F-18 Super Hornet

The Boeing F/A-18E and F Super Hornet were developed as substantially enlarged successors to the earlier Hornet. Entering United States Navy service around the beginning of the twenty-first century, they combined fighter and attack duties in carrier air wings. The E is single-seat and the F is two-seat, with structural and systems differences from the older F/A-18A through D family. Their history reflects the move toward multirole carrier aircraft, not merely a change of nickname applied to the same original airframe. Its enlarged airframe also affected carrier deck handling and maintenance arrangements. Multirole flexibility came from integrated systems and training, rather than simply attaching different weapons to an unchanged earlier Hornet.
