China, Russia can't top our fabulous F-22 fighters
Fox News
Our F-22 Raptor is the world’s most superior fighter which does things no other fighter can do.
Rebecca Grant is president of IRIS Independent Research.
The F-22 does things no other fighter can do. First, it is shaped for stealth, meaning enemy radars can’t track it very well. Materials in the gray paint scheme absorb radar, too. You can see the F-22 carries its air-to-air missiles inside weapons bays, not under the wings, to preserve that stealth. In the F-22’s nose is a giant, sophisticated radar that comes in handy for tracking bad guy airplanes at long distances – or finding intruding "objects" in American airspace. F-22s have a low probability of intercept inflight datalink, meaning their pilots can share screens and communicate without detection.
Maybe the most impressive secret technologies are in the engines. Two powerful, F119 turbofan engines made by Pratt&Whitney of Connecticut produce more thrust than any other military engine and contain a special technology called supercruise. With supercruise, the F-22 can pass Mach 1.5 and sustain supersonic flight without using an afterburner.
