Plastic model of F/A-18F Super Hornet VFC-12 1:48 scale
The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is a larger and more advanced variant of the F/A-18C/D Hornet. A first version was marketed by McDonnell Douglas under the name Hornet 2000 in the 1980s. The Hornet 2000 concept was an advanced version of the F/A-18 with a larger wing, a longer fuselage to carry more fuel, and more powerful engines.
The fuselage of the F/A-18E/F has been lengthened by 860 mm to accommodate more fuel and future avionics upgrades, and the wing area has been increased by 25%. However, the Super Hornet has 42% fewer structural parts than the original Hornet model. The General Electric F414 engine, developed from the Hornet's F404, offers 35% more power. The Super Hornet can return to an aircraft carrier with a heavier load of unused fuel and ammunition than the original Hornet. This capability is known as "bringback." The Super Hornet's bringback exceeds 9,000 pounds (4,100 kg).
The Super Hornet made its first flight in 1995. Full-rate production began in September 1997. The Super Hornet entered service with the U.S. Navy in 1999, replacing the F-14 Tomcat since 2006.
