The Lockheed Martin/Boeing F-22 Raptor is an American twin-engine, all-weather, supersonic stealth fighter aircraft.As a product of the United States Air Force's Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) program, the aircraft was designed as an air superiority fighter, but also incorporates ground attack, electronic warfare, and signals intelligence capabilities.
F-117A Nighthawk 79–10780 in a test flight testing a desert camouflage scheme. F-117A Nighthawk 79–7082 in experimental grey camouflage scheme. Later, this motif was used by the Air Force on the F-22 Raptor. In the meantime, training continued out in the Nevada desert.
Each vehicle-specific paint scheme consisted of a color placement pattern and a combination of four out of twelve colors from the Federal Standard 595 (FS595) color reference. [1] The colors and pattern scheme could be adjusted as the environments changed. [1] Military modelers often emulate the schemes when painting models and soldiers. [1]

During the Munich Crisis of 1938, the Royal Air Force implemented plans to camouflage its aircraft in its disruptively patterned Temperate Land Scheme of "Dark Earth" and "Dark Green" above and "Sky" (similar to a duck egg blue) below. This scheme was known colloquially as "Sand and Spinach" when the pattern was painted on at the factory, large ...

Almost simultaneously with a single squadron of USAF F-15C Eagles, the F-2 was the first operational military aircraft in the world to feature an AESA radar, [27] [28] [26] before the F-22 Raptor's AN/APG-77 AESA radar. larger tailplane [26] three-piece cockpit canopy; Equipments and OFP related to the avionics system differ from the F-16 in ...
Delivering almost 22% more thrust with 40% fewer parts than its F100 predecessor, the F119 allows the F-22 to achieve supercruise speeds of up to Mach 1.8. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The F119's nozzles incorporate thrust vectoring that enable them to direct the engine thrust ±20° in the pitch axis to give the F-22 enhanced maneuverability.
