The Eagle II's speed has been recorded close to Mach 3 when stripped down. Robert “Blend’r” Novotny from Boeing noted that its "not-to-exceed" speed is approximately Mach 2.9 or 2,225 mph at sea level.
The General Electric F110 turbofan powers the latest generation of F-16 and F-15 series aircraft. It is used by several allied air forces worldwide. This engine family provides flexibility for evolving global threats without additional development time needed for the F-15EX program.
Boeing developed the F-15EX under a directive from 2018 to upgrade existing tactical forces. It replaces older jets like the A-10 Thunderbolt II while supporting missions such as homeland defense and air-to-ground support.
Former USAF pilot Mike ‘Dozer’ Shower highlighted differences between flying an F-15 Eagle and an F-22 Raptor: “In an F-15 you’re sensor operator... That’s the difference with the F-22 Raptor... you could take four weapons instructors in an F-15 each... Then you put one really good guy in an F-15 against a Raptor and he’s still gonna get killed; there’s that much of a difference in technology.”
Lockheed Martin's F-22 may have taken on some roles traditionally held by earlier fighters like the Cold War-era super-fighter but thanks largely due to exceptional power-speed combinations alongside versatile weapon carrying capacity -the iconic powerful Eagle IIs renewed purpose ensures continued service within USAF ranks well into future years ahead retaining title fastest active-duty jet force
