Avionics:
F22 has wide array of state of art systems which includes Electronic Warfare 'system' to for self defense ,Communications/Navigation/Identification (CNI) 'system’ for total integration,Inter/Intra-Flight Data Link (IFDL) that allows all F-22s in a flight to share target
Maneuverability:
F22 is highly maneuverable with ‘Thrust Vectoring’ where nozzles can be directed for vertical/horizontal inclination. Also, it can ’Super Cruise’ i.e the ability to fly supersonic without using afterburners
Weapons:
F22 has the best missiles for BVR (Beyond Visual Range) & WVR (Within Visual Range) combat which have higher kill percentage than its counterparts.
Stealth:
F22 is the stealthiest fighter ever build & has very low RCS (Radar Cross Sectional). It can’t be detected my most radar. So, it can strike without enemy knowing it is there in the 1st place. This is why F22 is the TIP OF SPEAR of the U.S.A.F .
