Did you know? Although Japan had expressed interest in the F-22, the United States Congress never authorized the Raptor for export. Furthermore, because the Raptor utilizes turbofan engines with afterburners and two-dimensional thrust vectoring nozzles, the Raptor can accelerate to and cruise at speeds of Mach 1.8 without afterburners and being more fuel efficient than traditional turbojet engines.
