A U.S. Air Force F‑35A Lightning II and a Boeing F‑15E Strike Eagle are depicted in a banked air‑to‑air formation at USAFE Days 2023. The F‑35A’s stealth shape and single engine contrasts with the F‑15E’s twin‑engine layout. The F‑35A’s Pratt & Whitney F135 afterburning turbofan and the F‑15E’s Pratt & Whitney F100 afterburning engines enable high thrust for diverse mission profiles and tactical manoeuvres.
