              The F-35 needs to use afterburner to go supersonic, which is the very definition of NOT being supercruise. It also has problems with its afterburner, which is just the cherry on top.

                F-22 also needs afterburner to go supersonic. It just doesn't need afterburner to *stay* supersonic.

                The difference is, F-22 can get to ~Mach 1.5 and then shut off its afterburner and maintain that speed using only military thrust until it runs out of fuel. F-35 can get up to the same speed, but when it shuts off its afterburner, it slowly begins to decelerate until it falls back below the speed of sound (supposedly, about a hundred miles later).

                So, yes, F-22 is superior at the interception and air superiority roles. F-15s are better than F-16s at those roles, too.

        Nope. F-22 wasn't even particularly expensive, that was more public perception. Adjust for inflation and flyaway cost was the same or less than the F-14 and F-15. And if you go back and look at historical articles, both of those had the exact same stuff said about them as the F-22 and F-35 lol. The F-16 was made because of concerns the F-22 was "too expensive" but a big reason the F-22 ended up costing more was precisely because they made fewer of them. Economies of scale matter even for advanced fighters.

        The REAL reason for that was simply because peer war was entirely off the US radar at that point. It was the End Of History, and the new enemies were global terrorists and small scale shit like that. Russia was assumed to be rational and no longer a geopolitical threat even if hopes about them modernizing and become a civilized country were fading, China had yet to have Xi appear on the scene and start to head back down the Mao path, didn't need a high performance ASF vs the middle east.

        NGAD though is coming in response to "oh shit, peer power war is back on the table". It's not going anywhere.

          F-22 is a failure because it's only good for AA. F-35 may be minimally worse at pure AA but it's simply better to have multiroles capable of any mission.

          • 1 year ago
            Anonymous

            The F-14 and F-15 were "only good for AA" to the same degree too (technically F-22 could be equipped with SDBs or the like if we really had felt like it). But they were built vs a very genuine threatening near-peer opponent. F-14 was considered a boondoggle for a long time precisely because the war it was built to fight never came (just as everyone hoped it wouldn't). Unironically Top Gun totally changed the public's perception of it. F-15 did see combat though so looks a lot better, but still not what it was designed to do. It's always hard to try to guess at "deterrent value" since by definition deterrents are meant to deter and hopefully never have to prove themselves, yet still have to work if they are needed. But at least for those aircraft the potential need was very concrete.

            F-22 just didn't have that mission, so was much harder to justify. No peer opponent where serious air superiority might be useful. Unless you consider the F-14 a "failure" too though (and you'd have more arguments for that) eh, and I wouldn't agree either way.

            NGAD has a rising China with a building powerful air force and navy as the context. Back to the hotter parts of the Cold War.

              F-15 is easy to convert for ground attack missions. F-22 is not because of missile bay. F-14 was canned the moment other navy planes got decent at air combat.

                Same applies to F-35. And the F-22 bay can fit 8 amramm or SDB, the F-35 only 4.

                F-35 now fit 6 AMRAAMs. Their bays also allow larger bombs. And F-35 has ground attack software and sensors while F-22 would need pods if you want any kind of precision strike.

              Dumb question, but is it expected that there will be a hot war against China or its allies? I know the cold war is over but isn't the possibility of escalation to nuclear exchange still a threat? Asking this genuinely. I guess for proxy wars or the like it would be useful?

      The F-22 is on its way out because a readyness rate of less than 50% approaching 40%. The replacement is the F-15 silent eagle. I dont think anything will come out of this project, it will fizzle and implode like so many other ambitious american R&D projects before.

        The Silent Eagle is a meme. Boeing never did any proper RCS testing on it and the one example built was little more than a flying mock up.

        NGAD will supplement then supplant the F22. A few F15 Eagle IIs are being built as missile trucks for F35 and to replace the aging F15Cs still in USAF inventories.

      Tankers and airliners face largely the same design requirements: Good amount of space and weight capacity, beyond that as efficient as possible to maintain and fly. And the reason modern airliners all look more or less the same is that that's the optimal configuration for doing that. You get exotic-looking planes when there's some requirement that means a plain-jane design won't do. Needs to be stealthy, needs to do mach 3, etc.
