Highlights of the F-22 Raptor fighter demonstration from the 2007 Calif. Capital Airshow at Mather Field In Rancho Cordova. The event took place June 9-10.
The Typhoon is not a stealth aircraft, despite various assertions to this effect, nor is it a genuine supercruiser like the F-22. Its design incorporates none of the features seen in very low observable types, nor does the EJ200 incorporate the unique design features of the F119 and F120 powerplants.
In terms of where to position the Typhoon in the current menagerie of fighter aircraft, it can be best described as an F/A-18C sized fighter with BVR systems and agility performance better than older F-15 models, similar to growth F-15 models with same generation systems and engines, but inferior to the F-15 in useful operating radius.
Vertical take off has been around since late 60's ?
Its all about stealth air superiority, With the F-22 the enemy will never know that the plane is there till the missile activates its radar, giving the enemy pilot, maybe just enough time to eject =)
@FIREDOG916 omfg its not the F/A 22 its the F-22 A means attack and F means fighter: the raptor is an air superiority fighter not an attack plane

The Typhoon is a Raptor killer
