Some say that just one NGAD stealth fighter could cost as much as $300 million. Will the jump in capabilities above the F-22 and F-35 be worth that big price tag? 

Last year, an image circulated on social media, which we have above, shows the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor inverted in flight.

Sadly, the F-22 Raptor is a fighter jet facing extinction. Congress has shut down the production line of stealth aircraft after only 186 aircraft.

To think of the F-22 and F-35 as competitors is to lose the point of their existence. Both have different roles and functions and one is not 'better' than the other. 

The F-35 Lighting II isn’t just a fighter jet. Indeed, the fifth-generation aircraft can accomplish several different mission sets, including Strategic Attack, Air Superiority, Close Air Support, Electronic Warfare, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD), and Destruction Enemy Air Defense (DEAD).
