FSX/FS2004 F-15 S/MTD

FSX/FS2004 F-15 S/MTD. This is my second release for the FS community. The F-15 S/MTD is a STOL variant of the all-weather tactical fighter F-15 Eagle. While S/MTD stands for Short take off and landing /Maneuver Technology Demonstrator, the actual plane has F-18’s elevators as canard wings and a two-dimensional thrust vectoring, which gives the aircraft an exceptionnal maneuvrability. Developed as a technology demonstrator, the F-15 S/MTD carried out research for studying the effects of vectored thrust and enhanced maneuverability. The NASA has modified an F-15 Eagle by adding canard wings and by replacing the original engines nozzles by two Pratt & Whitney P/YBBN 20 Degree two-dimensional thrust vectoring nozzles. The F-15 S/MTD can also perform the famous “Pugachev’s Cobra” maneuver. The same aircraft would later be used for the F-15 ACTIVE (with three-dimensional vectored thrust) and for the F-15 IFCS (with three-dimensional vectored thrust and with improved avionic). Features all the basic animations (retractable landing gear, steering wheel, working suspension, working surfaces plus thrust vectoring nozzles and moving engines inlets) and afterburner. Sorry, no VC.Model made in Gmax by Thomas Lebel. 5MB
