Extreme! F-22 Raptor High G-Force Takeoff

That is one over-rated aircraft.

The only thing that may make it superior is its avionics package, but until they get it into service and into combat, it's only hype. It has inferior weapons because they have to pack them into the fuselage. They didn't count on the fins of the AIM-120B being so large. Ooops.

AIM-120B may have a slightly reduced range, but AIM-120C can't manouver nearly as well.

They certainly learned a few things from it though - that it stalls in a way they can't get out of easily (almost not at all), and that the flight control systems are rubbish (they lost an airframe due to this). Apparently they've fitted it with a spin/stall recovery chute (model A F-16s had these too until they devised a novel recovery technique which involves idle thrust and a rocking motion in pitch until controlled forward flight is established).

Here it is crashing:

Here is an example of poor stall characteristics:

The video of a the computer breaking was a 1992 prototype they have had more than adequate time to fix that.
