16. Incidents 2
Though few, the F-22 accidents have been fatal. In the years 2009 an F-22 was involved in an accident during takeoff which claimed life of the pilot. There were no structural malfunction and therefore the pilot is thought to have lost consciousness.
Later in the next year there was another accident that culminated to loss of a pilot. In this incidence there was a structural malfunction, where the bleeding air system had broken due to engine overheating. In the year 2012 another Raptor was involved in a crash but fortunately the pilot ejected safely.
