These efforts were further reinforced by the introduction of thrust vectoring technology, and then canards were added in front of F-15's traditional wings in 1988. This Program was a huge success, while a standard F-15 Eagle needed more than 7,500 feet of clear runway to land, the F-15 STOL/MTD could do it in just 1,650 feet, 78% less than standard runway. In 1993, a new F-15 active program was hoping to use the fighter as a testbed to see what capabilities the United States could develop for further generations of fighter jets. NASA also introduced the Pratt & Whitney pitch yaw balance beam nozzles, with a full 360-degree arc in which the nozzles could redirect outflow. The F-15 used for these programs was ultimately retired in January of 2009. #shorts #youtubeshorts #f15eagle
