One of the current battles focuses on a seemingly simple question: should the Air Force spend a portion of its budget on a new version of its oldest fighter, the F-15 Eagle, or dedicate every available dollar to the F-35 Lightning, its newest fighter? Complicating matters is that the two aircraft are built to do different things. The single-engine F-35A is meant to carry out penetrating strikes into protected enemy airspace, relying on stealth and powerful sensors to avoid enemy troops. Whereas the Air Force’s soon-to-be-retired twin-engine F-15C fighters are air-to-air-only aircraft that patrol the airspace around the United States and foreign military bases, fending off intruders and potential attackers. The F-15 is non-stealthy as a fighter can get, but has a 33 percent higher maximum speed of Mach 2.5 and a longer range.
