ACTIVE stands for "advanced control technology for integrated vehicles." F-15 ACTIVE - The F-15 ACTIVE is a two-seater F-15 used in NASA research.F-15J Peace Eagle - A Japanese variation on the F-15C.
F-15I Thunder - An Israeli variation on the F-15E. There are many smaller changes throughout the plane. The biggest difference between the F-15C and the F-15E is the F-15E's extra cockpit station and its bombing capabilities. F-15E - A combination air-to-air fighter and air-to-ground bomber (also known as the F-15 Strike Eagle), the F-15E entered the Air Force arsenal in 1988. F-15D - This is the two-seater training-plane counterpart to the F-15C. The F-15C has improved electronics, greater engine power and increased fuel capacity. F-15C - An updated version of the F-15A, the Air Force added the F-15C in 1979. This plane has two pilot stations - one for an experienced instructor and one for a pilot in training. F-15B - The original F-15 training plane, the F-15B first flew in July 1973. Like the current F-15C, this plane is designed for a single pilot. F-15A - The original F-15 combat plane, the F-15A first flew in July 1972. The result was the F-15 Strike Eagle, designated F-15E. But when the Air Force needed a fighter bomber to replace the aging F-111 until the new stealth F-117 was ready, they decided to modify the F-15 for air-to-ground missions. It wasn't built to bomb targets on the ground because the Air Force knew that the extra equipment would compromise the plane's aerial combat abilities. 
The original F-15 Eagle was designed to handle only air-to-air targets (other planes). The current combat F-15 Eagle is the F-15C. The company has introduced several variations on this plane since then, as technology and needs have changed (see below). McDonnell Douglas (now merged with Boeing) won the contract for the new project and delivered the finished F-15 a few years later. fighter jet at the time, the F-4 Phantom, and in the heart of the Cold War, the Air Force needed a comparable aircraft as soon as possible. The MiG-25, commonly known as "the Foxbat," was far superior to the primary U.S. The United States Air Force commissioned the plane after they got a look at the MiG-25, a powerful fighter jet the Soviet Union unveiled in 1967.
