WHY THE NAVY NEVER PUT THE F 22 ON AIRCRAFT CARRIERS. America’s F 22 Raptor is widely touted as the most capable air superiority fighter on the planet, thanks to a combination of stealth, speed, and maneuverability. The Congress pressed the U.S. Navy to consider fielding a slightly different iteration of the Raptor for duty aboard its Nimitz-class supercarriers back in the early ’90s.

In order to make the F 22 suitable for carrier duty, Lockheed Martin would have had to incorporate a number of significant changes to the F 22’s design. Alongside the usual changes one can expect out of a carrier-capable aircraft (things like a strengthened fuselage and added tail hook), a Navy variant of the F 22 would have needed to incorporate a variable sweep-wing design similar F 14
incorporating a sweep-wing design into a stealth aircraft may have been nearly impossible without sacrificing some degree of low observability.
