Le chasseur de supériorité aérienne est destiné à l'interception aux altitudes basses et moyennes, tout en conservant de bonnes aptitudes à haute altitude. Son appellation traduit la volonté de le rendre supérieur à l'adversaire dans des rencontres entre chasseurs, alors que l'intercepteur est surtout destiné à être opposé aux bombardiers ennemis. [...] Le «F-15» américain correspond à cette définition.

CONT

«avion de supériorité aérienne» : Dans la panoplie des armes de l'armée de l'air, le YF-16 est, davantage que le YF-17, complémentaire des avions de supériorité aérienne F-14 et F-15, dont les programmes sont fixés et, à ce titre, il ne risque pas de remettre ceux-ci en cause devant le Congrès pour des questions budgétaires.
