Landing Gear
The landing gear is a Menasco retractable tricycle type, stressed
for no-flare landings of up to 3.05m/s downward speed. The
nosewheel tyre measures 23.5 x 7.5-10 and the 2 mainwheel
tyres measure 37 x 11.5-18.

Weapon Bays

The F-22 is armed with 6 AIM-120C missiles, or 2 GBU-30 1000
lb JDAM bombs in the ventral bays. These are located on the
bottom of the plane. 2 AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles are stored
internally in the sides of the air intake ducts. The weapons
bays are covered by doors, which are closed during normal
flight. When an AIM-9 missile is fired, the door opens, an
ejection mechanism is positioning the missiles outside the
plane and the missiles is fired. The AIM-120C missile just
drops from the plane and ignites its rocket when it is on a
safe distance from the plane. After firing a missile, the doors
close again to preserve stealth.

The F-22 is equipped with a M61A2 internal long-barrel 20 mm
cannon with a 480 round magazine capacity, which is mounted
above the right wing root. An inward opening door covers the
muzzle to preserve the fighters stealth qualities.

The F-22 is capable of carrying existing and planned air-to-air
weapons. These include a full complement of medium-range
missiles such as the AIM-120A advanced medium range air-to-air
missile (AMRAAM) and short-range missiles such as the AIM-9
Sidewinder.

The 2-dimensional vectoring nozzles can divert the full augmented
thrust 20 degrees op- or downward in a fraction of a second for
enhanced performance and maneuverability. The special nozzle
shape provides the aircraft with the required stealth characteristics
when viewed from the rear. The exhaust flame can move up and
down, enabling the aircraft to perform an AOA (Angle of Attack)
of over 60 degrees.
