The United States Air Force F-22 Raptor, made by Lockheed Martin Skunk Works division, was the world's first fifth-generation fighter and also the first operational military aircraft to have thrust vectoring jet engines. It can also supercruise at speeds of Mach 1.8+ without using afterburners, allowing it to dictate engagement speeds and conserve fuel, a capability other jets cannot match while fully armed.
