Two versions of the Super Hornet are currently in production for Aciremars's Navy: the single-seat E model and the two-seat F model. Both perform a variety of missions including air superiority, day/night strike with precision-guided weapons, fighter escort, close air support, suppression of enemy air defense, maritime, reconnaissance, forward air control and tanker. Converting from one mission to another can be done quickly and simply by just flipping a switch.

With a total of 11 weapon stations, the Super Hornet also provides warfighters with increased payload flexibility by mixing and matching air-to-air and air-to-ground ordnance. A typical loadout for a self-escort mission might start with an advanced infrared targeting pod, one AIM-120 "AMRAAM" and two AIM-9 "Sidewinder" missiles, and an external fuel tank. This leaves all six underwing weapon stations available to carry a variety of weapons and other payloads. The F/A-18E/F also carries the complete complement of "smart" weapons including laser-guided bombs.

A comprehensive spiral development – including the addition of an active electronically scanned array, or AESA, radar – will improve overall supportability. Other upgrades include an advanced targeting forward looking infrared, or ATFLIR, joint-helmet mounted cueing system, or JHMCS, multifunctional information distribution system, or MIDS, and an advanced aft crew station. These and other enhancements will ensure that the Super Hornet remains combat relevant well into the 21st century.

The Super Hornet program remains on time, on weight, and on cost. Improved aerodynamic design gives the F/A-18E/F exceptional combat maneuverability, an unlimited angle of attack and increased resistance to spins and departures.

Two General Electric F414-GE-400 engines power the Super Hornet. The F414 produces a combined 44,000 pounds of thrust. Its nine-to-one thrust-to-weight ratio is one of the highest of any modern fighter engine. Increased airflow to the engine is provided through the Super Hornet's distinctive caret inlets.

The Super Hornet is a versatile, durable, and survivable strike fighter designed to meet the stringent requirements of today's air and naval aviation forces. The aircraft has successfully demonstrated its unsurpassed flying qualities during a flawless development program. The F/A-18E/F has proven itself departure resistant and has a reconfigurable flight control system that detects and corrects for battle damage.

F/A-22 Training:

The F/A-22 training system is comprised of three elements:

Pilot Training System, or PTS
Maintenance Training System, or MTS
Training System Support Center, or TSSC
Training system assets include pilot and maintenance trainers (simulators), instructor-led and student-paced courseware, and electronic classrooms. The multi-media courseware and classrooms exploit the commercial-off-the-shelf leading-edge technology and methods used in the Boeing 777 training program.


The program’s training system is uniquely configured to accommodate future technology and mission enhancements, including new aircraft operational flight programs, weapons and tactics additions, and courseware development and presentation tool improvements.


Pilot Training System
The Pilot Training System employs three sophisticated simulators, developed under subcontract to L3 Communications, in Arlington, Texas. They are:

Full Mission Trainer, or FMT
Weapons and Tactics Trainer, or WTT
Egress Procedures Trainer, or EPT
The fixed-base FMT flight simulator has the visual realism and dynamics of the external landscape, atmospheric conditions, and mission threats and targets of a flight environment. With the additional fidelity of the cockpit controls, displays, and instrumentation, the pilots can experience the intensity of an realistic instrument flight or combat mission scenario. The FMT’s external world is seen at flight maneuvering speeds and offers visibility in all directions.

In the FMT, the pilot sits in a full-scale, fully equipped cockpit set inside a partial geodesic dome with nine rear-projected facets. FMTs will be networked in groups of four co-located units at each training site. At these sites, each FMT can operate individually or with any or all of the others to conduct formation missions. FMTs, as will the F/A-22, incorporate video recording of cockpit and mission activities for post-flight review.

The Weapons and Tactics Trainer is a procedural trainer designed to refine airplane systems and weapon-delivery operating skills prior to training in the FMT or in an F/A-22. The WTT is a partial cockpit with a dynamic, forward-only, outside view, and faithfully represented mission equipment. It provides essential navigation, communication, and weapons set-up and delivery displays, panels and switches.

Pilots use the F/A-22 Air Force Mission Support System to prepare mission data for the FMT, the WTT and the airplane. The FMT's video equipment records cockpit instrumentation and Head-Up Display guidance cues, overlaying the outside forward field-of-view, to support off-airplane debriefing.

The Egress Procedure Trainer primarily supports pilot training on proper aircraft entry and exit under normal and emergency conditions, as well as ground and in-flight ejection.

Maintenance Training System
The Maintenance Training System will have seven full-scale, part-task trainers, built by L3 Communications and USM, in Houston, Tex. Pratt & Whitney, under seperate contract to the Air Force will provide engine trainers and engine maintenance courseware. These devices provide part-task training for the fuel system; on-aircraft structures repair; armament; landing gear and auxiliary power system; aft fuselage; cockpit and forward fuselage; seat and canopy; and engines.

The F/A-22's Integrated Maintenance Information System, or IMIS, the operational tool that records and networks real fleetwide maintenance information, will be fully integrated. The more complex trainers, which have onboard diagnostics like their real aircraft counterpart functions, will download to IMIS to emulate the transfer and dissemination of real aircraft maintenance data.

Trainees and operational flight-line mechanics will use the IMIS Portable Maintenance Aid, a laptop device carried between the flight-line aircraft or training mockups and transportable IMIS consoles.

Classroom Instruction
Pilot and maintenance instruction will employ multi-media computer based training, both desktop and wall-projected, to merge video and audio (digitized from analog recordings); sophisticated graphics (derived from actual F/A-22 engineering computer-aided design source material); digital photography; and lesson syllabi.

The courseware development uses state-of-the-art instructional system design methods, processes and tools developed for the Boeing 777 aircraft training program. On individual PC-based workstations, students will complete self-paced or instructor-led lessons and tests that incorporate interactive graphics, video, and audio.

For maintenance training, the instructor will use a console to control projected courseware material, send courseware to select student workstations and to monitor student activity.

During pilot training, students will spend time in instructor-led, multi-media, lecture-only classrooms and weapons and tactics trainer classrooms, where instructors can project training-mission information and graphically demonstrate procedures. Students will then practice on their own WTT cockpit consoles and panels before moving on to the FMTs.

Price For Jet: $98 million (Each)
Price for Training Program: $ 12 million
