- Video Description: The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle is an American twin-engine, all-weather tactical fighter aircraft designed by McDonnell Douglas which is now part of Boeing. It is among the most successful modern fighters, with over 100 victories and no losses in aerial combat. The main user of this fighter is the United States air forces. It has also been exported to many countries. There are many variants of the F-15 Eagle and this video presents the evolution of the F-15 Eagle.
The F-15 Eagle Variants include the following:-
1 F-15A- first flight in 1972
2 F-15B- first flight in 1973
3 F-15C- first flight in 1978
4 F-15D- first flight in 1979
5 F-15J- first flight in 1981
6 F-15DJ- first flight in 1981
7 F-15N Sea Eagle- Proposed in early 1970s
8 F-15E Strike Eagle- first flight in 1986
9 F-15SE Silent Eagle- first flight in 2010
10 F15 EX- first flight in 2021
11 F-15 Advanced Eagle/ F-15 2040C - Proposed aircraft

I see many current and former technicians in the comments. As a former USAF pilot (O-8 ret.), who flew the C & E models for 18 years, I'd like to extend my thanks to all of you fine men and women who kept this wonderful bird airworthy and deadly. There are many ground pounders who also owe you a thanks for the many CAS missions we flew in OIF & OEF. Here's to another 50 years of service for the Eagle!
My son is an avionics technician at Seymour Johnson AFB. His assigned jet is the F-15E Strike Eagle. While I don't get to see him as much as I'd want, since he lives and works on the other side of the US from me, videos such as these increase my knowledge of what he's working on, so I can understand a little of what he's saying. Thanks for the video.
Its good that your pumping out these much videos it's great
Need these kind of videos about every modern fighter jets. Thanks ❤️
The F-15EX is such an advancement over the legacy F-15, that it can be considered to be a new fighter that shares most of its airframe with the legacy Eagle. The upgraded avionics and in particular its new fly-by-wire flight control system added THAT much additional capability and performance. Its maneuvering capability is spookily similar to the F-22 and it can now carry up to 12 AMRAAMs, more than anything else flying. And more.
Gold - excellent content and factual delivery - concise and to the point - would love to see a video similar to this on the F18. First video of yours I've seen, can't wait to check out the rest of them.
Such a beautiful plane, so easy on the eyes. Great job on this video, it's nice to get a perspective of all the operational variants.
My grandfather worked for Northrop (before they merged with Grumman) repairing aircraft (including F-15 fighters and B-2 bombers, not kidding). Held that ONE job for about 40 years, retiring just before I was born when he got sick from being exposed to certain chemicals for so long. He never even finished elementary school, yet worked a job for so long and provided EVERYTHING our family has.
WOW an actual in-depth video on variants for once xD
RF-15 Peak Eagle, Photo Recon
F-15A Streak Eagle, Speed and Climb records
F-15 S/MTD
F-15 Active and so many more :).
Technically the STOL/MTD is the same physical aircraft, but the MTD is a revised design change on the STOL.
The STOL was a testbed for a military procurement proposal for F-15 STOL, and it would have differed somewhat from the STOL demonstrator (finding a new place for the gun, refining it as an ultra-maneuverable combat aircraft, etc.). The full proposal was fairly different from the test aircraft. For example, it would not have used F-18 rear horizontal stabilizers for canards, like the test plane. It would have been a gen 4.5+
When that proposal was "ghosted" from the public eye, to prevent any 'threat' to the ATF program (YF-23 & YF-22) in the eyes of congressmen who approve budgets, NASA picked up the testbed aircraft and reconfigured it as the MTD, a research platform for supermaneuverability (much like the X-31).
If you belief the flight control laws in DCS, Growling Sidewinder used the super maneuvering AFTI Eagle to actually turn inside a Raptor and knock it down. It was a really fun dogfight to watch, try looking it up.
Absolutely awesome US Fighter.
comprehensive information, Nice
Great aircraft. I remember working the strike eagle at Seymour Johnson. 336th rocketeers,the second time I was stationed there. The first time I worked the kc 10’s at Seymour Johnson, 68th cams squadron. Fun times.
