The F-22A is a single-seat, twin-engine, all-weather stealth tactical fighter aircraft developed exclusively for the United States Air Force (USAF). Known around the world for its unique shape, remarkable tactical supermanoeuvring, supersonic cruise capabilities, and its devastating ability to dominate adversary aircraft, the F-22A is the world’s most capable operational fifth generation air superiority fighter.
The world's most advanced operational air superiority / air dominance fighter presents a challenge for any flight simulation developer. A passion project of ours, the Top Mach Studios team has dedicated over two years of research and development to the creation of this model for Microsoft Flight Simulator and in doing so we have pushed the limits of what is possible in the sim. We can say with certainty that nothing available for MSFS can do what this airplane is capable of and this model will provide sim pilots of all abilities a variety of piloting challenges and many hours of entertainment and enjoyment. You’ll find this aircraft model to be an absolute thrill and a true joy to fly.
MODEL FEATURES AND CAPABILITIES Much about the F-22A is still classified; many basic details about the aircraft are still protected United States Government secret information. We’ve done our best, utilizing publicly available images, videos, graphics, statements by the USAF, pilots and engineers, and publicly known specifications to replicate what we know about the F-22A. In spite of the minimal publicly available unclassified information about the real world aircraft, we've rendered a highly capable, entertaining, and very realistic feeling model of the F-22A Raptor.
