The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F-15 Eagle is an American twin-engine all-weather tactical fighter designed by McDonnell Douglas to gain and maintain air superiority in aerial combat. It is among the most successful modern fighters with over 100 aerial combat victories. Following reviews of proposals the United States Air Force selected McDonnell Douglas’ design in 1967 to meet the service’s need for a dedicated air superiority fighter.
