F-22 Raptor: The $67 Billion Fighter America Refused to Share

The F-22 Raptor was born from Cold War rivalry, but by the time it entered service, the Soviet Union was gone. With costs skyrocketing, foreign sales banned, and a fleet capped at fewer than 200 jets, the Raptor became one of the most expensive aircraft programs in history. Now, as the US prepares its 6th-generation NGAD fighter, the F-22’s secretive legacy continues to shape the future of air combat.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
