Tirohia te wāhanga i raro nei, kātahi ka whakautu i te pātai i muri mai i te reo kotahi me te wāhanga:  Passage: I te Poutu-te-rangi 1981, i panuitia e te USAF te kaupapa Whakapaipai Tactical Fighter hei hoko i te whakakapi mo te F-111. I muri mai ka tapaina te kaupapa ko te whakataetae Dual-Role Fighter (DRF). I whakaarohia e te kaupapa he waka rererangi e kaha ana ki te whakarewa i nga misioni aukati o te rangi hohonu me te kore e hiahiatia he tautoko taapiri mai i te kaitautoko whawhai, te aukati ranei. I tukuna e General Dynamics te F-16XL, i tukuna e McDonnell Douglas te F-15E. Ko te Panavia Tornado hoki he kaitono, engari mai i te mea kaore i taea e te waka rererangi te kaha o te rererangi rererangi rererangi, me te mea ehara i te mea i hangaia e Amerika, kaore i tino whakaarohia.  Patai: He aha te tono a Douglas?
te F-15E
