The canted tails you are talking about are previewed on the Silent Eagle concept (F-15SE) but did not make it into production on theF-15EX as "Boeing argued that its test results show only a slight improvement through the modification of the tails" <br />https://www.airforce-technology.com/news/newsboeing-f15-se-fighter/chandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12612113568155817480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-83935841506632808222022-03-22T22:04:56.513-07:002022-03-22T22:04:56.513-07:00The latest version of the F-15 is an aircraft type...The latest version of the F-15 is an aircraft type that the IAF perhaps doesn't know anything about. Would the defence ministry have chosen it over the Rafale, if it had been available as an alternative to the French fighter previously? The F-15 EX isn't a Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft, rather, it is a heavy jet fighter, like the Sukhoi-30 MKI. It seems as if there is no requirement for the F-15 EX for the IAF in the future, if the Sukhoi-30 MKI's are upgraded to the latest specifications.Aditya Mookerjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10561497022747584987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-33175860540578604992022-03-20T01:51:59.382-07:002022-03-20T01:51:59.382-07:00F-15 EX has its vertical tail slanted by about 20d...F-15 EX has its vertical tail slanted by about 20degrees to increase stealth.
