The story
What makes it different
Supercruises above Mach 1.5 without afterburner. Production stopped at 195 aircraft and the line was closed rather than exported.
Against a 13.56 m wingspan the Raptor carries 38,000 kg at maximum takeoff weight and reaches 2,414 km/h. First flight was 1997, and 195 were built.
A note on the numbers: Top speed is officially given only as 'Mach 2 class'; the figure shown is the widely cited estimate.
