F-18 Advanced Super Hornet

[BON PLAN]

Super Hornet does not need often wing replacement. The problem was early on during the testing of the initial batch wing there was "wing drop" problems during tactical maneuvers. But this has not been solved and there was no need then and no need now for wing replacements. Just adjustments on the setting and software. In fact you could see the maneuvering prowess of the Super Hornet in airshows (complete with weapons):


Impressive I must say even without TVC...

Not so impressive.
"With weapons" : 8 AtoA missile. even if they are mot mockup, it's 1100kg.... and the plane roll slowly, not very aggresiv on each manoeuver. Another truck !

Better Eyes for F-18 Super Hornets

Strange ! Some planes shown here are F18 A/B/C/D , not Super Hornets.....

YES.
Actual and foreseable futur UCAV will be trucks. Bomb trucks, reco trucks, EW trucks.

It's why you absolutely not need a truck with a pilot Inside : F35. You need a very agile and versatile fighter apart a truck UCAV.

Sir, F-35 has better EW package. It can take care of your super duper trucks. Don't worry.

And you cry for versatile fighter....?
F-35 can adopt entire GAU-8 Avenger in it.
Now smell some coffee.

Rafale does the job perfectly. And can supercruise, carry 10tons of payload, 9G+ ...

Many thanks for letting us know.

And now see you later.

Last I heard this problem was specific with naval variant if F-18 SH that had folding wings.
Air-Force variant that used non-folding wings didn't face such problem.
Can someone conform.

F18a-e all reportedly had this problem?

Imo Boeing maybe changing or closing production of the super hornet ? This rmaybe the last sale if India buys this will keep lines open longer and keep jobs.
USA did same thing with f16 to pak.

Sir, all are waiting for your answer, anyway.

And I saw it , your first few posts in early days of MRCA.

You said ............ 55% chances are there for Rafale and 45% chances for F/A-18.

I think the original order of rafaele was a good choice
