The Eagle's air superiority is achieved through a mixture of unprecedented
maneuverability and acceleration,
range, weapons and avionics. It can penetrate
enemy defense and outperform and outfight any current enemy
aircraft. The
F-15 has electronic systems and weaponry to detect, acquire, track and attack
enemy aircraft while
operating in friendly or enemy-controlled airspace.
The weapons and flight control systems are designed so one
person can safely
and effectively perform air-to-air combat.
