The F-22 Raptor is an air dominance fighter, with higher speed and longer range, greater agility, enhanced offensive and defensive avionics, and reduced observability as compared with current US Air Force aircraft. Its increased capability is due to the high performance materials in the engine, the structure, and the skin. Efficient processing methods also contribute to higher reliability, lower costs, and simplified maintenance. The F-22 raptor materials, composite parts, resin transfer molding, composite pivot shaft, electron beam welding, hot isostatic pressing, engine design and vectoring nozzle are described.
