RE: Ailerons vs. Elevons on F-15
I guess I am "old" school as I don't trust Elevons as the only flight controls. If you lose one servo ,or linkage from one servo, you have no chance to save the aircraft. With ailerons AND elevator control you may have a chance. Besides on a plane that big what are you saving. Weight don't matter. Money on servos?, not when the price of the turbine is involved.
Food for thought.....................
