Boeing to pay for developing stealthy version of F-15 jet fighter

摘要

Boeing officials say the company will use its own money to develop a stealthy version of the twin-engine F-15 jet fighter-bomber, the F-15 Silent Eagle, which could fill a market void for domestic and international sales of twin-engine modern jet fighters in the wake of the Air Force's cancellation of the twin-engine F-22 Raptor fighter jet. Boeing officials expect to flight test a Silent Eagle prototype by next summer. The F-15 Silent Eagle, which Boeing launched last March advances the most modern variants of the F-15 multi-role strike fighter with enhanced survivability.
