Evolution of F-15 Eagle (F-15A to F-15 Advanced Eagle) 

Technically the STOL/MTD is the same physical aircraft, but the MTD is a revised design change on the STOL. The STOL was a testbed for a military procurement proposal for F-15 STOL, and it would have differed somewhat from the STOL demonstrator (finding a new place for the gun, refining it as an ultra-maneuverable combat aircraft, etc.). The full proposal was fairly different from the test aircraft. For example, it would not have used F-18 rear horizontal stabilizers for canards, like the test plane. It would have been a gen 4.5+ When that proposal was "ghosted" from the public eye, to prevent any 'threat' to the ATF program (YF-23 & YF-22) in the eyes of congressmen who approve budgets, NASA picked up the testbed aircraft and reconfigured it as the MTD, a research platform for supermaneuverability (much like the X-31).

If you belief the flight control laws in DCS, Growling Sidewinder used the super maneuvering AFTI Eagle to actually turn inside a Raptor and knock it down. It was a really fun dogfight to watch, try looking it up.

They’re describing operational aircraft, not one offs, no?

Hey message me my mom was also a member the 318th and she was part of the team that won the huge trophy award didn't allow them to use the starburst on the F15

There was an SR-71 Blackbird variant called the YF-12. It carried missles to shoot stuff down. Weaponized SR-71s is an awesome idea.

@@dosidicusgigas1376 Yep - the YF-12 had been proposed as a possible replacement for the F-106 Delta Dart. IF the YF-12 would of been used in active duty - it would of only had Missiles and maybe bombs. It wouldn't be able to have machine guns due to the fact that the plane was faster then bullets.

Would you happen to know any significant difference between the A and C model of the eagle?

@@armyboy0579 Nah, he was a fictional aircraft in Armada whose jet engines could double as cannons. You're thinking of Thundercracker from Transformers Cybertron/Galaxy Force.

Will the Indonesians be able to afford to keep them airworthy? They weren't able to do so with their Sukhois.

@@adamwsaxe we have aircraft industries the IPTN , IPTN produce many aircrafts , exports many aircrafts , also Uncle Sam will train us under purchase agreement , and for your information IPTN has managed to upgrade F16's

Doesn’t need wings to fly and has the highest kill/loss ratio of any fighter currently in service. This is the result of making the US scared shitless 😂

It's the craziest feeling man. My dad would take me onto the flight lines to see these bad boys in person up close. The roaring engines is unlike nothing, even at idle you feel it in your chest. My favorite sound is the howl on startup.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3bpRfx0DT2g.html&ab_channel=Al%27sAutoandAppliance This is a good idea of how close I was able to sit next to a running F15

they cut production of the F 22 way down from Over 600 Planned air craft to Less than 200 which was a big stupid huge Mistake by the congress and pentagon. ...

That goes to show you just how far ahead the air force of US is against everyone else, the closest is the J20, and just knowing that US has had 6 decades of building stealth vs less then 2 decades even though they stole some of it's schematics puts Chinese weapons at a disadvantage from not being built from the bottom up. Look at the engines, even the new one is still 2 generations behind the f35.

The age of dog fighting is practically dead like they thought it would be in a 1970s. I want to be surprised if the New logic is to turn the F-15 2040 into an F-4 airborne bomb truck of AAMRAM missiles

SR-71 replaced the U-2, but then they brought the Lady back when they retired the -71. Sometimes amazing scientific and engineering creations are just too expensive for those holding the purse strings.

F22 replacement is NGAD.

thrust vectoring this thrust vectoring that

They seem to have stuck with operational variants. The thrust vectoring Eagle was amazing. Assuming the control laws in DCS are true, and Growling Sidewinder knows his shat, that Eagle was the only aircraft to turn inside the Raptor and knock it down. It was a great dogfight to watch, you should look it up - fun stuff, and the first time I saw an F-22 get out turned.

