F-15ex Vs F-16

F-15ex Vs F-16

I already said it would be more logical. For Israel, simply buy more used F-15s and upgrade them. Better than buying a new F-15EX. At least I'm not alone...

My guess is that the F-15EX fleet will join the existing F-15E fleet. However, it will likely be upgraded to a similar standard.

But for Israel and the US Air Force second-hand F-15C. I doubt they would be very interested. Because they need fewer F-15Ds.

If I am not mistaken, the average age of F-15C is about 35 years. I doubt the Israelis want them.

I can't wait to see the F-15EX demo a very "clean" bird. Yeah. Remember the EX carries about 6000lbs of empty fuel and 9000lbs of internal fuel IIRC.

Thanks for the attention to the EX weight gain. First I heard it was 6000 lbs heavier empty, I wonder where the extra weight comes from? For 9,000 pounds more internal fuel, you pretty much mean the CFT, right?

My understanding is that the F-15C carries 13,500 pounds of fuel internally. I've long wondered if Boeing would add it to the EX, especially since the second cabin takes up more space. However, I can't find anywhere that adds extra (actual internal) fuel. Frankly, it's disappointing. But since they don't matter for CFT flight, I'm guessing there won't be much of a drag/performance loss with them. This is strange because every F-15C I see flies with 2 bags. When asked about this, a local F-15C pilot shrugged and said, "We can always hit them, we can't do that with the CFT."

Maybe the new engine has more fuel consumption

The F-15EX is basically an F-15E aircraft with new internals (F110s instead of F100s, new mission computer, new displays, new ECM, new MAWS and of course FBW). The F-15C weighs about 31,000 pounds. F-15E weighs 34,000 without CFT and 37,000 with CFT. Yes, the extra fuel is all in the CFT (the F-15D only has 12400 IIRC). Operationally, the F-15E flies with two underwing bags in addition to the CFT. Find the F-15E air show without the CFT. This is the F-15EX without the CFT, which will have good low speed handling for air show performance.

Of course, if the USAF had chosen the PW-229 instead of the GE-129 to produce the EX, it would have saved 800 pounds of empty weight. In 1g flight there isn't much of a difference, but at 9g it's 7,200lbs of payload pushing the engine through slow maneuvers.

The U.S. Air Force is looking to add artificial intelligence, or new "cognitive" AI and machine learning capabilities, to electronic warfare systems being developed for various versions of the F-15, a concept known as cognitive electronic warfare. The Air Force Lifecycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio issued a contract notice on March 11, 2021, to add cognitive electronic warfare capabilities to F-15 variants. The F-15 Program Office said: "The cognitive (artificial intelligence/machine learning) EW [electronic warfare] capabilities ... could be developed over the next two years to incrementally improve and integrate with EW systems currently under development for the F-15." , To be used. According to this announcement. EPAWSS is a fully digital personal defense system designed to replace the existing AN/ALQ-135 Tactical Electronic Warfare System (TEWS) on the F-15E. While its sophisticated capabilities are highly sensitive, we do know that the new kit can detect, classify and locate various types of electromagnetic emissions, including hostile radar beams. You can then prioritize which ones are the biggest threats and then apply your deterrent and other countermeasures. EPAWSS is now highly automated. It would be ideal for integrating cognitive electronic warfare capabilities. Source: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/3 ... features

The Air Force seems wise to use the advanced Eagle as a test bed for new technologies and methods.

The Air Force is trying to figure out the real reason for acquiring the F-15EX in the first place.

So they bring the F110 up to the standard set by the F100-229 EEP engine - 6000 TCY cycles between module depot overhauls that have been available for the past 5 years.

I added this video here because I thought it had something to do with the -EX, since it was powered by a GE motor, at least initially.

For example, I wonder how much range the F-15EX has compared to the F-15E. I also wonder if "stock performance" means more boost, faster throttle input, etc.? Finally, are the E and EX shown below both powered by the same GE motor? Unless my eyes are deceiving me, the lions at least look the same. PandW doesn't seem to have removed the turkey feathers like the F-100... F-15 Eagle First flew in 1972, the F-15 Eagle entered the US Air Force in 1974. The most obvious feature of the Eagle is its incredible acceleration and maneuverability. . It was the first US fighter jet to have engine power greater than the aircraft's gross weight, allowing it to accelerate in a vertical climb. High strength, light weight and large wing area make the eagle very mobile.

The F-16 evolved from the prototype program of the USAF Light Fighter Wing (LWF) in 1972, which sought a small, lightweight, low-cost, high-performance, and easy-to-maintain fighter in the day of air superiority. It reached combat readiness in October 1980.

The LWF program, which saw the Northrop YF-17 compete against the General Dynamics YF-16, sought a small, lightweight, low-cost, state-of-the-art fighter designed for high performance and ease of maintenance. The program began because many in the fighter community believed that aircraft such as the F-15 Eagle were too large and expensive for many combat roles.

On January 13, 1975 at Edwards Air Force Base (AFB), Secretary of the Air Force John L. McLucas announced that the YF-16 would be the next full development of the US Air Force's next air combat fighter, the YF-17. - He announced that he won the race.

Although the YF-16 failed in LWF competition, the YF-17 (nicknamed the "Cobra" and the culmination of a series of Northrop models that began with the N-102 Fang in 1956 and ended with the F. 5 family) The Navy was selected for the New Military Fighter Attack (VFAX) program and changed to the F/A-18.

Designed as a small, lightweight fighter, this design culminated in the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, the size of the original F-15.
