Β This is how the F-22 should've looked in the first place. With both vectored thrust and canards, there'd be very little that'd be able to match her maneuverability.
Β Maybe they figured it'd be too easy for the g-forces from that sort of maneuverability could get to be too dangerous for the pilot?

The answer to that question is rather easy, simply incline the seat back some and the pilot will be able to handle more g-forces before blacking out.

Β Guess they'll only do that if faced with enemy fighters that have better maneuverability, and that would make a huge difference in the outcome of a dogfight.

My versions of the F-22A (which I'm Aptly gonna call it F-22V Hover Raptor) have the Model numbers based on engine design and role
F-22V- Mod.1-156: Has a modified Pratt&Whitney F-119 engine with vents pointing at the wing fans for downward thrust upon take off, wing desing is unaltered mostly to keep the design as stable as possible however it includes an "open wing" system to allow airflow and change in directions mid-flight
F-22V-Mod.0-187: Another (more conventional) modification, instead of "open wing" design of its VTOL model, this STOVL variant has nozzles under the wing that can twist up to 53 degrees and the forward nozzles can twist up to minus 20 degrees and plus 53 for landing and takeoff purposes only
Note: The 187's design is currently prone to overheat with extended use of 2 hours, it currently being revised

Nice design and all... I will better not ask how many dolars does it cost xD

Hi Bagera3005. LightningF22 here. I added your FA-22 Raptor to my favorite page. You do very professional work. I work for Boeing on the F22 developing the cockpit controls. Visit my page to see a Flash cockpit I built from memory. Will soon have all displays posted. Next project is to create the cockpit in 3D using MAYA. This should give it a more realistic look and feel.

thats cool, but i dont recall ever seeing a f-22 with conard wings... i could be wrong, awesome job

wall thay don't have one yet

hmm, looks cool. does it improve aerodynamics?

Actually, a canard foreplane reduces longitudinal stability, and is often intentionally used to destabilise an aircraft to increase manoeuvrability, but can also be used as pitchΒ stabilisers for otherwise unstable designs.

Awesome design, and would be cool if it was an actual eventual upgrade for the airframe

Add canards on anything and it's instantly cool!

I came up with a design kind of like this a while back, sort of as a thought experiment --- but yours looks WAY better!
All that's missing are some independently-pivoting, 3D Thrust Vectoring Nozzles. XD

I agree. That would be a show stopper at any airshow.

Now, this would be cool to see at an air show!
