About the McDonnell Douglas F-15C Eagle
At one time during the missile boom years, the U.S. Air Force believed
future air battles could be decided by air-to-air missiles rather than
guns in the traditional dog-fighting manner. The need for air
superiority weapons was relearned during the Vietnam Conflict and led to
an Air Force requirement for an all-weather, single-seat, twin-engined
fighter. This aircraft was to optimize counter-air operations.
The U.S. Air Force requested several manufacturers to study and develop
prototypes during the late 1960 s under the FX program (Fighter
Experimental). McDonnell Douglas was awarded a contract to develop the
F-15 Eagle jet fighter in December 1969. The Eagles advanced
aerodynamic design greatly reduced drag at both the low and high lift
configurations, and achieved superior maneuverability during varying flight conditions.
Making its maiden flight in July 1972, it was deployed in November 1974
as the F-15A Eagle, and had been in active service since then. It is
powered by two Pratt & Whitney F100 afterburning turbofan engines
developed exclusively for the for the F-15, and is capable of speeds in
the Mach 2.5 range. The F-15 can carry a heavy load of devastating
weapons, including the internally mounted 20 mm M61A-1 Vulcan cannon,
with 940 rounds of ammo, the AIM-7 Sparrow radar guided missile and AIM9
Sidewinder short range air-to-air missile. In 1979 an upgraded version
of the Eagle was introduced as the F-15C. One notable change was the
increase in fuel capacity, but even more fuel was made possible by the
conformal fuel tanks, which snuggle between the wings and up against the
jet inlet ramps. This increase in fuel capacity enables the Eagle to
expand long range operations, such as escorting AWACS and strike
aircraft to their targets. The Landing gear has been reinforced to
accept the extra fuel
