Can the F-22 do ground attack?

The result of the USAF’s Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) program, the aircraft was designed as an air superiority fighter, but also has ground attack, electronic warfare, and signals intelligence capabilities.

Can the F-22 carry bombs?

F-22 weapons The F-22 Raptor has four hardpoints on the wings, each rated to carry 2,270kg, which can carry AIM-120A AMRAAM or external fuel tanks. The GPS-guided, Boeing small diameter bomb (SDB) was integrated on the F/A-22 in February 2007. Eight SDBs can be carried with two AMRAAM missiles.

Can An A-10 Warthog dogfight?

Originally Answered: Would an A-10 do good in a dogfight? No. The A-10 is too slow and too underpowered. Yes, he can turn tightly… but he has no way to force the enemy to slow down and sit in front of his nose, and the faster, more powerful aircraft can always escape at will.

Can the F-22 Super Cruise?

The F-22 Raptor is capable of supercruise at Mach 1.8 (but is seen here running afterburner). The Dassault Rafale is capable of supercruising with four missiles and a belly drop tank.

What will replace f22 Raptor?

The F-22 will be replaced by the NGAD jet, which will fly alongside the “F-35, which will be the cornerstone, [the] F-15EX as we come in, and then we’ll have F-16 for a while as well,” Brown said.

Which plane has the most kills?

F6F Hellcat Hellcats were credited with 5,223 kills, more than any other Allied naval aircraft.

What kind of gun does the F-22 use?

The F-22A 20mm Gun System features the lightweight M61A2 20mm Gatling gun and linear linkless ammunition feed system. The linear linkless ammunition feed system features state-of-the-art composite and unique gun-feed technologies to provide high reliability at minimum weight.

Why can’t the F-22 Raptor launch weapons from its internal bay?

The aircraft is essentially wrapped around its internal bay, which is an essential characteristic of the F-22’s stealthy design. The limited space drove the configuration of the launchers and acoustic suppression devices. Launching weapons from an internal bay is not a new problem.

Why does the F-22 have so many under wing hardpoints?

This is an important factor in the F-22’s stealth characteristics, and it improves the fighter’s aerodynamics by dramatically reducing drag, which, in turn, improves the F-22’s range. The F-22 has four under wing hardpoints, each capable of carrying 5,000 pounds.

Does the F-22 have an internal bay?

The F-111 and F-117 have internal bays as well as older aircraft like the F-102, F-105, and F-106. Historically, bay acoustics and weapon re-contact with structure during separation have been issues. The F-22 has a requirement to launch weapons throughout the service envelope at roll rates up to 100 degrees per second.
