You wouldn't believe how much JP8 gets used in that 12 minute demo...

The Raptor holds ~21,000 lbs of fuel so I'm guessing somewhere between 1 and 20,000

Watch the stabilizers on the tail moving in opposite directions during some of the maneuvers.

Way cool.

It boggles my tiny mind to imagine that the F22 combines that kind of slow speed maneuverability, super cruise, computerized big picture with BVR engagement capabilities.  

This bad boy is going to be the bully on the block for a long long time.

Now I know why that video was so familiar, I posted it about 6 months ago.

Internally, yes it does.

Internal fuel capacity is 3082 gallons or close to 20650 lb.

The F-35A holds about 18,000 , the F-15B 13,000 an the F-36C 19,000. They were all given large internal fuel capacities to reduce the need for external carriage.
