Although the two YF-22A's were constructed largely of metal, some 28%
of the F-22A/B airframe will comprise composites. The angular design incorporates
low observables in its construction and configuration, the latter having
been refined somewhat for production aircraft. Maneuverability is enhanced
by a triplex digital FBW flight control system and two dimensional thrust-vectoring
exhaust nozzles, while the advanced technology reheat powerplants allow
the aircraft to operate in supercruise (supersonic cruise without afterburner
augmentation).
