Gen 5 Fighter Jets
A fifth-generation jet fighter is a fighter aircraft classification used in the United States and elsewhere encompassing the most advancedjet fighter generation as of 2015. Fifth-generation aircraft are designed to incorporate numerous technological advances over the fourth-generation jet fighter. The exact characteristics of fifth-generation jet fighters are controversial and vague, with Lockheed Martin defining them as having all-aspect stealth even when armed, low probability of intercept radar (LPIR), high-performance airframes, advancedavionics features, and highly integrated computer systems capable of networking with other elements within the battlespace for situation awareness. The only currently combat-ready fifth-generation fighter is the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor, which entered service with theUnited States Air Force in 2005. The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, Sukhoi T-50, Chengdu J-20 and Shenyang J-31 are currently under various stages of testing and development.
