F-18 Hornet

The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet was developed as a carrier-capable fighter and attack aircraft for the United States Navy and Marine Corps. Its twin-engine design supported multirole operations, and the aircraft also served foreign air forces. Different versions carried changing sensors and weapons over long service careers. The original A/B and C/D Hornets served in both fighter and strike squadrons, and several foreign air forces adopted land-based examples. The larger F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is a separate development. Its development drew on Northrop’s YF-17 demonstrator, adapting the basic twin-engine fighter concept to naval requirements, carrier handling, and a broader range of missions.
