McDonnell-Douglas / Northrop F / A-18 Hornet is a settled hunter and attack plane that can work in all kinds of weather conditions. The roots of F / A-18 are based on 1974 and the F-17 prototype that attracted the attention of the US Navy Command this year. The contract for the mass production of the aircraft was signed in 1976. In order to accelerate the work, Northrop cooperated with McDonnell-Douglas. As a result, a test flight of the prototype was held on November 18, 1978, and a year later, successful landings were made to the aircraft carrier. Since 1982, the aircraft has been delivered to linear units using General Electric F404-Ge-402 engines as the drive unit. The aircraft is produced in several versions. First, F-18A (Avcı) and F-18b (training) models were used. External orders from Spain, Canada and Australia have emerged rapidly. In 1987, a F-18c version adapted to the use of Amraam missiles was developed. A year later, the F/A-18D, a two-person version of the F-18, was put into service under all kinds of weather conditions and could be used as an offensive aircraft. On this basis, the discovery version of R/F-18D was developed. The latest versions (called Super Hornet) -F/A-18E and F/A-18F- are significant modified versions of F/A-18D. Body lengths, wing openings and surface areas are increased. They also have new general Electric F414 engines and significant expanded and modernized avionics. They were first introduced in 1995. EA-18G Growler Electronic Warm aircraft was also based on the F-18. All versions of F/A-18 have gained the appreciation of the pilots and stand out with low fault ratio, ease of use and very good flight parameters. Hornetler joined the Libyan operation in 1986 and the desert storm operation in 1991. Technical Data (Version F/A-18 C): Maximum speed: 1915 km/h, climbing speed: 254 m/s, practical ceiling 15240 m, maximum range: 3340 km, operating radius: 280-740 km, armament: fixed-single 20mm M61a-1 six-barrel, hanging up to 7700 km.
