I have seen descriptions of the F-22 having a service ceiling of 50,000 feet which is 13,000 less than I have seen for the F-15. I thought the F-22 was much more advanced.in every way except perhaps top speed. How can the F-22 be the air supieriority fighter of the future when its predessor can fly 2 miles higher? What gives? Am I wrong? 50,000 is the most common number given for just about any modern fighter. It's a pretty much meaningless number. The F-22 is suppose to operate at 60k+ regularly and they've designed a pressure suit specifically for the F-22. Unless the suit has been cancelled. Anyway that's the last I've heard.
