  1. It will be much cheaper because it will use off the shelf mature technology, cutting development costs. It will be open architecture, meaning new tech can be rapidly prototypes and installed...gone are the days of being held hostage to defense contractors by proprietary systems. Digital engineering cuts down the time and cost of development by massive margins. The USAF strategy is to buy small numbers of incremental aircraft. For example they may buy 100 F-100's and 5 years later buy 100 F-101's and 5 years later buy 100 F-102's. etc. Gone are the days of having a plane in service for 40 years. Since they will be buying rapidly developed aircraft every few years they will only have to build aircraft with a 2000 flight hour life span or less. Not 6000 or more like they are build now. So you will get much lighter aircraft that are cheaper to build.

  2.    LOL The F-22 is functionally obsolete. It's avionics were designed in the 1980's. Your Iphone has more computing power than the F-22's computers. Hate to break it to you, it flew and as a hint it has optical stealth technology.....it will be nearly impossible to spot with the naked eye as well as radar.