In the header photo, the last Eagle pictured is wearing the tail logo of the 318th FIS of McChord AFB as it replaced the Convair F-106 Delta Dart my father worked on in the same Squadron.
Hey message me my mom was also a member the 318th and she was part of the team that won the huge trophy award didn't allow them to use the starburst on the F15
You missed the YF-15A "Streak Eagle"; "Streak Eagle" is an early preproduction aircraft. Differences in internal structure and systems operation made it too costly to return to operational service. It was delivered to the USAF museum in December 1980 after it was no longer useful as a flight test vehicle.
They’re describing operational aircraft, not one offs, no?
good info
Great video. The F-15 has been one of my favorite military planes since i was old enough to know and understand about them. My all time favorite plane though isn't a fighter - it's the SR-71A Black Birds. Most of the current USAF planes are the majority of my favorite's ; the F-14's and F-18's are honorable mentions.
There was an SR-71 Blackbird variant called the YF-12. It carried missles to shoot stuff down. Weaponized SR-71s is an awesome idea.
@@dosidicusgigas1376 Yep - the YF-12 had been proposed as a possible replacement for the F-106 Delta Dart. IF the YF-12 would of been used in active duty - it would of only had Missiles and maybe bombs. It wouldn't be able to have machine guns due to the fact that the plane was faster then bullets.
Thanks for air force video
I had the opportunity in the USAF to work on the avionics of the first F-15As back in the late 70's.
Coming from the F-111 designed in the early 60's the F-15A was a revelation.
Would you happen to know any significant difference between the A and C model of the eagle?
@@armyboy0579 it’s better
@@armyboy0579 better in every way
great plane man
Currently Indonesia plan to order F-15EX Eagle 2, amounted 36 units for strengthen Indonesia Air Force (TNI AU).
F-22: *replaces F-15*
F-15C 2040: *replaces F-22*
Sure, makes sense, I guess....?
they cut production of the F 22 way down from Over 600 Planned air craft to Less than 200 which was a big stupid huge Mistake by the congress and pentagon. ...
That goes to show you just how far ahead the air force of US is against everyone else, the closest is the J20, and just knowing that US has had 6 decades of building stealth vs less then 2 decades even though they stole some of it's schematics puts Chinese weapons at a disadvantage from not being built from the bottom up. Look at the engines, even the new one is still 2 generations behind the f35.
The age of dog fighting is practically dead like they thought it would be in a 1970s. I want to be surprised if the New logic is to turn the F-15 2040 into an F-4 airborne bomb truck of AAMRAM missiles
SR-71 replaced the U-2, but then they brought the Lady back when they retired the -71. Sometimes amazing scientific and engineering creations are just too expensive for those holding the purse strings.
F22 replacement is NGAD.
EX variant though😍
You should do the evolution of the Sukhoi Flanker. Su-27, Su-33, Su-37 etc.
Star Scream was an F15 Eagle beforw he became an F22 RAPTOR
He was also a SU-27 in Transformers Armada
@@armyboy0579 Nah, he was a fictional aircraft in Armada whose jet engines could double as cannons. You're thinking of Thundercracker from Transformers Cybertron/Galaxy Force.
F-15 is such a beast, specifically the E and EX variants , I mean I've never flown or seen one in person, but going off of on paper stats and videos.
Doesn’t need wings to fly and has the highest kill/loss ratio of any fighter currently in service. This is the result of making the US scared shitless 😂
It's the craziest feeling man. My dad would take me onto the flight lines to see these bad boys in person up close. The roaring engines is unlike nothing, even at idle you feel it in your chest. My favorite sound is the howl on startup.

@@adamwsaxe we have aircraft industries the IPTN , IPTN produce many aircrafts , exports many aircrafts , also Uncle Sam will train us under purchase agreement , and for your information IPTN has managed to upgrade F16's
This video forgot to mention the Japanese F-15MC that can transform into a robot.
