Key Point: A stealthy F-15 sounds like a good idea in theory, but it is unclear how much it would cost. Given that the military already has the super stealthy F-35, it would not make sense to purchase another expensive fighter.
A recent article concerning Boeing’s pitch to the U.S. Air Force of a cheap, modestly upgraded F-15X fighter elicited lamentations from some commenters that the Air Force was not enticed by a more ambitious proposal for the F-15SE Silent Eagle—an F-15 with a reduced radar cross section.
