The
Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is a
fifth-generation single-seat,
twin-engine, all-weather
stealth tactical
fighter aircraft developed for the
United States Air Force (USAF). The result of the USAF's
Advanced Tactical Fighter program, the aircraft was designed primarily as an
air superiority fighter, but has additional capabilities including
ground attack,
electronic warfare, and
signals intelligence roles.
Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor and was responsible for the majority of the airframe, weapon systems, and final assembly of the F-22, while program partner
Boeing provided the wings, aft fuselage, avionics integration, and training systems.