I wish you included the F-15 STOL/MTD and F-15 ACTIVE; the thrust vectoring versions of the Eagle.
thrust vectoring this thrust vectoring that
They seem to have stuck with operational variants. The thrust vectoring Eagle was amazing. Assuming the control laws in DCS are true, and Growling Sidewinder knows his shat, that Eagle was the only aircraft to turn inside the Raptor and knock it down. It was a great dogfight to watch, you should look it up - fun stuff, and the first time I saw an F-22 get out turned.
@@ronjon7942 Yeah. Especially in the second dogfight when GS used the of the F-15 STOL/MTD with the centerline 20mm gun pod.
Miss the C's here in Soesterberg the Netherlands. Former afb were the Wolfhounds used to fly. CR as tailsign........damn l miss those times.
Still would have loved the latest version to have had thrust vectoring which would have made it even greater aircraft, as l think NASA did do a lot of work with the F15
F-15S/MTD, you mean.
My favorite fighter jet
WOW NEW
👏👏👏👍👍👍 no other planes in the world (except F 22&35)can match the overall performance of the F15 series. No, those Su whatever cannot beat the F15.
Like do you mean the sukhois can’t beat the eagle in a dogfight? Or in a bvr engagement in which case it’s actually a good fight
@@carlodevita3395 all-round performances my friend. You will hardly get a plane that beats its arch rival in every circumstances, and that's why I stated "overall performance of the F15".
Imagine, you and I have 10 fights. You beat me 8 times, but I only beat you once, and we draw in 1. Now who is the better fighter overall by a large margin?
The F-15 has superior:
- payload
- reliability
- range (particularly the E, and now EX)
- radar
- airframe durability
- and it's extremely maneuverable vs. other 4th gen aircraft, even with a heavy payload on it
The Sukhoi's do have some advantages too though. Frankly the Su-27 doesn't have any advantages over the F-15. But the Su-35 derivative, over time, grew into a really good plane.
Looking specifically at the Su-35S (circa 2012 or 2013):
- higher thrust:weight ratio
- thrust vectoring for turn rate at very low speed
- price
This would put a late model (emphasis on "late model") Sukhoi in a favorable position in an old-school "gun-sight" dogfight. With more energy recovery, and greater maneuverability when dipping into very slow speed (through TV), a sukhoi 35 made in the last decade would have an advantage, though not enough of an advantage to erase pilot skill as the dominant factor. The US didn't really pursue "4.5 gen" fighter tech, instead focusing entirely on 5th gen. Until the F-18E/F anyway, and eventually the F-15X and EX. Although the super hornet and F-1 5EX don't really focus on super-maneuverability.
The only problem with stealing the maneuverability trophy, is that modern missile tech is really deconstructing how dogfights work. And frankly, the Russian short range IR-guided missile (in the 90's) helped progress that trend. It had an ultra-wide angle seeker, which greatly reduced the need to paint the target with the nose of your aircraft. Around the same time, the US was working out how they would get missiles which are inside an internal weapons bay (on the F-22) to lock onto targets, basically giving missiles a synthetic sense of space, and a telemetry-based sense of their guidance & target. The result of these technological changes to missile tech really resulted in game changing ordinance & fire control tech. And as a result, "dogfighting maneuverability" became a lot less meaningful. The culmination of which is in the F-35, blending EOTS & distrubuted sensors for a 360 degree picture of the air space, HMDS (helmet mounted display system), HOBS (high off bore sight) missile targeting, and networking tech... which means if you can see an F-35 (from 'any' angle) then you've been targetable by the F-35 for quite some time. Frankly stealth is a secondary feature for the Lightning II.
Now air combat maneuverability is mostly about missile evasion. Unless you run out of missiles and actually have to use the gun, but that's like an infantryman running out of bullets and having to use his knife... aka "sub-optimal" when other people on the battlefield still have bullets.
@@kathrynck thank you my friend for the information.👏👏👍👍
The Eurofighter, Rafale, and some of the Chinese upgraded sukhois could give it trouble. Basically anything with an AESA radar
👌👍 😁
The first war the F-15 fought in was NOT the Gulf war. Israel was shooting down planes in wars starting from 1979 with the F-15.
