It is a significant improvement over the F/A-18A/C Hornet and has evolved from a medium-sized carrier-based fighter jet focused on ground attack to a multi-role fighter jet capable of fighting for air superiority and attacking ground/sea targets.
The surfaces of this aircraft are coated with radar-absorbent material, which greatly reduces its radar signature and gives the aircraft stealth combat capabilities.
The F/A-18E has up to 11 suspension points and can carry almost the entire range of munitions used by the US Navy, including Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) and Joint Standoff Weapon.
As a key carrier-based fighter jet of the US Navy, the F/A-18E Super Hornet has participated in US combat missions around the world in recent years.
