F-15EX undergoes acoustic testing

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. - The Air Force has conducted a series of ground and flight acoustic sound testing for the F-15EX fighter. The two-week testing was conducted at Eglin Air Force Base range. This marks the first time that such in-depth digital acoustic testing was carried out on a USAF’s F-15 model and GE-129 engines. The tests were initiated by the Department of Defense specifically for the F-15EX fighter jet, as it is a new model in the USAF’s inventory.
