Abstract
Summary form only given. Imagine rocketing through the atmosphere at twice the speed of sound, invisible to your enemies, with total battle space awareness, in the most lethal fighter aircraft ever conceived. This paper, delivered by two first-generation F/A-22 test pilots, takes you inside the cockpit of one of the most ambitious fighter development programs of all time. It describes how the synergistic effects of stealth, sustained supersonic flight, unprecedented processing power, and agility via vectored thrust deliver a matchless capability to US forces.