@@ronjon7942 Yeah. Especially in the second dogfight when GS used the of the F-15 STOL/MTD with the centerline 20mm gun pod.

F-15S/MTD, you mean.

Domestically built for domestically used weapons and domestically used equipment. Likewise Mitsubishi build their domestic version of an F-16 F-2 intended for ASW and ACM

@@armyboy0579 ye but F2 is better ngl

Like do you mean the sukhois can’t beat the eagle in a dogfight? Or in a bvr engagement in which case it’s actually a good fight

@@carlodevita3395 all-round performances my friend. You will hardly get a plane that beats its arch rival in every circumstances, and that's why I stated "overall performance of the F15". Imagine, you and I have 10 fights. You beat me 8 times, but I only beat you once, and we draw in 1. Now who is the better fighter overall by a large margin?

The F-15 has superior: - payload - reliability - range (particularly the E, and now EX) - radar - airframe durability - and it's extremely maneuverable vs. other 4th gen aircraft, even with a heavy payload on it The Sukhoi's do have some advantages too though. Frankly the Su-27 doesn't have any advantages over the F-15. But the Su-35 derivative, over time, grew into a really good plane. Looking specifically at the Su-35S (circa 2012 or 2013): - higher thrust:weight ratio - thrust vectoring for turn rate at very low speed - price This would put a late model (emphasis on "late model") Sukhoi in a favorable position in an old-school "gun-sight" dogfight. With more energy recovery, and greater maneuverability when dipping into very slow speed (through TV), a sukhoi 35 made in the last decade would have an advantage, though not enough of an advantage to erase pilot skill as the dominant factor. The US didn't really pursue "4.5 gen" fighter tech, instead focusing entirely on 5th gen. Until the F-18E/F anyway, and eventually the F-15X and EX. Although the super hornet and F-1 5EX don't really focus on super-maneuverability. The only problem with stealing the maneuverability trophy, is that modern missile tech is really deconstructing how dogfights work. And frankly, the Russian short range IR-guided missile (in the 90's) helped progress that trend. It had an ultra-wide angle seeker, which greatly reduced the need to paint the target with the nose of your aircraft. Around the same time, the US was working out how they would get missiles which are inside an internal weapons bay (on the F-22) to lock onto targets, basically giving missiles a synthetic sense of space, and a telemetry-based sense of their guidance & target. The result of these technological changes to missile tech really resulted in game changing ordinance & fire control tech. And as a result, "dogfighting maneuverability" became a lot less meaningful. The culmination of which is in the F-35, blending EOTS & distrubuted sensors for a 360 degree picture of the air space, HMDS (helmet mounted display system), HOBS (high off bore sight) missile targeting, and networking tech... which means if you can see an F-35 (from 'any' angle) then you've been targetable by the F-35 for quite some time. Frankly stealth is a secondary feature for the Lightning II. Now air combat maneuverability is mostly about missile evasion. Unless you run out of missiles and actually have to use the gun, but that's like an infantryman running out of bullets and having to use his knife... aka "sub-optimal" when other people on the battlefield still have bullets.

@@kathrynck thank you my friend for the information.👏👏👍👍

The Eurofighter, Rafale, and some of the Chinese upgraded sukhois could give it trouble. Basically anything with an AESA radar

@@zacklewis342 Okay, but it was stupid of "her" to ignore the Israeli air dominance of Lebanon even if the majority of the kills were by A/B models. Why? Because the majority of all F-15 kills were achieved during that period!

F15 strike eagle will beat the su35 in a match most of the time simply because it has much better sensors.

@@virginccyy7645 are you sure about that? because with its irst at low level a su35 doesnt even need to turn on its radar and make it do sneak attacks which eagle cant see coming because irst gives no emission and is a passive sensor. as far as EW is concerned, russians are the second best with the swedes being the best. as for networking, a flanker can share data to other jets and guide the other jet's missile if needed

We did. It was a NASA testbed called the STOL/MTD. Best guess is that the USAF didn't want it.

