RAAAHHHH!

Better updated version here!

Tier III Plane

Description

5th generation air superiority fighter which is possibly, the most advanced and outstanding fighter plane ever built. It has the best combination of stealth, speed, agility and precision, but all this comes with a high price tag.

Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor
For SimplePlanes

The Advanced Tactical Fighter program, “Senior Sky,” led to a competition between Lockheed/Boeing/General Dynamics and Northrop/McDonnell Douglas, who developed the YF-22 and YF-23, respectively. Ultimately, the YF-22 was chosen for its better maneuverability and lower costs, despite lower speed and stealth capability. Further development resulted in the F-22A Raptor, a highly maneuverable and supercruise capable advanced fifth-generation stealth fighter. While the F-22A has had several modernization upgrades, F-22A production has ceased since 2012 due to rising costs and the lack of an equal potential adversary. Thus, the fleet of F-22A’s remains at 187, far lower than the projected 750.

Because of the advanced technologies of the aircraft, the only operator of the F-22A Raptor is the US. Australia, Japan, and Israel were interested in purchasing F-22’s, but due to the ban on exports, are now looking to purchase F-35’s instead, which were meant for international export and have more multirole capability.

Author’s Notes

• On takeoff, use 100% throttle and 75% trim with auto-flaps. You can also take off using military power.
• On landing, use the trim to achieve your glide slope and adjust using pitch.
• To perform a cobra maneuver, slow to 600 km/h and stay level, throttle to military power (if you haven’t already) activate RSM, and pitch up. Release pitch when you reach 90 degrees AOA and apply taps of downwards pitch.
• To perform a kulbit maneuver, slow to 350 km/h, activate afterburner and RSM, and pitch up. You must be below 275 km/h at the height of your kulbit or you will lose yaw stability.
• To perform a falling leaf maneuver, slow to 600 km/h and activate RSM. Pull up and apply left or right roll. To recover, disable RSM and roll with the spin until you stop stalling.
• To perform a pedal turn, pitch up and perform a hammerhead, using RSM and yaw while pitching up. As you enter the spin, pitch up to stay in the spin and release and disable RSM to recover. You can also use differential thrust to help stay in the spin.
• At high AOA, roll input affects yaw maneuvering.
• The livery was removed due to part count issues
• Gun was removed due to game crashing issues as well

• Drag points we're reduced to increase mobile reliability (less lag)
