M22R Raptor

I would like to thank Sev40 for helping me change some things so this page can remain on the wiki. Thank you.
The M22R was a rebuild of the long retired original Raptor fighter from the 21st century built in the 2100s, using cheaper but still durable materials than its precursor and avionics from the 2100s time period. For a while, this so-called "Super Raptor" served as the primary attack aircraft of the newly formed UNSC. The Super Raptor was capable of travelling above the atmosphere via Ion engines (Allowing space combat) and can be outfitted with a bomb bay or spy equipment for use in the respective roles, making it more versatile than the old F-22 from the previous century. Development lead to the Raptor II several centuries later.
== History ==
The 21st Century F22 Raptor was a very expensive project that began in 1981, with its final example entering service in 2012. The F22 Raptor was slowly put ot of service by new aircraft. After the United States fell apart and the UNSC forming later, they needed a fighter. The UNSC returned to very old blueprints of a design called Rapier/Raptor. With cooperation from Polaris Air, formerly Lockheed Martin (the original designer of the Raptor) ,they improved the internal systems with modern technology and constructed the body (with some redesign) of the original aircraft out of a cheaper material to cut down on costs, and thus the Super Raptor was born, a fighter that would be upgraded for centuries until a new aircraft could take its place...Category:UNSC Aircraft
