How F-15s Work

It didn't take long for the world to figure out the combat
potential of airplanes. In 1911, only eight years after the
Wright brothers got their creation off the ground, the U.S.
military started dropping test bombs from above. A few years
later, World War I troops were battling it out in the sky with
machine-gun-packing fighter planes.

Things moved pretty quickly from there. Only 60 years later, the
early single-engine propeller planes had evolved into sleek,
powerful fighter jets that could make sharp aerial turns at more
than 600 miles per hour. 

In this article, we'll look at one of the most famous fighters,
the F-15. This remarkable aircraft is getting up in years -- it
has been around since the early '70s -- but it's still a crucial
piece of the U.S. arsenal. According to the U.S. Air Force, it
has a perfect combat record, with over 100 victories and zero
defeats. As we'll see, its success is due to its phenomenal
maneuverability, advanced electronic equipment and fearsome
firepower.
