    A KC-10 Extender from Travis Air Force Base, Calif., refuels an F/A-22 Raptor. The Raptor is the replacement for the F-15 Eagle. It is the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world, combining a revolutionary leap in technology and capability with reduced support requirements and maintenance costs. The F/A-22's integrated avionics gives it first-look, first-shot, first-kill capability that guarantees U.S. air dominance for decades. [U.S. Air Force photo by Judson Brohmer]

    Raptor 4001 undergoes wet-runway testing during a rare rainy day here at Edwards AFB in the Mojave Desert. The F/A-22 was tested at speeds of 30, 60 and 90 knots. This test is just one of thousands that the F/A-22 Combined Test Force is putting the Raptor through during the most extensive test program that any fighter aircraft has undergone.

    The application of advanced avionics software in the F/A-22 is key to the Raptor's revolutionary performance advantage over any other fighter. In the air-to-air arena, the stealthy F/A-22 will be virtually unseen on radar, while its sophisticated array of sensors and advanced radar will allow it to reach out and strike adversary aircraft undetected from long range. The advanced software package will also enhance the Raptor's ability to deliver precision air-to-surface weapons on target, day or night, in any weather. [U.S. Air Force photo]
