The McDonnell-Douglas / Northrop F/A-18 Hornet is an onboard fighter and attack aircraft capable of operating in all weather conditions. The roots of the F/A-18 date back to 1974 and the F-17 prototype, which the US Navy command became interested in that year. The contract for the series production of the aircraft was concluded in 1976. To speed up the work, the Northrop company entered into cooperation with the McDonnell-Douglas company. As a result, the prototype's test flight occurred on November 18, 1978, and a year later, successful landings on the aircraft carrier. Since 1982, the aircraft has been delivered to linear units with General Electric F404-GE-402 engines as the propulsion unit. The plane is produced in several versions. The first were the F-18A (fighter) and the F-18B (training). Foreign orders from Spain, Canada, and Australia quickly appeared. In 1987, a version of the F-18C was created, adapted for the use of AMRAAM missiles. A year later, the F/A-18D, a two-seater version of the F-18, entered service in all weather conditions, and could be used as an attack aircraft. On its basis, the R/F-18D reconnaissance version was created. The most recent versions (the so-called Super Hornet) - F/A-18E and F/A-18F are heavily modified versions of the F/A-18D. They are characterized by an increased fuselage length, wingspan, and surface area. They also have new General Electric F414 engines and decisively expanded and modernized avionics. They were first presented in 1995. The EA-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft was also created based on the F-18. All versions of the F/A-18 have pleased pilots, characterized by a low failure rate, ease of use, and very good flight parameters. The Hornets participated in the operation against Libya in 1986 and Operation Desert Storm in 1991. Technical data (F/A-18 C version): Maximum speed: 1915 km/h, climb speed: 254 m/s, practical ceiling 15,240 m, maximum range: 3340 km, operating radius: 280-740 km, armament: fixed - single, six-barrel 20 mm M61A-1 cannon, suspended - up to 7700 kg of load. Designed as the main fighter of the US Navy, the F-14 Tomcat could perform air superiority, escort, and attack missions and was, without a doubt, one of the most sophisticated and technologically advanced aircraft to have served on an aircraft carrier. The prototype machine flew on December 21, 1970, and the first planes were delivered to the US Navy four years later. The last Tomcat planes were deactivated only in 2006, which perfectly illustrates the high quality and great performance of this machine. The most innovative and characteristic solution of the F-14 are the wings with variable geometry. Controlled by computer or manually by the pilot, they can change their angle of attack from 20 degrees at minimum speed to 60 degrees at supersonic speeds. The variable geometry of the wings also allows for the ideal positioning of the wings when maneuvering tightly, thanks to which this powerful aircraft exhibits incredible maneuverability. The heart of the Tomcat's weapons system is the Hughes ANG-9 radar, usually cooperating with AIM-54A Phoenix air-to-air missiles with a range of up to 180 km. Being able to track and attack more than one target is especially important. No less important element of the armament, as shown by combat experience in the Vietnam War, is the cannon - in the F-14, the M-61 Vulcan mounted inside the hull, firing up to 6,000 rounds per minute! Of course, you can attach other types of weapons to the Tomcat, such as Sparrow, Sidewinder rockets, or various bombs. The F-14 also owes much of its success to the excellent power unit in the form of a pair of Pratt-Whitney TF30 engines with a thrust of 9300 daN with afterburning. Technical data: Maximum speed: 2480 km/h, climb speed: 153 m/s, practical ceiling 17100 m, maximum range: 3200 km, armament: fixed - single, six-barrel 20mm M61-A1 cannon, suspended - up to 6580 kg of load.
