The tail of the F-160 lacks horizontal stabilizers in favor of a delta wing with outer ailerons and inner elevators. Green lights found on the sides of the aircraft light up only when the plane is not in stealth mode. The F-160 features a forward-pivot canopy providing access for the pilot, and an hexagonal sighting device below the nose. The 'Glitch'd' livery is based on the Sukhoi Su-57 Felon.
The plane is provided with similar equipment to the F-35 Lightning II, such as the AN/AAQ-40 EOTS (Electro-Optical Target System) below the nose, radar reflectors on the wings, and the GAU-22/A 4-barrel gatling guns. Some design elements found on the Raiju may have been inspired by several design submissions for the JSF and ATF programs. Mated to this are wings and a Pelikan tail design reminiscent of the Sukhoi Su-75 Checkmate and the Northrop YF-23. Most of the aircraft, that being the nose, cockpit, intakes, and fuselage, is based on the Lockheed-Martin F-35A Lightning II with the STOVL LiftSystem from the F-35B. The design of the F-160 Raiju is reminiscent of stealth fighters from the Joint Strike Fighter and Advanced Tactical Fighter programs of the USAF.
