- In-game description

The F-22A THE IDOLMASTER Haruka is the sixth aircraft of the THE iDOLM@STER aircraft line. It was released in March 26th, 2008 with PACK 06, costing 400 MSP to download. It is centered on iM@S main character Haruka Amami. The plane is decorated with a unique, light red paint scheme. A portrait of the idol is featured in the left side of the Raptor, while the iDOLM@STER logo is featured in the left wing. A white Mobius strip can be seen in the right tailfin. The smoke trails of all fired missiles have been given a fitting red color.

The Haruka F-22A Raptor is provided with a general statistics upgrade, receiving a minor increase in all fields except defense and air-to-air. The plane's acceleration has been greatly increased, although this comes at the cost of a dangerously fast loss of speed. The basic missile ammo count is lowered from 250 to 158, whereas all special weapons are given increeased payloads.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
In Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, the F-22A "THE IDOLM@STER" is the first downloadable skin of the F-22A Raptor. It was released in November 29, 2011 with DLC PACK 04, costing 4.99$ in the Playstation Store and 400 MSP in the Xbox Marketplace. It is one of the three iM@S aircraft released to date, alongside the F-15E -THE IDOLMASTER Chihaya- and the Su-33 Flanker -THE iDOLM@STER: Miki-. All aircraft can be downloaded in a single skin pack, worth 9.99$ or 800 MSP.

The Assault Horizon incarnation of the aircraft is very similar in appearance to its predecessor, except for the new updated plane artwork, showing Haruka wearing a more revealing outfit, as opposed to the dress seen in the last game. There are two versions of the Haruka F-22A: the basic version and a low visibility, "monotone" variant.
