Advanced Tactical Fighter

The Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) was a development program by the U.S. Air Force in the 1980s aimed at creating a next-generation fighter jet. It focused on combining superior speed, agility, stealth, and advanced avionics to dominate modern aerial combat. The most famous result of this program is the F-22 Raptor, which remains one of the world’s most advanced fighters. The ATF represented a leap forward in technology, emphasizing low observability and multi-role capabilities, ensuring air superiority against emerging threats.
