The F-15 S/MTD (Short Take-Off and Landing/Maneuver Technology Demonstrator) is an experimental F-15 Eagle model developed for experiments on the effects of thrust vectoring technology on aircraft maneuverability.
History
Strangereal
In the Strangereal world, the F-15 S/MTD was developed in the Osean continent as a testbed for research on air combat maneuvering, being outfitted with 2D thrust vectoring nozzles and canards that provided it with a level of mobility previously unachieved by previously existing Eagle series members. It was repeatedly tested in simulated battles, where it proved successful enough for its makers to authorize its entry to service as a combat fighter.[1]
The S/MTD was acquired by the Osean Air Force and the Belkan Air Force during the Cold War, with the Osean Sorcerer Squadron being one of the most notable fighter units to have operated the jet. During the Belkan War, Belkan pilots Darius "The Guillotine" Hertzsch and Sigwald Entenmann manned S/MTDs during the Allied Forces' offensive against Belka, while Sorcerer retained theirs in their defection to A World With No Boundaries.[1]

- "TYPE: M (Multirole)
An experimental aircraft developed to increase maneuverability and designed for short takeoff and landing abilities. An electronic control system simultaneously operates the horizontal stabilizer, 2DCD thrust-vectoring nozzle, and canard wings, resulting in turning performance that exceeds the capabilities of conventional multirole aircraft. The oversized canard wings provide a large degree of dynamic lift allowing for increased maneuverability and stability during stall recovery, regardless of speed. S/MTD stands for "Short Takeoff and Landing/Maneuver Technology Demonstrator."" - ― Hangar description

Trivia
- In Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, the F-15 S/MTD was erroneously portrayed as an F-15 ACTIVE, despite having the two-dimensional thrust vector nozzles of the STOL/MTD. Although both are based from the same TF-15B prototype, they were considered entirely separate aircraft by its main operators in NASA.
- The game's hangar description also contains major errors, describing it as possessing ACTIVE (Advanced Control Technology for Integrated VEhicles) technology and "forward-swept wings". However, the latter fact is partly correct, as the F-15 uses lightly swept wings.
- Additionally in Ace Combat Infinity, the default paint scheme features visible United States Air Force roundels on the nose and main wing despite the fact that this aircraft was built for the United Nations Forces.
- In the Italian version of Ace Combat Infinity, the F-15 S/MTD Event Skin #02 has the description of the F-22A Event Skin #04.
