The Boeing F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet is an American twin-engine carrier-capable multi-role monoplane fighter, larger and more advanced than the F/A-18 C/D. The main variants are the F/A-18E (single-seat), F/A-18F (tandem-seat) and electronic warfare (EA-18G Growler). Designed for the US Navy, it first flew on November 29, 1995, entering service in September 2001 with VFA-115. The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) is the only other operator.
The F/A 18E/F uses two General Electric F414 after-burning axial-flow turbofan engines mounted side by side in the rear of the fuselage. The armament consists of one cannon in the nose. Eleven external hardpoints can carry up to 8,050 kgs (17,750 lbs) of stores.
