F-22 Flight Controls: Easier than a Cessna?

How does an F-22 Raptor fly? What makes its radar signature so minimal? What does it have in common with more relatable aircraft types?

A U.S. Air Force test pilot visited MIT and gave a unique lecture on the topic. He discusses flying sailplanes, zeppelins, fighters, and helicopters in this guest lecture. This lecture is a part of MIT 16.687 OpenCourseWare, which gives a glimpse into the ground school MIT pilots experience and is a great resource for all aspiring and current pilots.
