The F22 is called a 'fourth generation' aircraft while the others in your question are third generation fighters. (The F117 is a light bomber, FYI)
In other words - the F22 would have a decisive advantage over any current fighter or any fighter likely to see service in the next 10-15 years.

The Raptor is the new air superiority weapon system so it took all of the above as possible threats plus advanced versions. So it is pretty well the toughest kid on the block much like the f-15 f14 of old. There is a new F35 in the works that adds stealth to the aircraft and will be a joint services weapon system.

The raptor would be on them and gone before they knew what hit them.
F-117 is bomber not a fighter and it is on our side.
As far as I can tell F22 is now the top dog.

it would be bery close between the eurofighter and the raptor however the raptor would probably have the edge in performance
against the others the raptor would win hands down

none of the aircraft here have guns.... only missles.... so it comes down to meaponry..... but i think your asking about maneuverability.... raptor / typhoon = raptor, su-37 = close... but raptor, su-47 = :( su-47, nighthawk= hands down.... the raptor would be on it like white on rice

a lot of that would depend on the skill of the pilots.
