F-15 Eagle

 F-15 Eagle Dimensions. Engine. The weight. story. Range of flight

Designed for action on land and sea targets, located at a considerable distance, as well as to gain air superiority, tracking and interception. December 1969 g. after three years of development of promising fighter F-X firm "McDonnell Douglas" has been selected as the main contractor and received its first order to produce single-seater F-15A and double training TF-15A (the latest F-15B) 26 June 1972 g. the first prototype F-15A was rolled out of the gate assembly shop in g. St. Louis, and its first flight took place 27 July 1972 g. Double prototype first flew on 7 July 1973 g.

One of the main differences between F-15A from the third generation fighters performing high specific thrust-weight ratio and low takeoff weight, making it one of the most maneuverable supersonic fighters of the 1970s. F-15 fighter is one of the US Air Force's most reliable aircraft (average coefficient of accident 3,9 on 10000 flight hours). F-15A is built on the classical scheme, with the tapered wing vysokoraspolozhennym, two-keel fins and two motors in the rear fuselage. The aircraft is equipped with radar AN / APG-63, AN/ASN-109, ILS, TACAN radio navigation system, onboard computer, EW system.

At five suspension angles can be set SD AIM-7 "Sparrow". AIM-9 «Сайдуиндер», AIM-120 AMRAAM total weight up 7300 kg. On the right is the wing influx of six-barreled gun M61A1 "Vulcan" (caliber 20 mm, ʙoezapas 940 rounds). In the middle 1979 g. It began mass construction of improved modifications single fighter F-15C and its counterpart double. New models have increased fuel in internal tanks, the latest avionics and conformal container, wherein the accommodated fuel or reconnaissance equipment.

The aircraft F-15E «Strike Eagle" was developed jointly by "McDonnell Douglas" and "Hughes". The prototype, converted from F-15B. It made its first flight in August 1981 city. and the newly-built F-15E flew in 1986 g. This two-seat fighter designed for long-range interceptions in all weather conditions and maintain neighbor maneuverable fight. The duration of the flight without refueling more 5 hours.

F-15E differs redesigned control system, new multi-purpose electron beam indicators flight-navigation system, advanced fire control system, wide data presence indicator on the windshield, Radar AN / APG-70 synthesized aperture, as well as the ability to carry LANTIRN infrared system for night sighting and navigation at low altitude. The gondola under the fuselage F-15E is available FLIR infrared system for the front hemisphere and surveillance radars for the flight of the mode of rounding terrain.

Maximum arms weight of F-15E 11100 kg, combat radius - 1270 km, maximum speed - more 2 M. Series production is currently ongoing, and the US Air Force plans to increase their number to about 1500 aircraft. F-15 is in service with the US Air Force. Israel (F-15A.B), Saudi Arabia (F-15C.D) and Japan.
The first combat engagement with the F-15 was 27 June 1979 g. over southern Lebanon, when 6 Israeli F-15A aircraft and 2 "Kfir" fighter entered into a dogfight with 8 Syrian MiG-21. According to Israeli data, in battle were killed 6 Syrian fighter. The first F-15A aircraft lost in combat in southern Lebanon in April 1981 g. F-15C was one of the "stars" of the Gulf War (1991 city). 120 this type of aircraft flew more than 5900 departures at the average readiness factor 94%. Fighters F-15C shot down 37 of 39 aircraft, Iraq lost in air combat.
