There are some good PD iamges at Defense Imagery.mil, including a couple of in-flight shots. - BilCat ( talk) 08:49, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
The Mach 1.58 supercruise speed is given by multiple sources, including Aronstein's book. Also, I don't see why we need to round to one decimal place. The F-22's supercruise speed is also given in two decimal places. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.228.145.163 ( talk) 08:20, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
The "YF" designation should be explained. The 'F' is obvious (Fighter), but the 'Y' is not. I asked an AF Col. what the 'Y' meant, and he said that it simply means "one step beyond 'X'" (experimental). Of course, that would not qualify as a proper WP source. Can somebody find a source and clarify this in the article? —Thanks in advance, E: 71.20.250.51 ( talk) 03:08, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
The F-22 design evolution articles on Code One Magazine (part 1 [1] and part 2 [2]) has a wealth of images, especially of the proposals from Lockheed, Boeing, and General Dynamics during the RFI, the initial submissions for the RFP, and the design evolution into the YF-22 and then into the F-22. However, I couldn't find whether or not these images are free to use, and as such, is there a way to post low-resolution non-free images in the article? It would greatly help visualize the descriptions in this article.

I have added considerable amount of design history information compiled from several sources to give a summary of how the design came to be. The article has nearly doubled in size, so I would like other editors to review my work to make sure it's still up to standards. Steve7c8 ( talk) 22:26, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
