The F-15E Strike Eagle is a dual-role fighter designed for air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. It is a larger and more advanced version of the F-15 Eagle, with the ability to carry more weapons and fuel.

The maximum takeoff weight of the F-15E Strike Eagle is approximately 81,000 pounds (36,700 kilograms), which includes the weight of fuel, weapons, and external stores. This makes it one of the heaviest fighter aircraft in the world.

The F-15E Strike Eagle is powered by two Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229 engines, each producing up to 29,000 pounds of thrust. This allows the aircraft to reach a maximum speed of Mach 2.5 at high altitude.

In addition to its maximum takeoff weight, the F-15E Strike Eagle has a maximum range of approximately 2,400 nautical miles (4,400 kilometers) without aerial refueling, and a combat radius of approximately 1,000 nautical miles (1,850 kilometers) with a full weapons load.
