[OLD] F-15 Black Eagle

1,657 Xenanraptor720  5.5 years ago

UPDATE:
I removed the VTOL function and canards to give the impression that this is a modified F-15 Eagle, though the modifications are not as extensive as future projects.

NOTE:
This aircraft is a "recolor" of a previously submitted aircraft meant for a different head canon series.

HISTORY:
Dragon Tactical, a privatized multi-national security organization, has recently developed a new generation of modern "super fighter". This new fighter is simply a modified F-15 Eagle that comes with new engines, partial stealth capabilities, and a new set of guns. Several of these new jets have been built already, but one of them stands out. The one painted in the black and grey livery with the red bat wings on the stabilizers is flown by a particular pilot. Not much is known about this pilot except that he's a man, he once served in the navy, and he possesses skills unmatched by any other pilot in the world. Although his red wing insignia is a sign of hope for his allies, it is a sign of dread for his enemies. So many of the world's combat aviators fell by his hand--that most people simply refer to him as "Death Wing".

ARMAMENT:
14x short ranged unguided air-to-ground rockets
4x medium ranged radar guided fire-and-forget air-to-ground inferno missiles
2x medium ranged radar guided air-to-air guardian missiles
2x long ranged radar guided fire-and-forget air-to-air interceptor missiles
Dual 50 cal. vulcan gattling guns

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS AND ADVICE:
Do not pitch down too hard or too quickly while launching a missile or a rocket, otherwise it might collide with the craft mid-flight and destroy it.

Action group 1 illuminates the exterior lights.

Action group 2 jettisons the rocket pods.

Action group 3 jettisons the inferno missiles.

Action group 4 jettisons the guardian missiles.

Action group 5 jettisons the interceptor missiles.

Action group 6 jettisons the external fuel tanks.

Action group 7 deploys the arrest hook.

The trim slider adjusts the pitch of the air intakes in the front. This is merely an aesthetic feature, it does not affect the performance of the aircraft.
