The Raptor is powered by two Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100 engines that produce in excess of 30,000 pounds of thrust each and posess 2D [[Thrust Vectoring|thrust vectoring]] capabilities. They give the Raptor the unique ability to "supercruise" at [[supersonic]] speeds without the use of [[afterburner]]s as required by all previous [[turbojet]] designs. The craft has an internal armament bay which holds [[air-to-air missile]]s and can carry various small bombs internally or on hard-point attachments.

The F-22 Raptor evolved from the YF-22 experimental design produced for the [[US Air Force]]'s Advance Tactical Fighter (ATF) competition in which the Lockheed Martin design defeated the rival [[Northrup Grumman]] designed YF-23.
