POPSSenate Kills F22 Funding--What about the Russians? No more F22s for a while. We'll have to wait until the Russians and Chinese finish developing their own fighters with capabilities like the F22. The F35 isn't in the same game as the F22, it is a cross between a Harrier and an F16

POPS How The Stealth F/A-22 Raptor Works
The F/A-22 is the world's first stealth air-to-air fighter, designed to be unseen at long range and deadly in close-in air combat. It can also strike ground targets with precision accuracy. maneuverability in the air. Radar works by sending radio waves out from an antenna and collecting the waves that bounce back from any objects. On a radar screen in an aircraft or in a ground-based radar station, an airplane appears as a blip. The larger the aircraft, the larger the blip appears on the screen. Aircraft designers have worked for years to minimize the radar signature of an aircraft. If the radio waves are deflected or absorbed so they don't return to the radar antenna, then the airplane is invisible or could be mistaken for a flock of birds or other non-threatening object. Aircraft designers use a jumble of curved surfaces and other design tricks to deflect radar waves in unexpected patterns. Planes are painted with thick paint that can absorb radar waves instead of reflect th
