Description

The McDonnell-Douglas F-15 is an all-weather single-seat American fighter developed with the specific goal to gain and maintain air superiority. The F-15 Eagle was designed in the ‘70s to provide the U.S. Air Force with a modern and extremely high performance advanced fighter. The F-15C represents the more modern version and it is nowadays largely used by the U.S. Air Force and National Guard, and by the Air Forces of several other countries including Japan, Israel and Saudi Arabia. The F-15 took part in the Gulf War in 1991. It has been the most effective fighter, with an impressively high number of enemy planes shot down. Armed with a 20mm M61 gun, it can use a wide variety of air-to-air missiles. Thanks to the two powerful Pratt & Whitney F-100 turbofan engines, the Eagle is able to reach a maximum speed of Mach 2.5.
