Art. No.: 510002822
Art. Description: 1:48 US F-22A Raptor

The Lockheed Martin-Boeing F-22 is a fifth-generation stealth fighter aircraft used by the US Air Force. The Raptor is powered by two Pratt & Whitney F119 turbofan engines with afterburners, which can generate thrust vectoring through the movement of the exhaust nozzles. Its stealth capability is achieved through an extremely aerodynamic profile and the use of high-tech construction materials that minimize radar detectability. Great attention has been paid to the design of the air intakes and exhausts to reduce heat signature and noise emissions. The air-to-air and air-to-ground weapon systems are installed in the fuselage's weapon bays to minimize radar cross-section reflections. The avionics are highly advanced, capable of detecting, tracking, and engaging targets at great distances.
