The USAF developed a requirement for a new air superiority fighter to replace the F-15 Eagle.
Two proposals were submitted with the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor being selected as the new
Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF). The aircraft is constructed using 39% titanium, 24% composite
material, 16% aluminum and 1% thermoplastic by weight. All these components contribute to the
F-22 being a light weight, extremely maneuverable, extremely fast aircraft that uses stealth
technology. The F-22 is also capable of ground attack, electronic warfare and signals intelligence.
F-22A Raptor 91-4007 c/n 645-4007 made its maiden flight October 15, 2001 and was delivered
to the 411th FLTS/ 412 TW at Edwards AFB on January 5, 2002. 91-4007 is simply referred to
as Raptor 007. Over the years Raptor 007 carried out several F-22 firsts, first AIM-120 and AIM-9
launches, first to down a drone with a missile plus other firsts. Along with missile launches Raptor
007 took part in numerous satellite-guided weapons release tests. On April 19, 2013 Raptor 007
successfully completed its 1,000th sortie.
