The Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet is a modern twin-engine, carrier-capable, single-seat fighter aircraft derived directly from the original McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet design.
Larger and heavier than its predecessor, it is characterized by significantly improved flight and combat performance. Striking evolutionary design changes are best seen in the revised wing shape, which can ensure maximum performance, especially in terms of maneuverability.
Further design improvements can also be seen in the newer intake hoods for the engines and in the improved rear design.
The aircraft originally entered service with the United States Navy in the early 2000s to replace the F-14 Tomcat, with the primary role of fleet air defense.
It is one of the most effective carrier-based fighters due to its longer operational range and the introduction of improved avionics systems.
It is armed with a 20mm M61 autocannon and can carry air-to-air missiles mounted on underwing attachment points.
In its secondary attack role it can employ an extensive range of air-to-ground weapons.
