McDonnell Douglas MD-12 aircraft concept. In 1992, McDonnell Douglas unveiled a study of a double deck jumbo-sized aircraft designated MD-12. [36] [61] Despite briefly leaving the market, the study was perceived as merely a public relations exercise to disguise the fact that MDC was struggling under intense pressure from Boeing and Airbus.
The aircraft used for the project was pre-production TF-15A (F-15B) No. 1 (USAF S/N 71-0290), the first two-seat F-15 Eagle built by McDonnell Douglas (out of 2 prototypes [2]), the sixth F-15 off the assembly line, and was the oldest F-15 flying up to its retirement. It was also used as the avionics testbed for the F-15E Strike Eagle program. [3]

Additionally, the F-15E had two engines, which gave it a much higher maximum takeoff weight and redundancy in the case of engine failure. [9] [note 4] In February 1984, the USAF awarded the ETF contract to McDonnell Douglas. [10] [11] [12] The two F-16XLs were returned to the Air Force and placed in storage at Edwards Air Force Base.
