Key Takeaways The F-15 Eagle’s unmatched combat record of 104-0 is a testament to its superior design, advanced technology, and exceptional maneuverability, enabling it to dominate aerial combat. Such speed capabilities are largely due to the twin Pratt & Whitney turbofan engines, each capable of producing over 29,000 pounds of thrust.
