The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is a twin-engine, carrier-capable, multirole fighter aircraft designed and built by Boeing. It is a larger and more advanced version of the original F/A-18 Hornet, and is used by the United States Navy as well as several other countries. The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet has a unique feature called the "multi-mission reconfigurable cockpit," which allows it to be easily configured for different mission requirements, such as air-to-air combat, air-to-ground strikes, and electronic warfare.

1:33 VFA-143 the “Pukin Dogs”, a strike fighter squadron that my father was a part of from ‘84-‘86! Of course, they still flew the F-14 Tomcat back in those days.

@nexpro6118 Год назад

Canceling the conformal fuel tanks was a bad decision, in my opinion. Obviously I'm not clued in on why the Navy decided to cancel that addition(maybe it caused too much drag or made certain maneuvers more dangerous to pull off or not able to pull off at all now for all we know) the fact that the US military/Navy has been complaining about how its, carrier fighters/aircraft have a low combat range compared to the ranges of older fighters from the 80s(F14) the Navy has stated numerous times how it really needs a fighter/multi strike role fighters that have a combat range of at least 900 to 1k miles. Right now, at best...the F18s have a combat range of 500 to 600 miles.

The Royal Australian Air Force bought the Super Hornet and Growlers as a stop gap measure between the retirement of the F111 and full strength of the F35. Now that the F35 is mostly up to strength, the talk about selling off the Super Hornets has been quietly dropped, and it seems Air Force is very happy with retaining the aircraft. I figure that its versatility and easy maintenance, and its many capabilities are being seen as very complimentary to the F35. I am very happy that it works so well in helping keep us all free, especially in light of Chinese and Russian aggression.

It wasn't really oil that the US elites were after. If you don't know, the Dollar is a fiat currency and the only thing holding its value is that its the world's reserve currency, known as the Petro-dollar. Sadam, who the US put in power, had found some new gold deposits and got a bunch of countries to sign on to making a new gold backed reserve currency. If that happened, it would have destroyed the value of the dollar and the US would have lost a LOT of power.

Can someone explain why the F-18 has a lower top speed compared to other fighter aircraft?

@dumdumbinks274 Год назад

Originally when modifying the YF-17 they had to strengthen the fuselage and landing gear, which resulted in major weight gains and reduced combat range. To compensate they had to use more fuel efficient engines, but that came at the cost of speed. Additionally, when they made the Super Hornet they were forced to give it canted pylons due to weapon release issues (they had potential to hit each other on launch with standard straight pylons). However this increased drag on the Super Hornet, which not only makes it slower than the original Hornet, but also the slowest fighter currently operational.
