F-15’s Tilting Air Intakes Showcased In Awesome Video

Recent video of a Japanese F-15J Eagle brilliantly shows the fighter’s maneuvering air intakes bobbing up and down in flight. Although it certainly looks strange in a techno-marvel kind of way. The F-15’s air intakes are swept forward from top to bottom. The intakes ’nod’ up and down under the control of an air data computer to keep the aperture facing directly into the airstream, ensuring massive amounts of air can be gulped through the intakes and into the engines. #militaryreview #f15j #japan #mitsubishi
