McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle Air-Superiority Fighter Family
The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle is a twin-engine fighter family developed from the United States Air Force's post-Vietnam air-superiority requirement. The F-15A/B and later C/D, E Strike Eagle, international, and advanced F-15EX variants share a core design whose combination of speed, climb, range, and maneuverability made the Eagle one of the defining combat-aircraft families of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
