Variations of the Raptor

YF-22 Prototype evaluated under the Advanced Tactical Fighter competition; 2 built
F-22A Production model with a slightly shorter fuselage, reduced wing sweep, and the cockpit shifted forward to improve visibilty; approximately 180 to be built
F/A-22A Designation given to the F-22A in 2002 to highlight the plane's air-to-ground combat capabilities, but dropped upon service entry in 2005 when the design was again called the F-22A
F-22B Proposed two-seat combat-capable trainer; cancelled
F-22E Lockheed proposal for an upgraded version based on the F-22A but with improved ground attack capability
F-22N Proposed navalized variant with variable-sweep wings for operation from US Navy aircraft carriers; not developed
F/A-22X Proposed advanced variant that would add a synthetic aperture radar, moving target indicator, and additional ground attack capability
FB-22 Lockheed concept for a long-range high-altitude bomber based on the F-22; design would eliminate all tail surfaces, incorporate a new delta wing with increased fuel capacity, and employ a longer fuselage with room for stretched weapons bays carrying two AIM-120 missiles and up to 24 small diameter bombs; the Air Force has indicated that it will not order the design
