The FB-22 Strike Raptor is an experimental variant of the F-22 Raptor with an increased bomb load.
Design[]
The FB-22 Strike Raptor is a proposed long-range stealth strike aircraft developed from the F-22 Raptor platform. Its design emphasized deep strike capabilities while maintaining stealth and a degree of air combat performance. The most notable visual change is its wider delta wing configuration, which dramatically increases internal fuel capacity and aerodynamic lift, extending its operational range without the need for external tanks. The airframe retains the angular stealth geometry of the F-22, with radar-absorbing materials and internal weapon bays for reduced radar cross-section. The FB-22's fuselage is slightly lengthened to accommodate additional avionics and fuel, while the larger wing area allows it to carry a heavier internal payload—up to 15,000 pounds of precision-guided munitions, including Small Diameter Bombs, JDAMs, and even future hypersonic weapons.
Firepower[]
The FB-22 Strike Raptor was designed to provide strong firepower while maintaining stealth. Unlike the F-22, which is meant for air superiority, the FB-22 is made for deep strike missions, carrying various precision-guided weapons over long distances. It can hold up to 30 GBU-39 Small Diameter Bombs or a mix of 910 kg JDAMs in its larger bomb bays, keeping a low radar profile to attack well-defended targets undetected. Additionally, it can use external hardpoints to increase payload to over 13,600 kg. The FB-22 is also prepared for future weapons like hypersonic missiles and can carry air-to-air missiles for self-defense. It offers stealth, precise strikes, and high payload capacity for targeting enemy infrastructure and defenses.
Avionics[]
The FB-22 Strike Raptor had advanced technology to improve its stealth and striking accuracy. It used sensor fusion to combine data from different sensors for a clear view of the battlefield. The AN/APG-77 radar allowed for long-range detection while staying hidden. It also had electronic warfare systems for disrupting enemy threats and a modern cockpit to help pilots manage missions effectively with integrated planning software.
Mobility[]
The FB-22 Strike Raptor was powered by two F119-PW-100 engines, the same engines used in the F-22 Raptor. These engines were turbofan engines with afterburners, providing a balance of thrust and fuel efficiency necessary for both long-range strike missions and high-speed evasive maneuvers. The F119 engines offered approximately 155.6 kN pounds of thrust each, enabling the FB-22 to achieve supersonic speeds while maintaining fuel efficiency for extended missions. The engines also featured thrust vectoring nozzles, which contributed to maneuverability, though the FB-22's design focused more on stealth and range than extreme agility. The combination of these powerful engines, paired with the FB-22's aerodynamics, allowed the aircraft to fly at high subsonic speeds for most of its operational missions, maximizing fuel range and minimizing detection.
