About the F/A-18F Super Hornet:
The multi-mission F/A-18E/F "Super Hornet" strike fighter is an
upgrade of the combat-proven night strike F/A-18C/D. The Super Hornet will
provide the battle group commander with a platform that has range, endurance,
and ordnance carriage capabilities comparable to the A-6 which have been
retired.
The F/A-18E/F aircraft are 4.2 feet longer than earlier Hornets, have a 25%
larger wing area, and carry 33% more internal fuel which will effectively
increase mission range by 41% and endurance by 50%. The Super Hornet also
incorporates two additional weapon stations. This allows for increased payload
flexibility by mixing and matching air-to-air and/or air-to-ground ordnance. The
aircraft can also carry the complete complement of "smart" weapons,
including the newest joint weapons such as JDAM and JSOW.
