Description - F-22 Raptor: Lockheed Martin Stealth Fighter by Ken Neubeck
The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor entered service in 2005, and production ended in late 2011. Despite the appearance of many new designs in the interim, an argument can still be made for the Raptor as the most advanced fighter aircraft on active duty today. Primarily due to its stealth capabilities, the F-22 program remains somewhat secretive, and the aircraft cannot be exported from the US. This work provides a concise pictorial history of the aircraft, from its design and development to its adoption, combat duty, and even use as a exhibition aircraft with the Raptor demo team. AUTHOR: Ken Neubeck is a reliability engineer who worked on the A-10 production program. He has authored numerous books on aircraft and amateur radio technology. He served as president of the Long Island Republic Airport Historical Society, which preserves aspects of the history of Long Island aviation. 215 colour and b/w photographs
