Explanation :
F-22 Raptor stealth air superiority fighter is American first stealth jet fighter. With the dominating anti-air and stealth ability, Raptor is the most powerful fighter in the world.
In 1981, US Air Force required the development of ATF (Advanced Tactical Fighter) to replace F-15 and F-16. When Soviet Su-27 and MiG-29 were spotted by Western observers, USAF thought taking air supremacy from Su-27 and MiG-29 would be impossible with F-15 and F-16. Because they added most of new technologies such as stealth design and flight-control system, the cost of plane was so expensive, they cut the mount of producing 750 to 183.
Raptor's dominating abilities are coming from it's applied new technologies. With developments of super computer, develpers were able to design aerodynamic stealth design. This was the most important development that helped Raptor to be the best fighter. Also they put advanced flight-control system (also called as Fly-by-Wire system) and thrust vectoring engine nozzles, raptor can perform supermaneuverability, like Pugachev's Cobra or Herbs Maneuver (J-Turn). Raptor's special rectangular engine nozzles also helps stealth, reduce RCS (Radar Cross Section). Raptor's powerful F-119-PW-100 turbofan engines can perform supercruise and afterburner.
