Description: "Get ready for a close encounter with the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor."--BOOK JACKET.

"The F-22 was designed with a single goal in mind: to achieve air dominance - which means nothing less than the complete and utter suppression of all enemy air activity so other aircraft can carry out bombing runs with impunity. Through this eye-opening chronicle - based on intensive research and never-before-published insights - you'll get a high-adrenaline, insider's look at the F-22: its origins, technology, and the masterminds responsible for its development."--BOOK JACKET.

"Detailed here are the Raptor's fearsome arsenal of features - never before seen in a fighter - including complete stealth characteristics; supercruise (the ability to fly at Mach 1.5 or better without the use of afterburners - an aviation first); and a vectored thrust which allows for tremendous maneuverability."--BOOK JACKET.
