The fictional F-15JK+ represents the bleeding edge of the F-15 Eagle's iconic air superiority role. It boasts enhanced maneuverability and electronic capabilities in order to assist its pilot in gaining the edge in a long or medium air-to-air combat scenario. However, implementation of its canard system comes at the expense of its internal cannon, limiting the Kai Plus to missile weaponry.
Description[]
The ultimate realisation of the F-15J family, the Kai Plus is the epotime of the F-15's air-to-air ability, with digitally controled point-reflex canards, thrust vectoring technology, and Stealth 0.5 to dominate its adversaries in any situation. The design is a further development of the already cutting-edge F-15 Kai, and was conceived after talks to acquire more advanced aircraft from foreign countries fell through. Despite this, the Kai + has cemented the Eagle's place at the bleeding edge of aerial combat technology, with technology such as advanced localised radar and the latest in automated pilot support systems.

Trivia[]
- The F-15JK+'s internal gun has been removed in order to mount its canard systems. Unfortunately, this greatly reduces the Kai Plus's close-in combat ability, which is rather counter-intuitive.
- The F-15JK+ was taken from the similarily named aircraft from the animation Patlabor 2.
