I'd like to see JSFs vs. Raptors. That could be a cool fight. While the F-22 has a lower RCS, thrust vectoring, and supercruise, the JSF has an amazing cockpit that can correlate an incredible amount of data, plus similar generation technology.

I was fortunate to have a go on a JSF flight sim a few years ago. Lots of displays, helmet information system, cameras all around the aircraft etc., it then made me realise you don't need pilots anymore because the amount of information coming in could easily be transmitted to a guy on the ground flying the aircraft. Cool set up though. They had three huge screens infront & either side of the simulator cockpit!

Thoughts?

I would say an equal comparison is that it would be what the F16 is to the F15. Both jets are very veristile and with good tactics very deadly.

I will be curious if the JSF is going to fufill the multiple roles that the different variations of the F16 does today. (IE the F16CJ, CG) Will there be a JSF varient (of any of the three current varients) that does anti-air suppression?

The biggest thing is bot the JSF and raptor are "next-gen" technoligy. When the F15 was designed they took all the good things pilots liked/needed and built a jet around them. The same has happened with these two new A/C.
