F-15 stealth fighter concept

[pedrospe]

Hi everyone,i was surfing the web today,looking for some f-15 silent eagle pictures,and came across this fictional concept for a stealth f-15.

Looks pretty cool. Could use some work, though.

It needs sawtooth love and edge alignment.

nice drawing

The inlet can use some boundary layer diverter.

And you might want to slope the aft section of the vertical stabilizers...

The inlet can use some boundary layer diverter.

It looks like it is using DSI (take note of the "bumps" in the inlets). However, all DSI that I've seen on real aircraft have had forward-swept inlet cowls. I don't know if an aft-swept cowling as seen here would work or not. Anyone more knowledgable on inlet design have any input on that?

 

[mboeller]

aren't the 2 conformal weapon bays too big and the drag prohibitive? Otherwise a nice concept.

 

[pedrospe]

I think the conformal weapons bays, are as big as the ones on the F-15E or new the F-15 Silent eagle,althought,on this concept they look stealthier and have a different design,and looks like they could carry more missiles.


best regards

It need to be forward swept because the "bump" Will break down the boundary layer.. and let it flow away from inlet. Or that's what i understand.

With such F-22 like inlet.. I don't think the bump will work.
