The official name of the F-15EX Advanced Eagle fighter turns out to be sad and uninterest, recognizes the American magazine Popular Mechanics.
Edition Reminds that the most perfect F-15 Eagle, which analysts Ryan Bauer and Peter Wilson American RAND research organization consider the analogue of the Russian fifth generation aircraft Su-57, the US Air Force (Air Force) gave the name F-15EX Eagle II .
Magazine writes that the US Air Force is currently exploited by six fighter models (F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-15C Eagle, F-35 Lightning II, F-15 Strike Eagle, F-22 Raptor and F-15 Eagle II ), Two of which “have sequel names”.
Edition confident that with the new name F-15EX Advanced Eagle, the resulting “really impressive” misses “the ability to inspire a new generation of pilots.” The magazine proposes to name F-15EX Advanced Eagle, for example, F-15EX Super Eagle.
According to Popular Mechanics, after 20 years, approximately half of the US Air Force fighters will have “Sicle’s names”. “Siclelas will be with us at least until the 2050s,” the publication writes.
In February, the F-15EX Advanced Eagle fighter took off, which is considered the most perfect version of F-15 Eagle. A plane that can become the most armed fighter in the world will complement F-35 Lightning II in particularly complex missions.
