In unveiling its "stealthy" F-15 Silent Eagle concept on March 17, Boeing did not make any direct comparison between the level of low observability achievable with the Silent Eagle and the level of stealth of the Lockheed Martin F-35. Nor did Boeing comment on the F-35's level of stealth. Instead, says Boeing spokesman Damian Mills, the company was trying to make the point that the Silent Eagle could meet the level of stealth approved by the US Government for release to international customers.
