I like the look of F22 better than F35. But who will win in a head-to-head combat?

F22 hands down. F35 is a multirole fighter, which requires certain compromises. F22 is the next generation air superiority and stealth fighter.
Did the Navy state any reason why they went to a single engine plane for their next generation? Just curious since I haven't read anything about the JSF.

I am surprised the Navy is going with a single jet engine plane. They usually require more robustness being at sea (if one engine goes they can nurse it back to the carrier without ditching). I know every jet fighter/bomber they used had dual jet engines up until now.

The Eurofighter is both agile and sophisticated, but is still difficult to compare to the F/A-22 Raptor. They are different kinds of airplanes to start with; it's like asking us to compare a NASCAR car with a Formula 1 car. They are both exciting in different ways, but they are designed for different levels of performance.
In 2005, a trainer Eurofighter T1 was reported to have had a chance encounter the previous year with two U.S. Air Force F-15Es over the Lake District in the north of England. The encounter became a mock dogfight with the Eurofighter allegedly emerging victorious