Pay attention. She said F-15C.
@@zacklewis342 heroic
Was talking and the specific model. Chill bro.
@@zacklewis342 Okay, but it was stupid of "her" to ignore the Israeli air dominance of Lebanon even if the majority of the kills were by A/B models. Why? Because the majority of all F-15 kills were achieved during that period!
@@adamwsaxe Adam ease up take a deep breath breathing is good. Have a peaceful day.😃
That’s the most deadliest warfare aircraft to chase those Russians aircrafts during multiple wars with United States, in which US fought as dogfight capability - that is to say so far we have fought fiercely (we became victorious in all) and in other wars; and, I hope US Military will invent more deadly aircraft to fight our enemies! Thanks for the US Military dedication to protect our land and other Allies, including many other advanced aircraft that are in development! #USMilitary
I like all the usa aircraft.
I love her accent! ❤️
se and ex are single seat, the ex being single seat is the whole point behind the upgrade. besides its immensely upgraded weapon carrying capabilities, such as ie the bvr missiles.
Why not mention George Graff (chief engineer) or test pilot Irving Burrows? The people behind these classics never seem to get the credit that they're due
Overall - it an Icon during the end of the cold war, the Ultimate Apex fighter much like their USSR/Russian Counterparts, the Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker
Is the f-15cx even coming or cancelled?
Could You please also create the evolution of F-16?
No stol/ mtd?
We should have thrust vectored this platform.
We did. It was a NASA testbed called the STOL/MTD. Best guess is that the USAF didn't want it.
The new engine nozzles sure look like vectoring is present…probably not, I’ve been wondering about them though. Just 5% would make this thing unreal
why would you need to vector thrust? BVR is the future, enemy jets will be dead before they get in range
That would be unnecessary giving the current rules of engagement and beyond visual range technology.
It's basically become the F4 version of an airborne bomb truck loading with air-to-air missiles rather than air to ground bombs.
@@armyboy0579 Bingo. If enemy aircraft get into dogfight range that’s already several failures:
1) failure to suppress enemy air bases with cruise missiles/drone and stealth strikes.
2) failure of Airborne early warning
3) failure of Radar guided air-air missiles
Where's the SMT/D and ACTIVE variants?
You made a mistake with the F-15E variants. It's not F-151A, it's F-15IA, meaning Israeli Advanced.
Where are these models from?
US
It should be noted that there is a ton talk in the USAF about Boeing coming up with an upgrade program. That could upgrade F-15C's and F-15E Strike Eagles to the F-15EX model. Based on how well the F-15EX is turns out. Though many in the USAF think it might be simpler just to buy more F-15EX's and just outright replace the F-15C's. During the time it will take the NGAD to be picked, tested and built. Though the USAF just announced that it wants prototype submission for 3 companies. The recently flow NGAD was just a proof of concept and not meant as prototype or production aircraft of any type. So even if the NGAD is eventually fielded on mass it will still take years to achieve and the USAF would rather have F-15EX missile and bomb trucks that could work with its upgraded F-22's and upgrade F-35's.
Years?? No way - decades for NGAD.
Jet fighter can buy please
i have seen clips of F-15 pilots and WSO as if their seats SEEMS lifted upwards from a lower level to their normal flight control height but have seen much more pilots just climb in from outside.... what is the difference ??? what causes me to see like the seats as if lifted upwards from a lower level or seats could sink downwards for some purposes then resume back to normal height???
Did yall use diecast models for your pics? Thats what they look like
I got a question.. is F15J has any visual difference's to F15C and what is the most similar to F15J across the F15's?
Im trying to do modelkits if anyone asking why, but i dont have the knowledge on this plane beside from limited kits choice
F-15J has both vertical fins identical. F-15A/C/E has different vertical fins. Look at the top of them. On the left fin there is Magnavox AM/ALQ-128 antenna.
