The [[Lockheed Martin X-44 MANTA|X-44 MANTA]], or ''multi-axis, no-tail aircraft'', was a planned experimental aircraft based on the F-22 with enhanced thrust vectoring controls and no aerodynamic surface backup.<ref name=nasa_monogr>Jenkins, Dennis R., Tony Landis and Jay Miller.

In August 2018, Lockheed Martin proposed an F-22 derivative to the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) for its 5th/6th generation [[Mitsubishi F-X|F-X]] program. The design, which was later also proposed to the USAF, would combine a modified F-22 airframe with enlarged wings to increase fuel capacity and combat radius to {{convert|2200|km|nmi|order=flip|abbr=on}} as well as the avionics and improved stealth coatings of the [[Lockheed_Martin_F-35_Lightning_II|F-35]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Tajima |first=Yukio |url=https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Lockheed-offers-Japan-majority-of-work-in-plan-for-new-fighter-jet |title=Lockheed offers Japan majority of work in plan for new fighter jet |work=Nikkei Asia |date=22 August 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.defenseone.com/business/2018/08/lockheed-pitching-f-22f-35-hybrid-us-air-force/150943/?oref=d-channelriver|title=Lockheed Pitching F-22/F-35 Hybrid to U.S. Air Force|publisher=Defense One|date=30 August 2018|access-date=3 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180903114905/https://www.defenseone.com/business/2018/08/lockheed-pitching-f-22f-35-hybrid-us-air-force/150943/?oref=d-channelriver|archive-date=3 September 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> The proposal was ultimately not considered by the USAF or JASDF due to cost as well as existing export restrictions and industrial workshare concerns.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.defensenews.com/digital-show-dailies/air-force-association/2018/09/12/air-force-not-considering-new-f-15-or-hybrid-f-22f-35-top-civilian-says/|title=Air Force not considering new F-15 or hybrid F-22/F-35, top civilian says|publisher=DefenseNews|date=12 September 2018|access-date=21 February 2019|archive-date=13 March 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230313155357/https://www.defensenews.com/digital-show-dailies/air-force-association/2018/09/12/air-force-not-considering-new-f-15-or-hybrid-f-22f-35-top-civilian-says/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20181004/p2a/00m/0na/001000c |title=Defense Ministry to develop own fighter jet to succeed F-2, may seek int'l project |newspaper=Mainichi Shimbun |date=4 October 2018 |access-date=28 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190425170901/https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20181004/p2a/00m/0na/001000c |archive-date=25 April 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref>
