This is the story of America’s most advanced fighter jet ever built. But why the F-22 Raptor had a gold canopy, and why the United States never sold it to any of its allies, is #NotWhatYouThink #NWYT

Being a single-seat airplane means I'll never get to fly in the F-22 … BUMMER …
Sorry but the raptor is still one of my all time favorites. And shouldn't be replaced, the dumb f35 should be replaced
Didn't expect for you to drop the F-Bomb 😂
The F22 just looks better. The F35 looks more of a cheap Chinese knockoff than the actual Chinese knockoff.
Stealth is overrated. It only applies in the X-band, and us visible in all other radar bands. In addition, within 35kms, the plane is visible to the human eye.
But USA still can’t rent or sell f-16
Yemen you are done
Yeah, "amazing" 😂
where's the link for the deep dive into the X31?
The English Electric Lightning was one of the first aircraft to exceed the speed of sound in level flight without using after burning.
The F106 was capable of low supersonic speeds without afterburner but with a significant range penalty.
Huh…shot a balloon without a scratch? That a dumbest statement as balloon armed with missiles and gun.
F22 and SR71 are just always gonna get a click
"Since the 1980s Lockheed had already been experimenting with stealth in the F-117 Nighthawk platform." – Lockheed first began working on stealth as far back as the late 1950s. The SR-71 Blackbird, designed in the early 1960s, was an experiment in stealth.
Lets start a GoFundMemto restart the Raptor production line. We were promised 750! I want 750!
What happened to F-24 through F-34?
I always loved the overall design of the F22 the most. I hope it's replacement would be just as sleek
In the end not exporting these to Australia and Japan was probably a mistake. Imagine 300 of these in the air.
Best plane in the world
Hi nwyt, great vid here!
the famous kobra. Which none people saw being done on f-22
Super critical turbine might be the answer for super cruise capabalities.
This reminds me of C&C Generals, an air-to-air combat fighter jet. F-22 Raptor.
Yet, Maverick chose to fly F-18 instead.
So stealthy that it literally experiences a rendering glitch at 0:48
BAE Lightning. First to supercruise.
F22. "Advanced" Avionics. Already outdated and too expensive to update.
F35. Is a joke.
Yak-35 predecessor to F35. Also another joke.
X-31. 3 axis thrust vectoring. F-22 and F-35. 2 axis. Aim-9x was a result of the X-31 project.
F-22 golden canopy is a result of the F-16 golden coating. Learning from the past aren't we?
Lol. an aircraft that has no combat experience. and is too expensive to operate. Super lol. Its a worthless fighter in the end.
Why did the US use a stealth fighter to shoot a balloon ?
“It came out from that dogfight with out a scratch” What fight? fighting with a balon?
00:50 Easy guess: It's a Middle-East filter for enhanced immersion.
latvia has the wrong flag….its red-white-red not lightblue-black-lightblue
Who dares to challenge usa's might.❤ usa
Starscream 😂
What a gorgeous looking fighter jet! If I was a trillion air I’d get one for my collection.
Maybe other countries don’t want it b/c it is too expensive. Better spend the $ on schools and hospitals.
A plane just flew over my house
"dogfight" against an unmanned balloon haha
I agree….still GOAT! Until we see NGAD.
Why is one of the baltic countries flags colour-inverted? @11:03
I think I have classified documents for this plane
HE SWEARED! WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY
The F-35 is no longer more advanced in any areas since they began the Raptor Upgrade program. Everything the block 4 lightening upgrades will receive is now being refitted on the Upgraded Raptors that Lockheed Martin has started to complete the first few F-22's already including expanded missile capability
By any chance do you think you could make a video on the Royal Australian Navy? (Also, love your videos)
These comments fr be like: “my goldfish helped design and worked out the ingredients for Coca Cola”
Dassault Rafale – Saab JAS 39 Gripen and Eurofighter Typhoon have a better supercruise than the F22
