The F-15 Eagle was designed specifically to reprise the role of "dogfighter".?To do this/ the basic engineering was directed toward lower maintenance time by using less complicated systems. Maintaining the Eagle takes about half the time it takes for a Phantom/ yet the F-15 retains essential automatic controls/ such as engine inlet positioning. The Eagle's twin Pratt & Whitney F100 afterburning turbofans produce 10/000 more pounds of thrust than the weight of the plane. This allows the F-15 to turn tightly without sacrificing precious airspeed. The Eagle carries one 20mm rotary cannon as standard equipment/ but eight hardpoints can carry an enormous variety of additional weaponry to enhance the dogfighting abilities of the plane.
