The fighter will help warfighters in surviving attacks with its digital electronic warfare suite, advanced electronically scanned array radar and improved aerodynamic design.

The fighter can carry air-to-air missiles like AIM-9 and AIM-120 and air-to-ground weapons such as the joint direct attack munition and small-diameter bomb internally in its conformal fuel tanks.

Boeing Integrated Defense Systems president and CEO Jim Albaugh said that international F-15 operators are interested in Silent Eagle’s capabilities.

“This aircraft meets the operators’ need for a flexible, long-range, large-payload, high-speed, multirole strike fighter with reduced observability,” said Albaugh.
