Next-generation stealth

The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor was the first fifth-generation fighter to enter service, doing so in 2006. Fifth-generation fighters are defined by a minimal radar cross-section, improved aerodynamics and maneuverability, and advanced avionics. Other examples include the Chinese J-20, the Russian Su-57/PAK-50, and the American F-35.

This Raptor is rendered in full 1:1 scale, and thanks to a number of new building techniques, is much better-performing than most of my comparable 1:1 replicas. Like the original, it is fairly maneuverable and good for dogfighting. Additionally, it has a higher top speed than most craft of its size, topping out at just shy of Mach 1. There is also a bay for internal stores on the underside of the craft. To open it, invert the deploy setting on the two elevons.