The new engine nozzles sure look like vectoring is present…probably not, I’ve been wondering about them though. Just 5% would make this thing unreal

why would you need to vector thrust? BVR is the future, enemy jets will be dead before they get in range

That would be unnecessary giving the current rules of engagement and beyond visual range technology. It's basically become the F4 version of an airborne bomb truck loading with air-to-air missiles rather than air to ground bombs.

@@armyboy0579 Bingo. If enemy aircraft get into dogfight range that’s already several failures: 1) failure to suppress enemy air bases with cruise missiles/drone and stealth strikes. 2) failure of Airborne early warning 3) failure of Radar guided air-air missiles

Years?? No way - decades for NGAD.

Im trying to do modelkits if anyone asking why, but i dont have the knowledge on this plane beside from limited kits choice

F-15J has both vertical fins identical. F-15A/C/E has different vertical fins. Look at the top of them. On the left fin there is Magnavox AM/ALQ-128 antenna.

Older A models still had the “Turkey feathers” on the exhaust nozzles before they were removed. The EX with its new engines has them still on the engines, but it’s also a different engine

They refer to, how is a aircraft capable of performing, aerobatic manouvers, and then still capable of shooting down an enemy fighter

That refers to how an aircraft can perform actions like turning , moving around to allow it get an advantage over it's adversaries. The F-16 and F-18 are very maneuverable plane's maybe even more so then the F-15's.

It would require significant software modifications. The US has not assigned Japan a nuclear mission like we have Germany or Belgium or the Netherlands. And Japan doesn't want it! If the Japanese went rogue, of course, they could eventually find out how to modify their aircraft to carry nukes. Though those nukes would likely be of Japanese design.

hold your horses pixy, it was on a training exercise not an actual mission.

@@armyboy0579 Does not matter if it was a training flight or not it landed with just ONE WING. Plus as he said the jet was repaired and put back in to service.

Frankly the video which documents this rather sensationalizes the event, and claims that the McD-D engineers couldn't believe it. But that's not really true. It's 'designed' to be able to fly on one wing. As well as with various other parts of the plane missing. The engines are close together to allow it to operate efficiently on one engine (with an armored plate between them to prevent damage propagation, the vertical stabilizers are fully vertical so that there's no strangely angled control behavior if one of them is blown off the plane, etc.

@@kathrynck No, it wasn't designed to fly with one wing. No aircraft was. It was amazing enough that the VP for the F-15 at McDonnell Douglas had a model of the "wingless" aircraft on his desk, given to him by a grateful Israeli Air Force.

@@gitpicker The engine proximity and completely vertical tails, redundancy of hydraulics, self-sealing fuel tanks, etc. Were all designed to take severe combat damage. That the engines were put very close together was actually a dual challenge, because it did allow for better handling if one of the wings and same side engine was lost (more central thrust), but it required armoring between the engines to prevent one engine from taking out the other. The straight-up parallel vertical stabilizers are not ideal for super sonic flight, but offer the most normalized handling of one of them is shot off. We didn't exactly build a test plane with one wing, that would be reckless. And it wasn't the primary reason for using a lifting-body. But it WAS looked at in wind tunnel tests. With one engine lit, the fuselage and same-side wing can do a pretty good job of countering each other in yaw forces, requiring an only slightly side-goggled flight path. The F-15 isn't as armored as the A-10 or F-4, but it had extreme redundancy and deep absorbtion of battle damage in it's design. That someone was able to LAND the plane in that condition though, is what was surprising, and amazingly skilled.

No losses in AIR TO AIR combat. It has been shot down with SAM's.

@@williambyrnes4198 hell of a statistic, thanks for the reply.

F-15 ACTIVE was never in a competition that would result in production to begin with, and the JSF program only became incredibly expensive midway through the F-35's development due to political interference and poor oversight from the military. Besides, the F-15 ACTIVE would only replace other F-15s, which were already being replaced by the far superior F-22.
