Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet
F/A-18E/F Super Hornet je středoplošný stíhací bombardér konvenční konstrukce s rozsáhlým využitím hliníkových slitin (31%), uhlíkových kompozitů (19%) a titanových slitin (21%), vzniklý vývojem ze stroje McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. Konstrukce využívá velkých dílů. Díky tomu se drak „Super Hornetu“ skládá jen z 8 100 součástí (oproti 14 100 u verze C/D). Letoun je uzpůsoben k provozu na letadlových lodích s charakteristikami CATOBAR.
The Boeing F/A-18E and F/A-18F Super Hornet are twin-engine, carrier-capable, multirole fighter aircraft variants based on the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. The F/A-18E single-seat and F/A-18F tandem-seat variants are larger and more advanced derivatives of the F/A-18C and D Hornet. The Super Hornet has an internal 20 mm M61 rotary cannon and can carry air-to-air missiles and air-to-surface weapons. Additional fuel can be carried in up to five external fuel tanks and the aircraft can be configured as an airborne tanker by adding an external air refueling system.
