Well right now, the most expensive and high-tech plane is the F-22. The F-22 costs $339 million dollars, but it doesn't have VTOL capabilities because it's so bulky. It makes up for that in stealth.

The F-35 Lightning II costs about 24 million, and has VTOL capabilities, but no stealth. Pretty much, it's just a new way to replace F-18s when they chunk them out of the Navy.

Right now, the F-22 Raptor and the Su-35 Flanker are considered to be the most advanced aircraft in the world. In my opinion though, the F-22 (because of its stealth) is the most advanced aircraft in the world.

The stealth does add alot of its superiority. No plane has ever been that small to not be detected by radar. The only way to do that is with jammers, but the F-22 Raptor doesn't have any radar jammers or wave disrupters. But you are right about the cockpit, no other plane has that advanced of a computer inside its own cockpit, not even the biggest ones. The "other" thing you're talking about may be the fact that it can launch missiles going supersonic...

The missile factor is epic.
