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

[@marcweeks9178]

My son is an avionics technician at Seymour Johnson AFB. His assigned jet is the F-15E Strike Eagle. While I don't get to see him as much as I'd want, since he lives and works on the other side of the US from me, videos such as these increase my knowledge of what he's working on, so I can understand a little of what he's saying. Thanks for the video.

[@itsjustme8947]

I see many current and former technicians in the comments. As a former USAF pilot (O-8 ret.), who flew the C & E models for 18 years, I'd like to extend my thanks to all of you fine men and women who kept this wonderful bird airworthy and deadly. There are many ground pounders who also owe you a thanks for the many CAS missions we flew in OIF & OEF. Here's to another 50 years of service for the Eagle!

My grandfather worked for Northrop (before they merged with Grumman) repairing aircraft (including F-15 fighters and B-2 bombers, not kidding). Held that ONE job for about 40 years, retiring just before I was born when he got sick from being exposed to certain chemicals for so long. He never even finished elementary school, yet worked a job for so long and provided EVERYTHING our family has.

[@Legion-xq8eo]

Northrop was the king of the flying wing, Grumman was the king of the naval aviators….glad to see them combine instead of being swallowed up by Boeing or Lockheed like they did with so many other great aviantion companies. Also shipyards, missle and defense companies, jet engine and avionics manufacturers have been gobbled up by the same few companies or corporations now I guess!!

Such a beautiful plane, so easy on the eyes. Great job on this video, it's nice to get a perspective of all the operational variants.

[@farpointgamingdirect]

You missed the YF-15A "Streak Eagle"; "Streak Eagle" is an early preproduction aircraft. Differences in internal structure and systems operation made it too costly to return to operational service. It was delivered to the USAF museum in December 1980 after it was no longer useful as a flight test vehicle.

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).

One F15 got hit with R40 from a Mig25. Although it landed, but due to extensive damage, it got erased from inventory. Based on air to air kill regulations, it is a KILL!!! Moreover, one F15c also shot down under uncertain circumstances(which I would not be shocked if there was another R40 or Magic550, at work!!!). Overall, F15 pilots are very dubious when it comes to their record! The king of jet era is F14, with about 200 kills(164 confirmed in a book, investigated and written by a guy from Holland I believe as well as 4 American kills at least), and only 3 shot downs(2 by Mirage f1s, one with a Mig 23 Flagger the last F14 loss, was the most devastating loss for Persian Cats, and happend when Iranian radar personal failed to alert the F14 about 6oclock threat from a Mig23. The Mig23 ended the story by shooting a fox2. The pilot was the highest rank in F14 squadrons mission planning. It was soon after that 2 F14s got shot down in 2 sequence days. Although after that they collected themselves, but nevertheless they had lost 3 F14's in less than a year!

[@michaelwong4303]

@@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?

[@kathrynck]

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.

The F-15EX is such an advancement over the legacy F-15, that it can be considered to be a new fighter that shares most of its airframe with the legacy Eagle. The upgraded avionics and in particular its new fly-by-wire flight control system added THAT much additional capability and performance. Its maneuvering capability is spookily similar to the F-22 and it can now carry up to 12 AMRAAMs, more than anything else flying. And more.

Based on how well the F-15EX is turns out. Though many in the USAF think it might be simpler just to buy more F-15EX's and just outright replace the F-15C's. During the time it will take the NGAD to be picked, tested and built. Though the USAF just announced that it wants prototype submission for 3 companies. The recently flow NGAD was just a proof of concept and not meant as prototype or production aircraft of any type. So even if the NGAD is eventually fielded on mass it will still take years to achieve and the USAF would rather have F-15EX missile and bomb trucks that could work with its upgraded F-22's and upgrade F-35's.

Wrong information. F-14 was already more maneuverable than F-15 with its maneuvering flaps and slats that the Eagle did not especially at slower speeds and high AoA. You could do Pirouette turns in the F-14, which were not possible in the F-15. All of the Eagle drivers tried to take the fight into very high altitude in thin air to negate the lift advantage F-14 had. The F-14A did not have the thrust to weight that the F-15A had, but with the F-14 B/D using GE-F110 engines, it was able to achieve a greater than 1:1 thrust to weight in lighter configurations. That was never the reason why Sea Eagle was rejected. With all of the strengthening to take carrier abuse and sea salt and long range radar, it was going to be heavier and more expensive than the F-14, which is why it was rejected.

@@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.

[@PlatinumPaladin]

A little galling that the F-22 fleet is now going to be supported and possibly supplanted by the very craft it was meant to replace. Whoever named it the Eagle must have been pretty confident the aircraft was going to be something special. Or I wonder if whether the F-15s success, longevity and evolution is because it's named after America's national bird. Can you imagine the headlines and uproar when they try to retire this thing? They'll have to make a variant capable of interplanetary combat; the Star Eagle.

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.

[@armyboy0579]

A carrier version of the eagle would be asinine. Though costly the F-15 boasted high maneuverability and high speed to supplement the Air force's requirement to what they assumed The MIG-25 Foxbat as a fighter rather than a high speed high altitude interceptor. Meanwhile the Navy was desperately looking for a long range carrier born fleet defender. And we're not satisfied with the F-111B which was a air force fighter bomber grossly exceeding cost production and weight limits. Which resulted to his cancellation in favor of the F-14 Tomcat but still being given handy down parts from the F-111B from the radar system, long range AIM-54 Phoenix missiles, poorly designed engines, invariable geometry wing concept, even then the Tomcat was very costly and heavy it's carrier task. Trying to navelize what is an Air Force Air superiority fighter into a naval interceptor lacking the radar and missile capabilities needed for the Navy to begin with, even the requirements to have a stronger landing gear and arresting her portable wings for storage and to be made to resist corrosion in a rough sea environment. Would have made a equal or subpar aircraft to the already existing F-14.

No mention on the F-15 the USAF didn't want accepted into service- F-15 ACTIVE? Granted it was used as "Tech demonstrator and and research aircraft", but holy moly was it excellent. The thing easily rivaled the Flankers of all kinds, but alas! It was not expensive enough to waste tax payer dollars, so they went with the overly expensive thus shitty F-35.

[@dumdumbinks274]

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.
