I'll start that one off with the P-39 Aircobra. Any more?

Would the F-22 fit in this category, or is it too early to tell yet?

Definitely not. It's met or exceeding all of it's requirements.
Unless that's how *you* define a loser.

It's far too early to tell.

You don't know any more than I do the circumstances under which it
sees action. In 10 or 20 years time, technology will certainly have
advanced: it may be that the F-22 is seen as a wonder weapon, or it
may be seen as technically accomplished but obsolete, like the
Yamato.
