The F-22 Raptor, then the YF-22, was the winning design in the Advanced Tactical Fighter evaluation program that USAF ran from 1981 to 1991, and went into service in 1997.
The F-22 Raptor is a Fifth Generation Air-Superiority Aircraft that is currently used in the US Airforce. It has been designed with stealth in mind and is the first Fighter aircraft in the world to be virtually invisible to radar. Combined with its BVR missiles, thrust vectoring engines and excellent avionics package it is one of the worlds foremost strike aircraft.
