Keep that up and we'll have Denyav and Tarver here denying that it was
really the Raptor but actually an F-15C with prosthetics.


F15 is a highly maneuverable plane on other hand f22 is a super-maneuverable
plane.
If you check my posts,I always said "because of this super-maneuverability
requirement wont be able to satify its range criteria"

As of today,f22 is still not be able to meet its range criteria.period.

Unless they make neccesary radical design changes which are already embedded in
alphabet soup type modification proposals (A-22,B-22,E-22 etc,etc) it wont be
able to meet its original range criteria in your or my lifetime.
Needless to say,all proposed modifications
require a reduction of maneuverability,even with the possible installation of
3D nozzles.
