Boeing Unveils New “Stealthy” F-15


"Number-two U.S. defense firm Boeing has designed a new “Silent Eagle” version of the venerable F-15 fighter that is stealthier than older models. Ares and AvWeek have the scoop.

The U.S. Air Force and the separate F-22 and F-35 fighter lobbies continue to make the claim that the future of U.S. air power depends solely on buying thousands of the latest stealthy, “fifth-generation” fighters. But Boeing, which also builds the Navy’s F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, is offering alternatives that are thoroughly tested, battle-proven and less risky, cost-wise."
