F-22 is operational - no other 5GF is. That automatically makes it the No.1 plane that is operational today.
But I'm talking about the time FGFA actually gets operational - it will most certainly surpass all currently flying US stealth fighters.
Actually bad misconception.
Here's why
RCS
F22 - .0001MS (Marble/pellet)
PAKFA/FGFA - .01 (cricket ball)
Supercruise -
F22 - 1.82 mach
PAKFA/FGFA - 1.5 mach
TVC -
F22 - 20 deg deflection Pitch
PAKFA/FGFA - 15 deg Pitch , 8 yaw.
Yaw is not as important for maneuver as pitch is.
RADAR -
The F-22´s AN/APG-77 has about 2000 -2200 receive modules and its an low observable AESA radar, which is able to track a 1 square meter target at a range of 240 km, it is considered the most advanced fighter radar, with the highest detection range.
There are some sources stating it´s range to be up to 270-300 km against a 1 m² target.
120 deg coverage azimuth and elevated.
The PAK-FA´s radar has 1500 elements it tracks a 2.5 m² target at 400 km.
120 deg azimuth only on using elevation bars.
The PAK-FA has full 360 degree radar coverage because of two L- band radars on the wingtips and a small X-band radar on its tail.
The Raptor can do so as well, through the use of sensor fusion and highly advanced passive sensors to provide 360 degree coverage ALR 94. But only 1 radar so only coverage till 120 deg.
SPEED -
F22 2575 km/h+
PAKFA/FGFA 2100 km/h
CEILING -
F22 - 19812 m
PAKFA - 20000 m
INTERNAL PAYLOAD -
F22 - 8
PAKFA/FGFA -10
MAX G LOAD -
F22 - −3/+9g
PAKFA/FGFA - −3/+9g
WING LOAD (LOWER BETTER) -
F22 - 375 kg/m²
PAKFA - 330-470 kg/m

The following criteria boosts the Raptors agility:
Lower wing loading than the PAK-FA, but comparable thrust to weight
much bigger stabilizers
good aerodynamics
flight control surfaces on the F-22 are very large and give the F-22 the edge in the turn
2D larger Pitch deflection
The following criteria boosts the PAK-FAs agility:
good aerodynamics
3D TVC
Full moveable LERX
Full moveable vertical and horizontal stabilizers
