questerymj Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Hello all, I have a question about F-22 raptor: http://komica7.dreamhosters.com/17/src/1309773731988.jpg http://komica7.dreamhosters.com/17/src/1309773673268.jpg Does any one know what is the small pod under the Raptor fuselage? And it's official name? I heard it is a radio signal emitter to help tower/AWACS to find out their location, but didn't find any data about it.
GGTharos Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 It's called a 'nutsack' unofficially. It is a radar reflector which gives the F-22 a large RCS. It is not an emitter, AFAIK.

GGTharos Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 There is no F-22B. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
