Please excuse another Dumbo question, but what is this? The prototype
that was made , leading up the F-22 production fighter?

Both are Lockheed designs
F22 is twin-engine.
F35 is single-engine/S/VTOL Joint Strike Fighter
Similar design for some parts commonality with the F22 for cost savings.
F22 is an F25 replacement.
F35 is an F16/A8 replacement