Led here by an image showing the evolution of the F15. It specified that the F-15E's first flight was in 2010, and that they hadn't yet gone into production?! I was a crew chief on F-15C/D models in 1995 at a base where a sister squadron was flying F-15Es regularly, so I knew this was BS and came to see. The slide in question appears around minute 6 of this video and shows more believable data, leaving me with three questions. 1) Why would the advertising image have info that is patently false unless it was intended as misdirecting clickbait? 2) Why would the advertising image's info differ from that in the video since a simple cut and paste would have prevented the error unless the false info was created intentionally as misdirecting clickbait? 3) Why would I ever watch any video ever again by The Buzz, seeing that they employ deception to lure in viewers whom they obviously don't respect?
Are there any visual differences between F-15A and F-15C?
Older A models still had the “Turkey feathers” on the exhaust nozzles before they were removed. The EX with its new engines has them still on the engines, but it’s also a different engine
A little galling that the F-22 fleet is now going to be supported and possibly supplanted by the very craft it was meant to replace. Whoever named it the Eagle must have been pretty confident the aircraft was going to be something special. Or I wonder if whether the F-15s success, longevity and evolution is because it's named after America's national bird. Can you imagine the headlines and uproar when they try to retire this thing? They'll have to make a variant capable of interplanetary combat; the Star Eagle.
F-15DJ is such a meme ready name lol.. where's the Rock at? In an F-15 DJ
I'm guessing the EX has datalink.

F15 strike eagle will beat the su35 in a match most of the time simply because it has much better sensors.
@@virginccyy7645 are you sure about that? because with its irst at low level a su35 doesnt even need to turn on its radar and make it do sneak attacks which eagle cant see coming because irst gives no emission and is a passive sensor. as far as EW is concerned, russians are the second best with the swedes being the best. as for networking, a flanker can share data to other jets and guide the other jet's missile if needed
Eagle is the GOAT
For all you armchair F-14 fighter pilots, it was retired in 2006! F-15EX will be with us for approximately 50 years! They're not building brand new F-14s but they are building brand new F-15s, so stop telling everybody how great the F-14 was! As a fighter pilot in the United States Air Force, I would like to thank Boeing, Fairchild Republic and the United States Air Force for giving me the opportunity to fly the most magnificent aircraft in the world, F-15 Eagle and A-10 Thunderbolt 2! Both aircraft always got me home safely and did the job like no other aircraft could do! If any of you are looking to join the military, look no further than the United States Air Force!

They refer to, how is a aircraft capable of performing, aerobatic manouvers, and then still capable of shooting down an enemy fighter
That refers to how an aircraft can perform actions like turning , moving around to allow it get an advantage over it's adversaries. The F-16 and F-18 are very maneuverable plane's maybe even more so then the F-15's.

I think you forgot the F-15J, the Japanese variant of the Eagle
She didnt
F15J & F15D/J were both covered.
F15J has nuke equipment ?
It would require significant software modifications. The US has not assigned Japan a nuclear mission like we have Germany or Belgium or the Netherlands. And Japan doesn't want it!
If the Japanese went rogue, of course, they could eventually find out how to modify their aircraft to carry nukes. Though those nukes would likely be of Japanese design.
The F15 is the best of the best.
F-15s datalinked to F-35s are most formidable.
Using 15s as missile trucks can bring down entire squadrons of enemy planes from BVR.
Then the F-15s help with dogfighting should any enemy planes get past the missiles.
Great way for our adversary to lose the majority of their air force in a day.
Don’t forget an Israeli F-15 flew on just one wing & landed safely. It was repaired & put back into service
hold your horses pixy, it was on a training exercise not an actual mission.
@@armyboy0579 Does not matter if it was a training flight or not it landed with just ONE WING. Plus as he said the jet was repaired and put back in to service.
Frankly the video which documents this rather sensationalizes the event, and claims that the McD-D engineers couldn't believe it.
But that's not really true. It's 'designed' to be able to fly on one wing. As well as with various other parts of the plane missing.
