The F-22 Raptor and The F-35 Lightning II are the latest and greatest products of the US Air Force as well as here we are also describing some interesting facts like Engine, Weaponry, cost and so on. So, here we are discussing the information and also difference about the F-22 Raptor and The F-35 Lightning II.
The F-22 Raptor is a fifth-generation fighter aircraft as well as that aircraft is a single-seat and also twin-engine are there. The F-22 Raptor is developed for the USAF (United States Air Force).Engine
The F-22 Raptor is used two engines as well as Two F119-PW-100 turbofan engines provides power the F-22 Raptor and also apart from the F-35 engine Two things set the F-22 engines. F-22 Raptor is contains ability to supercruise and that ability is gives by the Pratt & Whitney F119s and also The F-22 Raptor is Stealth air superiority fighter.
Cost
Cost of the F-22 Raptor is $150 million but without factoring in the research as well as development or also lifecycle maintenance and after including the cost of the research as well as development is $334 million or also after including the cost of the Government Accountability Office lifetime maintenance of The F-22 costs is near about $700 million per plane.
Weaponry
The F-22 Raptor is contains ability to locate an emery as well as The F-22 Raptor is also contains ability of the fire at the enemy or escape before enemy pilot is knows the F-22 has locked onto that Raptor. The F-22 Raptor is also provides one mantra and that is first look, first shot, first kill.
Landing And Radar
The F-22 is land at all conventional aircraft land as well as radar system of the F-22 is APG-77 but also we need to know that APG-77 is outdated compared to the F-35. APG-77 is an advanced multimode as well as multitarget interleaved search and also it is all-weather and fire control radar.
Max Speed
Max Speed of The F-22 Raptor is over 1,500 miles per hour means around Mach 2. The F-22s contains capability of supercruise the key to this speed and that speed was noted earlier.
Range, Customers, Size And Weapons Bay
F-22 Raptor have an unlimited range with the aerial refueling capabilities as well as that Raptor is premier weapon for the United States and also the F-22 Raptor is larger plane in every facet means that contains wingspan of 44 feet 6 inches or the F-22 is 61 feet one inch long. F-22 is carry heavier bombs means that is for the air-to-ground combat.
Communication, Navigation And Identification
The CNI (Communication, Navigation and Identification) avionics systems is different between those two fifth-generation fighters means in Communication, Navigation and Identification F-22 aircraft is designed and developed by Lockheed Martin.
Production Site, Training, Machine Gun
F-22 program is made it clear from the get-go and that the Raptor was a U.S. machine only as well as USAF is the only entity to train F-22 pilots for the F-22 Raptor and also F-22 Raptor is outfitted with the M61A2 20mm Gatling gun.
The F-35 Lightning II
The F-35 Lightning II is a single-seat aircraft as well as The F-35 Lightning II is contains single-engine as well as all weather are suited and also that aircraft is fifth generation aircraft. The F-35 Lightning II is multirole combat aircraft as well as that is designed for the ground-attack and also for air-superiority missions.
Engine
The most common difference between the two aircraft means between the F-22 and F-35 is that the F-22 employs two engines but the F-35 only uses one as well as F-35 can’t match the thrust up or down a maximum of 20 degrees. Power of the F-35 is provided by the either F135-PW-600 or F135-PW-400 and also F135-PW-100.
Cost
Unit Cost of the F-35 Lightning II is $91 million but without including research and development as well as also without lifecycle maintenance costs but with including those costs lifecycle costs of that aircraft is $373 million each and because of that F-35 Lightning II is cheaper.
Weaponry
The F-35 Lightning II is completely maxed out with the munitions as well as When the F-35 Lightning II is maxed out than carries 14 AIM-120 AMRAAM.
Landing And Radar
The F-35 variants have a unique landing capabilities as well as radar system of the F-35 is APG-81 and also APG-81 is designed for the operate as a radar and also for ESM (Electronics Support Measures) receiver and also for jammer.
Max Speed
Max Speed of The F-35 Lightning II contains maximum speed is over 1, 200 miles per hour means around 1.6. Mach. Max speed of the F-35 Lightning II is a little slower.
Range, Customers, Size and Weapons Bay
F-35 Lightning II has an unlimited range with the aerial refueling capabilities as well as The F-35 has a number of global partners and that is also designed with export in mind. F-35 Lightning II has 35 feet wide and also F-35 is 14 feet tall as well as F-35 Lightning II is designed for the more versatile engagement approach and also it has a unique weapons bay. F-35 contains air-to-ground bombs like AIM-132 ASRAAM Brimstone anti-tank missiles, Paveway series of bombs, AIM-120 AMRAAM, cluster munitions and so on.
Communication, Navigation and Identification
The CNI (Communication, Navigation and Identification) avionics systems is different between those two fifth-generation fighters means F-35’s Communication, Navigation and Identification is integrated by its sole developer and that is Northrop Grumman.
Production Site, Training, Machine Gun
The F-35 Lightning II is on the other hand as well as that is much more of a global citizen and also for the training purpose the F-35 System is takes place in multiple locations around the globe or F-35 Lightning II is outfitted with the GAU-22/A 25mm gun.
