Boeing managed to secure a $1.3 billion contract for Super Hornets, but production is expected to cease by 2027 due to a lack of new customers. The company also saw reduced orders for the F-15EX from the Pentagon.

The F-15EX Eagle II is essentially a beast of a fighter jet with the ability to carry approximately 30,000 lbs of munitions - almost eight times the amount of munitions the legendary B-17 Flying Fortress bomber could carry.

Since the introduction of fighter jets in the combat space first emerged during the Second World War, these mighty weapons have come a long way. But planes like the F-35 and F-22 don't come cheap. 

The modern aerial battlefield is defined by advanced fighter jets, with the U.S. and Russia fielding some of the world's most formidable airframes.

The new Boeing F-15EX Eagle II fighter jet's potential to reach nearly Mach 3, announced at the Singapore Airshow, evokes memories of the golden era of jet technology.

In July 2020 ,the United States Air Force contracted with Boeing for the delivery of new F-15 fighters, to be dubbed the F-15EX. The idea behind the F-15EX is remarkable in its simplicity: We have a great fighter plane, but our existing fleet is old, so why not just buy some new ones?

With all that thrust available, the F-15EX will have a top speed of 1,650 miles per hour, which is better than Mach 2.5. The jet’s combat range will be 687 nautical miles and the service ceiling should be upwards of 60,000 feet.
