F-22 Raptor and the F-35 Lightning Ll

The F-22 Raptor and The F-35 Lightning ll

1. Thesis: The F-22 Raptor and the F-35 Lightning ll, have similarities and differences in engine type, the aerodynamics, and the types of fuel it needs.
2.  Engine type

1. The F-22 engine is called Pratt & Whitney F119

 1.Designed by Lockheed Martin.

 2. Is an afterburning turbofan engine.

 B. The F-35 Lightning engine is called Pratt & Whitney F135.

1. Also designed by Lockheed Martin.
2. Also an afterburning turbofan engine.

C. Comparing both engines.

1. Both engines are made by Lockheed Martin.
2. The F-22 has a duel engine, while The F-35 is only a single engine.

1. Aerodynamics

1. F-22 aerodynamics.

1. The plane has two tails in the rear to help with drag.
2. One tail is also smaller than the other.

1. F-35 aerodynamics.

1. The F-35 has a set of wings on its tail.
2. While all tails remain the same size.

1. Comparing aerodynamics.

1. The F-22 is built more for speed than the F-35.
2.  Because of the extra tail in the rear with the F-35 it can cut corners better than the F-22.

1. Fuel

1. F-22 fuel

1. Uses a variety of Kerosene diesel fuel.
2. Has two external fuel tanks.

1. F-35 Fuel

1. Also uses a variety of Kerosene diesel fuel.
2. Only has one external fuel tank/

1. Comparing fuel.

1.The F-22 can store more fuel than the F-35.

2. F-35’s fuel tanks are more open than the F-22.

1. Conclusion

The F-22 and F-35 share many similarities but have some differences in their engine type, aerodynamics, and their fuel.
