There’s a lot of debate over which is better. The SU-27 or the F-15? The answer is simple… Both:
McSukhoi Douglas FS-21
The McSukhoi Douglas FS-21 Flanker Eagle is a joint American-Russian twin engine, all weather fighter aircraft designed by McSukhoi Douglas. It was intended as a joint venture between American and Russian aerospace companies to demonstrate what could be achieved by hybridising the F-15 Eagle with the SU-27 Flanker.
The FS-21 was envisioned as an air superiority aircraft. Although, its design also allows for a secondary ground-attack function, which has largely been unused due to a proposed development for a dedicated fighter/bomber variant.
Design
The FS-21 is aerodynamically similar to both the F-15 and SU-27. This is because the FS-21 is a hybridised blend of both designs, utilising a cropped tailed delta configuration, with wings that blend into the fuselage at the leading edge.
The rear of the aircraft uses a stabilator design which incorporates both pitch and roll controls to increase the aircraft’s agility, with a small dogtooth section applied to help reduce flutter.
Flaperon controls can be found on the inboard trailing edge of the wing, which also automatically provide input for pitch manoeuvres and prioritise flap control, while standard flaperon controls can be found outboard, with these prioritising roll control. Slats can be found on the leading edge of the wing which provide increased lift at AoA and at low speeds.
Controls
Standard flight controls apply, with the trim lever providing trim control and the VTOL level providing Flap control. Activator 1 enables re-heat, activator 2 enables weapons and activator 3 enables nav and formation lights.
Notes
This is a true hybrid design. Not a take parts off one thing and slap them on another Frankenstein’s monster type deal. I overlaid the blueprints of both aircraft onto one another and tried to draw the best average outline I could. Obviously, some compromises had to be made (such as the intake position). But overall, the design is as close as I could get it to being a mix between them both. The initial blueprint can be found below:

I have made a few hybrids , always a simple pick a part and paste aircraft. Never have I thought about fusion . My tagline for theese is " I took an f35 bat and hit an f16 . This is next level stuff u have here . This is more akin to flying an f15 into an su27 at mach5 . A standing o from me
nice NA-335 lol
oh and also

My nightmares:
Great Build! Very Nice! It has been brought to my attention that you've made a certain comment and have removed some of my posts. I do not disagree with the fact, however, I do not want to take credit for other people's builds and I truly do believe that is why there is an original author that automatically shows up when you're posting a modified build. I have been getting some petty comments complaining about me reposting others' builds. I am not sure that you saw my comment that I added on the build as it was removed. I just want to make my statement clear and do not want to stir and problems up. Below is my comment.
@Squirrel Sorry, I posted it so I could transfer It from my phone to my computer as I use both to create planes, I am planning on posting the version that I made personal changes to. I'm sorry for disturbing you, I just want to show appreciation for the creators of ww2 era builds as I am a very big history nerd. To see cool planes such as the Ha-1112 in simple planes excites me. If you must know why I needed to transfer, it is because of some sub-assemblies that I have on my computer being more useful to what I want to build. Thanks, TheManChan
As I stated, I do not want to cause any disruptions, I only want to state my point and where I'm coming from.

Person 1: What is it?
Person 2: An F-15?
Person 1: Hmm, doesn’t look like one.
Person 2: Su-27?
Person 1: Doesn’t look like that either.
Person 2: Then what is it?
Squirrel: Both.
@SteadfastContracting thank you!
Hey man! Welcome back!
@typeZERO They're at peace and were always at peace, well, expect for the cold war which is just political wars without boolets but with things that prove one is better than the other
MY EYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Ahhh.... I really hope the Russia and America would come in peace with one another. Why? So Aircraft Companies like PJSC United Aircraft Corporation and McDonnell Douglas could have a Collab Build like this....
T_T
So do we call it Mihaly or Cipher?
Just realized who the uploader is... Welcome back Squirry!
Why not mix both
love this. but i think you should move the main gear a bit to outside like what on Su-27

One of the coolest crossovers in my opinion.
