What is the Take off speed for F-15?

The takeoff speed for the F-15 Eagle varies depending on several factors, including the specific model, payload, environmental conditions, and performance requirements. Here are some general ranges for different variants of the F-15:

1. F-15C Eagle (without external stores):

- Standard Takeoff: Approximately 165-170 knots (306-315 km/h)

- Short Takeoff (with afterburners): Approximately 140-150 knots (259-278 km/h)

2. F-15E Strike Eagle (with typical payload):

- Standard Takeoff: Approximately 175-185 knots (324-343 km/h)

- Short Takeoff (with afterburners): Approximately 150-160 knots (278-296 km/h)

3. F-15EX Advanced Eagle (without external stores):

- Standard Takeoff: Approximately 170-180 knots (315-333 km/h)

- Short Takeoff (with afterburners): Approximately 145-155 knots (268-287 km/h)

These values are estimates and can vary depending on specific operational requirements and circumstances. The F-15 pilots and ground crew carefully calculate the takeoff speed based on factors such as aircraft weight, runway conditions, temperature, and altitude to ensure a safe and efficient takeoff.
