McDonnell-Douglas / Northrop F / A-18 Hornet is a settled war and attack plane that can serve in all kinds of weather conditions. The roots of F/A-18 extend to 1974 and this year to the F-17 prototype that attracted the attention of the US Navy Command. The contract on the serial construction of the aircraft was signed in 1976. The Northrop concern to accelerate the work collaborated with the concern of McDonnell-Douglas. As a result, the test flight of the prototype took place on November 18, 1978, and a year later, successful ups and downs on the aircraft carrier took place. Since 1982, the aircraft has been delivered to linear units where General Electric F404-GE-402 engines are used as a shipping unit. The aircraft is produced in various versions. The first was F-18A (fighter aircraft) and F-18B (training). Foreign orders from Spain, Canada and Australia appeared rapidly. In 1987, a version of F-18c adapted to the use of Amraam missiles was created. A year later, the F-18-seat version of the F-18 F/A-18D entered service under all kinds of weather conditions and was used as an attack plane. The discovery version of the R / F-18D was based on the basis. The latest versions (called super hornet) -F / A-18E and F / A-18F are highly modified versions of F / A-18D. They are characterized by increasing body length, wing opening and surfaces. It also has new general Electric F414 engines and absolutely expanded and modernized avionics. They were first presented in 1995. The EA-18G Growler Electronic fighter aircraft was also based on the F-18. All versions of F/A-18 have won the appreciation of the pilots; It stands out with its low fault ratio, ease of use and very good flight parameters.