The engines are close together to allow it to operate efficiently on one engine (with an armored plate between them to prevent damage propagation, the vertical stabilizers are fully vertical so that there's no strangely angled control behavior if one of them is blown off the plane, etc.
@@kathrynck No, it wasn't designed to fly with one wing. No aircraft was. It was amazing enough that the VP for the F-15 at McDonnell Douglas had a model of the "wingless" aircraft on his desk, given to him by a grateful Israeli Air Force.
@@gitpicker The engine proximity and completely vertical tails, redundancy of hydraulics, self-sealing fuel tanks, etc. Were all designed to take severe combat damage.
That the engines were put very close together was actually a dual challenge, because it did allow for better handling if one of the wings and same side engine was lost (more central thrust), but it required armoring between the engines to prevent one engine from taking out the other. The straight-up parallel vertical stabilizers are not ideal for super sonic flight, but offer the most normalized handling of one of them is shot off.
We didn't exactly build a test plane with one wing, that would be reckless. And it wasn't the primary reason for using a lifting-body. But it WAS looked at in wind tunnel tests. With one engine lit, the fuselage and same-side wing can do a pretty good job of countering each other in yaw forces, requiring an only slightly side-goggled flight path.
The F-15 isn't as armored as the A-10 or F-4, but it had extreme redundancy and deep absorbtion of battle damage in it's design.
That someone was able to LAND the plane in that condition though, is what was surprising, and amazingly skilled.
I would also be better if the silen eagle was made
If you would like some information on why the starburst is on that F15 give me a call that was my mom's unit the 318th and record Air Force base fighting dragons
No mention on the F-15 the USAF didn't want accepted into service- F-15 ACTIVE? Granted it was used as "Tech demonstrator and and research aircraft", but holy moly was it excellent. The thing easily rivaled the Flankers of all kinds, but alas! It was not expensive enough to waste tax payer dollars, so they went with the overly expensive thus shitty F-35.
F-15 ACTIVE was never in a competition that would result in production to begin with, and the JSF program only became incredibly expensive midway through the F-35's development due to political interference and poor oversight from the military. Besides, the F-15 ACTIVE would only replace other F-15s, which were already being replaced by the far superior F-22.

Wrong information. F-14 was already more maneuverable than F-15 with its maneuvering flaps and slats that the Eagle did not especially at slower speeds and high AoA. You could do Pirouette turns in the F-14, which were not possible in the F-15. All of the Eagle drivers tried to take the fight into very high altitude in thin air to negate the lift advantage F-14 had. The F-14A did not have the thrust to weight that the F-15A had, but with the F-14 B/D using GE-F110 engines, it was able to achieve a greater than 1:1 thrust to weight in lighter configurations. That was never the reason why Sea Eagle was rejected. With all of the strengthening to take carrier abuse and sea salt and long range radar, it was going to be heavier and more expensive than the F-14, which is why it was rejected.
No to mention the first fighter to have greater thrust than it's weight was the English Electric Lightning, back in the 50s.
And further more the F15 cant carry the Aim54 phoenix . with all the modifications to be able to carry the phoenix the F15 would have inferior caapabilities than the tomcat also icreased cost iata iata iata
Nah F15 is better with more G forces and not a single F15 were lost doing combat stop watching Top Gun too much
@@kaito1213 NATOPS limit of 7.5g was a soft limit in the book. F-14 was not G-limited as it was mechanical control systems. The airframe was certified for 9.5G by Grumman. F-14 could turn tighter than F-15. Pilots used to pull 9 - 10G in F-14s all the time especially below 20,000 feet. There are even HUD videos of F-14 pulling 9.4g. It has nothing to do with the point I am making. F-14 had capabilities that F-15 did not. Period. I am stating a fact, in order to adapt those for the Navy, it would have been more expensive, heavier and less capable than the F-14. That is why Sea Eagle was rejected.
@@2ZZGE100 out turn faster then F15 but F 15 is way better then F14 plus there is many types of F15 and F 14 is too old for now replac by FA18 on Carrier today
F-15 SR EAGLE MADE IN SAUDI ARABIA 🇸🇦
