Just How Stealthy is F-15 Silent Eagle

In the realm of modern military aviation, stealth technology has revolutionized the way aircraft operate, providing a significant advantage on the battlefield. Among these advanced aircraft is the F-15 Silent Eagle, a variant of the renowned F-15 platform designed to incorporate stealth features.

At the core of the F-15SE Silent Eagle's stealth capabilities lie its conformal fuel tanks (CFTS). Underwing stores are a major source of radar reflectivity, so Boeing added internal weapons bays to the fuselage-hugging conformal fuel tanks that many F-15 models are compatible with. Another crucial aspect of the F-15 Silent Eagle's stealth profile is the incorporation of radar-absorbent materials and coatings.
