McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle Ideas and Inspiration

dy031101:
The discussion with production F-17 makes me wonder about one thing- did GE compete for the engine to be used by the F-15?  If they did, what engine did they enter the competition with?

========================================================

Nevertheless, even though it couldn't be the YJ101 or F404 that GE competed for the F-15's engines with, I feel tempted to think of a F-15 powered by a cluster of three of these turbofans, too......

GTX_Admin:
I don't know if there was any original competing engine, although in recent years the F-15 has been available with the GE F110 engine.  Variants with this so far include the F-15K, SG and updated S versions.

GTX_Admin:
One concept I am toying with is the idea of an F-15 fitted with a probe & drogue air-to-air refuelling arrangement.  Either for the proposed F-15N or as an option for export versions.

Maverick:
Another could be a VG wing onto an F-15 body.  Bit of a twist from the usual 'normal' wing on a VG machine.

Regards,

John

I'd think the F-15 would look quite fetching with a cranked arrow delta wing configuration, like the F-16XL.
