The F-22 Raptor Could Truly Be Headed for Retirement. Here s Why.
Is there something faster, stealthier, more maneuverable, and more lethal than the F-22? It seems that could be true.
So little is known about the now airborne 6th-Gen stealth fighter aircraft, yet it is a potential breakthrough platform that is exploding onto the scene years ahead of what was previously anticipated.
Now, it appears the progress and promise of the Air Force’s Next Generation Air Dominance 6th Gen program may already be substantially impacting the service’s force structure plans for the future.
The F-22 may now retire 20 or more years earlier than is now planned, should plans articulated in a “yet-to-be-unveiled” Air Force 30-year fighter force design, according to senior service leaders quoted in a fast-breaking report from Air Force Magazine

Raytheon Technologies unit Collins Aerospace has delivered a Large Format Display system for Nasa’s X-59 Quiet Supersonic Technology (QueSST) aircraft.
The company was contracted by Lockheed Martin, the prime contractor of the X-59 project, to develop a customised avionics solution.
Collins Aerospace worked closely with Lockheed Martin Skunk Works and Nasa to jointly develop software applications.
The solution includes touchscreen primary flight displays equipped with multi-function windows, head-up display symbology, and synthetic vision.
NASA selects contractor for quiet supersonic flight community testing
NASA has awarded a contract to
Harris Miller Miller & Hanson Inc. of Burlington, Massachusetts, to support a national campaign of community overflight tests using the agency’s
Significant subcontractors include:
• Blue Ridge Research and Consulting LLC of Asheville, North Carolina
• EMS Brüel & Kjær Inc. of Folsom, California
NASA is designing and building the X-59 research aircraft – a piloted, single-seat supersonic X-plane – with
technology that reduces the loudness of a sonic boom to that of a gentle thump. NASA s aeronautical innovators are leading a team across government and industry to collect data that could allow supersonic flight over land, dramatically reducing travel time within the United States or to anywhere in the world.
Presently, overland supersonic commercial flights are banned on account of the fact people are pretty annoyed (and some scared) of the sonic booms generated when aircraft break through the sound barrier. Needless to say, such a ban has pretty much dwarfed all efforts of speeding up air travel so far.
