Extremely Powerful F-22 Raptor Shows Its Crazy Ability

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 also has ground attack, electronic warfare, and signal intelligence capabilities. The prime contractor, Lockheed Martin, built most of the F-22's airframe and weapons systems and did its final assembly, while Boeing provided the wings, aft fuselage, avionics integration, and training systems.

The aircraft was variously designated F-22 and F/A-22 before it formally entered service in December 2005 as the F-22A. After a protracted development and despite operational issues, the USAF considers the F-22 critical to its tactical air power, and says that the aircraft is unmatched by any known or projected fighter. The Raptor's combination of stealth, aerodynamic performance, and situational awareness gives the aircraft unprecedented air combat capabilities.

The real ones are the mechanics working on these planes it’s insane how much work goes into keeping these jets flying

4:50 *F-22 starts C-walking through the air*

The F22 Raptor is one of a kind. It will always look like it's from the future.

Respect to the lucky few who have earned an opportunity to pilot one of these magnificent machines.

25year old technology makes you wonder what is really out there

[Dryvlyne]

This guy flying the plane is the real Top Gun Maverick. Most people would blackout from the amount of Gs he's enduring with these maneuvers.

I was on the flight line at Lockheed to see the first flight of the f 22. The entire factory and their family's were invited. It was incredible being there with the men and women who put this magnificent beast together

[robskeern]

Just imagine what sort of technology they have now after perfecting this 20 year old aircraft. It's incredible to think of the advancement we had to engineer such a machine that can maneuver like this in the air... amazingly

[SCAsian]

Speed and sweeping turns are cool but these stalls and the ability to just move around that much in a small amount of space is what makes this thing so cool. Like the control you can have for better target acquisition is insane. The ultimate fighter isn’t just fast and sleek, it’s like putting a human in the sky and being able to have full spatial awareness. This plane comes pretty close and it’s just nuts man

[bonkers]

I was stationed at Langley and loved watching the F-22. Demo pilots would fly all the time. it was like watching an airshow every few days. Raptors are Awesome.

[lamegame]

Pretty cool to see it flying next to those p-51s. Really puts things into perspective how far aviation has come in 80 years

[waltsadventure]

I've seen this beast in flight a few years ago. The ability to damn near go stationary and do a 180 was most impressive. I still can't wrap my mind around it's maneuvers.

[serpephone]

I was there at an airshow and to think this is 30 years old technology is incredible! Imagine what the military is cooking up now!

[ronnelechavez]

It's hard to imagine if this aircraft will have a successor in the future but there will surely be. Technology seems limitless.

[brookesenfrance]

3 decades old technology moving like a spaceship😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉

[smarteman]

I'm so lucky to get the opportunity to watch this jet almost everyday for years at Langley. The pilots job was to try and break it and they did an excellent job at trying. The moves it can make in the air are nothing short of incredible and something you have to see with your own eyes to truly appreciate. This video is among one of the best that show some of the things it can do; hopefully one day someone will catch a video of it doing a 180 and flying backwards before shooting back out the other direction. One of the coolest things I seen this jet do besides practically just parking in the sky without stalling out then tumbling down and blasting off again. I could go on and on about it but I'll leave it at that. Great video

Aliens look down, wow, humans have invented a skateboard.

Almost 30 years ago I watch a pilot in an f16 practicing for an airshow and was mesmerized at what that bird could do. It was the most incredible sight I've ever seen to this day. I'd love to see that pilot in this f22.

My mom: "When u gonna get married, son?"
Me: "I don't know. It's extremely difficult to find a woman that looks like an F22 Raptor."
