F 22 raptor vs su 57
The raptor has top speed in excess of 1,726mph and the jet can perform combat operations within the radius of 528mi. With two external wing tanks, the F-22 can fly about 1,864mi.
The engines allow the Raptor to supercruise at Mach 1.82 without afterburners. The F-22 is powered by a pair of Pratt & Whitney afterburning turbofan engines that produces a total 70,000 pounds of thrust. Whereas F-22’s 2D thrust vectors & larger control surfaces will give it better performance in pitch axis. However, SU-57 advantage would be 3D thrust vectors giving it better performance in low axis. Its engine nozzles can literally tilt independently in any direction to assist it in executing impossible maneuvers.īoth aircraft are highly maneuverable. The Russian fighter uses 3-dimensional thrust vectoring jets. On the other hand, SU-57 is even more maneuverable. The Raptor uses two-dimensional vector-thrust jets which can only go up and down in unison. The F-22 Raptor is the most maneuverable fighter the U.S. F-22's signature looks more like a spider. This design philosophy gives the Russian jet 'PAC-Man' like signature. Instead, it focuses on frontal aspect stealth. In contrast the SU-57’s design places far less emphasis on all-aspect low observables. Stealth was a foundational feature of the F-22 as the plane’s design maximize sensor evasion with diamond shaped wings and sharp faceted surfaces.
While the F-22 might be holding a better hand when it comes to stealth, the Russians have the edge in maneuverability due to its three-dimensional thrust vectoring engines. The raptor is optimized as a fast, high flying and stealth fighter jet.
