The F-15 Eagle is a twin-engine, all-weather tactical fighter designed by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) for air superiority missions. Introduced in the 1970s, it remains one of the most successful modern fighters, boasting an exceptional combat record with over 100 victories and no losses in aerial combat. Powered by two Pratt & Whitney F100 engines, the F-15 can reach speeds exceeding Mach 2.5 and operate at altitudes above 65,000 feet. Its advanced radar, powerful avionics, and versatile weapon systems allow it to engage multiple targets at long or short range. The aircraft's high thrust-to-weight ratio and large wing area provide superior maneuverability, making it a dominant force in the skies. The Eagle continues to serve in U.S. and allied air forces worldwide.
