	F/A-18 Hornet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hornet was among the first aircraft to heavily utilize multi-function displays, which at the switch of a button allow the pilot to perform either fighter or attack roles or both.
		The Hornet is also notable for having been designed with maintenance in mind, and as a result has required far less downtime than its counterparts, the F-14 Tomcat and the A-6 Intruder.
		The Super Hornet has a stretched fuselage and larger wings, and leading-edge extensions; the GE F414 engines are a more powerful development of the F/A-18's F404; the avionics suite is upgraded but broadly similar.

	F/A-18E/F Super Hornet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Super Hornet was ordered from McDonnell Douglas in 1992, first flew in November 1995, made its first carrier landing in 1997 and entered service in 1999.
		The Super Hornet is only about 10,000 lb lighter than the F-14 Tomcat that was judged too expensive and large for a low-cost fighter, and even heavier than the original naval TFX specification that helped down the F-111B.
		The APG-79 radar is new for the Super Hornet.

	[2.0] Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet
		The critics seized on the Super Hornet's avionics as "antiquated" because it was the same as the Hornet I's, but as mentioned in the previous chapter, a Hornet I with the latest upgrades is by no means behind the times.
		Since the Navy is standardizing on the Super Hornet as its basic combat aircraft, a Super Hornet ECM had the advantage of being compatible with other Navy aircraft in terms of much of its logistics and its ability to operate with a strike package.
		Super Hornet boosters have strong responses to the critics in the Super Hornet's capabilities, many of which are unarguable, and in the fact that the development program was generally on time and on budget, providing justification for the claim that the Super Hornet was the right choice to keep Navy Air in business.

		Although the Super Hornet represents an evolutionary extension of the Hornet's basic design, it is a new aircraft incorporating a larger airframe, upgraded engines, greater survivability features, and a more powerful sting in its improved combat systems in both strike and fighter profiles.
		Preliminary assessments by pilots and maintenance personnel of all four Super Hornet squadrons indicate that the aspirations and expectations of aeronautical engineers at Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and NAVAIR are being met during the early months of the F/A-18E/F's introduction to the fleet.
		The student pilots had carrier qualified in the Super Hornet some weeks before, and the training mission was planned to give them some insights into the more advanced--and demanding--training they could expect after they report to their fleet squadrons.

	F/A-18 Hornet
		The F/A-18 "Hornet" is a supersonic, single seat (A and C models) or tandem seat (B and D models), twin engine, all weather, night, combined fighter and attack aircraft and can be refueled in flight.
		The F/A-18 Hornet replaced the F-4 Phantom II fighter and A-7 Corsair II light attack jet, and also replaced the A-6 Intruder as these aircraft were retired during the 1990s.
		A key aspect of the Hornet's popularity with pilots is the ease with which the aircraft can be converted from fighter to strike mode and back again; it's as easy as flipping a switch.

		Size is where the similarity between the Super Hornet and Eagle end, since the Super Hornet is optimised aerodynamically around the F/A-18A-D configuration, with a focus on transonic manoeuvre and load carrying performance, and carrier recovery characteristics.
		In terms of raw performance, the Super Hornet is very similar to the F/A-18C, but provides significantly better CAP endurance and operating radius by virtue of its larger wing and internal fuel load.
		Structurally the Super Hornet is built largely from aluminium alloys, with extensive use of carbon fibre composite skins in the wings, and titanium in several critical areas.

		With the success of the Super Hornet to be the next generation Navy multi-purpose fighter, Tomcat 21 was sadly cancelled, but can the Super Hornet E/F really fill up F-14s presence's as the Navy's next generation interceptor and fleet protector?
		Design to carry out both "air to air" and "air to ground" missions, the new generation of the F-18 Super Hornet offers more longer range, greater endurance, more payload-carrying ability, more powerful engines, increased carrier bring back capability, enhanced survivability and a renewed potential for future growth compared to its F-18 predecessor.
		While the Super Hornet might be the next generation of the navy super fighter, there has been doubt whether if it can carry out air to air combat in long range distance.

		Super Hornet can be played with a mouse and keyboard, though hardcore fans will surely want to employ the use of a joystick and throttle combination to handle the intense interface.
		Super Hornet possesses all of the feature sets necessary for flight operations, but none of them are memorable and surely won't excite players familiar with more stimulating products such as Jane's F-18.
		For example, the flight model in Super Hornet is generally good, though not as tight as I have come to expect from a DID product.
