here we go again.I took you for a smart guy anyways this is the figure for 1994 we know by now that F-15 with average to high load get far more than the 250 hr annual usage since 2001 due to America's adventure in Muslim countries due to war on terror and the various bombing campaigns which are still continuing factoring that that US is planning to use them beyond 2030 their airframe stress is beyond 20000 hrs .
It doesn't matter what you think or anybody else thinks about the Kaveri program well that is the truth .Anyways I am done with this discussion.
same here i took you for a smart guy too!, i guess were both disappointed.
f15 under go mlu and structural upgrades and the us is planning to use the f15 beyond 2030. the point you dont get here is that the planes structure will be upgraded/replaced. upgrades will typically contain improvements in addition to prolonging the life of the f15. this would typically mean composites replacements. i can have an eft with a 30000hour life span if we want to all we need to do is just keep upgrading the air frame. that last sentence is vulgar, yet it makes my point.
