The F-22 Acquisition Program: Consequences for the US Air Force's Fighter Fleet

by Lt Col Christopher J. Niemi, USAF

 

This article, which examines the F-22 program from a historical perspective, seeks to answer two questions. First, given the unprecedented age of today's fighter fleet, why did the Air Force acquire just 187 F-22s? Second, how could alternative decisions during F-22 development have enabled the service to acquire larger numbers of these aircraft? In consideration of this historical analysis, the article then assesses the Air Force's current efforts to transition to a fleet comprised entirely of fifth-generation fighters.
