Most aircraft are designed with positive stability, meaning they naturally want to return to straight and level flight with no input from the pilot.

It was the first production aircraft designed with relaxed, or negative, stability. The F-16 is a single-tail, single-engine aircraft, using the same Pratt and Whitney P100 jet engine as the F-15. The twin-tail and swept wing design allows for a high angle of attack and good stability at extremely high speeds. The F-15 is characterized by its twin-engine configuration, giving the aircraft so much thrust that it can accelerate while climbing straight up at a 90 degree angle, and can climb 30,000 feet in just 60 seconds. Watch the documentary on the F-16 Fighting Falcon: There are also about 10 variants of the F-16, which is also expected to be in service with the US Air Force until at least 2025. Having a single engine kept the aircraft light and maneuverable. The F-16 was developed by General Dynamics with the goal of being able to maneuver with a minimum amount of energy loss, and to have a high thrust to weight ratio. The F-15 expected to be in service with the US Air Force until at least 2025.Īfter the Vietnam war, the US military decided it needed a highly maneuverable and inexpensive fighter jet to complement the more powerful and costly F-15. There are now nearly 10 versions of the F-15, with such variants as a lower radar signature, 2-seat trainers, and improved all-weather radar models. The high-speed/long-range requirements for the jet led Mcdonnell Douglas to the twin-engine design of the F-15. The F-15 was developed in response the the Air Force’s desire for a dominant air superiority fighter capable of ground attacks, partially to counter the perceived threat from the Soviet Mig Foxbat aircraft under development in the late 1960’s.
