The most modified F-15 Ever Built | The story of Aircraft 837: • PilotPhotog Merch Store! • https://shop.pilotphotog.com • **Update video with additional info: • F15 ACTIVE Update Video | Best of Av... ** • The F-15 given serial number 71-0290 had perhaps the most diverse range of duties of any F-15 ever built. Having first flown in 1973, it was the first two seat F-15 Eagle, and sixth F-15 built by McDonnell Douglas and was initially designated as a TF-15. The aircraft would go on to serve as a trainer, a testbed for the F-15E strike eagle, a technology demonstrator, and even a NASA research aircraft for several programs at the same time as the F16XL. Fun fact: This F-15 used F18 stabilator as canards, and performed supercruise research. We will look at all of those roles today but first let's take a look at the specifications of this airplane during its service with the NASA ACTIVE program: • • Specifications • Length: 63 FT 8 IN (19.42 M) • Height: 18 FT 6 IN (5.64 M) • Wingspan: 42 FT 10 in (13 M) • Canard span: 25 FT 7 IN (7.80 M) • Horizontal tail span: 28 FT 3 IN (8.60 M) • Maximum speed: 1,522 MPH (2,450 KMH, 1,323 KN) Mach 2 • Empty weight: 35,000 LB (15,876 KG) • Takeoff weight: 47,000 LB (21,319 KG) • Service Ceiling: 60,000 FT (18,288 M) • Engine Thrust Class (each) • Pratt Whitney F100-PW-229 turbofan engines, equipped with Pratt Whitney P/YBBN three-dimensional thrust vectoring nozzles: • 17,800 lbf (79 kN) thrust dry • 29,000 lbf (130 kN) with afterburner • Subscribe on Patreon: / pilotphotog • Patrons and channel members get early access to ad free videos • Follow me on other social media: • 📸 Instagram - / pilotphotog • 📖Facebook - / pilotphotog • 🐦Twitter - / pilotphotog • 👾Twitch: / pilotphotog • 🎮 Discord: / discord • • Design support provided by BVR: • https://bvr.design/ • For those asking where 837 is today: • https://www.google.com/maps/@34.95264... • • Credits/Attributions: • The appearance of U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) visual information does not imply or constitute DoD endorsement. • NASA footage and photos: • https://images.nasa.gov • 71-290 photography in standard USAF Livery photos: • Photographers: Richard Lockett and Brain Lockett • Music from https://filmmusic.io Hiding Your Reality by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...) • This video is an opinion editorial commentary. • Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for fair use purposes such as criticism, commentary, parody, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. • All works used in this video (Images, audio etc) belong to their respective authors • (This does not include the audio commentary or BGM).
