Boeing F/A-18 Block II vs Block III Super Hornet
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 тра 2020
- We just delivered the final F/A-18 Block II Super Hornet to the U.S. Navy. Hear from #F18 #SuperHornet chief test pilot Elliott “Hemo” Clemence about what game-changing capabilities the Block II brought for more than a decade, plus what the next-generation Block III will provide the U.S. Navy and international partners.

DCS: F18 Block 2
Boeing: There is another
Ngl but memes don't work here
@@cgoldstine441 why not
DCS has legacy and legacy block 2 is different than superhornet block 2.
@@cgoldstine441 ok boomer
My friend in Florida rebuilds the F-18 when times up on stressed out critical parts. Keep'em fly'in.
Thank you Northrop: For designing the YF-17
It’s amazing how it all started as an on paper evolution of the F-5 in the 60s and here we are
@@NickThePilotUSA Nope. It originated in the late 50's as the P-530 Cobra.
@@NickThePilotUSA hmmmm. if Wiki can be believed, the Cobra was part of the F-5 "family." I stand corrected . . . slightly. :) ALTHOUGH the dates were in the 50's.
Jeff Childs actually that’s incorrect. It started before p530. It started at N300 in 1967. p530 was the concept after N300 and before the YF-17 of which they made a mock-up of. If I could post photos on UA-cam I’d share it with you here.
I'd thank the Navy, followed by Northrop and McDonnell Douglas. The YF-17 lost the US Air force's Lightweight Fighter Competition and was dead at that point. But the Navy put out a requirement for a new Aircraft that was cheaper to operate then the F-14. Northrop enlarged there original design and McDonnell Douglas contributed by strengthening the undercarriage and making the aircraft carrier capable. The F-16s undercarriage is to light to take on carrier landings.
What a gorgeous plane. Those CFTs make the plane look like it’s got some huge lat muscles.
I remember when the Hornet was in development. The engineers said it was built for future growth and now look at this amazing fighter. The F-18 will go down in history just like the Tomcat.
I remeber when we replaced A7's at Cecil Field with them. Worked on a bunch of the electronic systems. Was a great time in my life.
@@kennethhicks2113 the last Gun Fighter!
Add a more swept back leading edge to that Hornet wing, and it should get more miles/per pound of fuel. Compare the F-15 leading edge wing sweep with that of the hornet
@@uwekonnigsstaddt524 I like your thought pattern!
Orgeeba Harvin honestly the f 18 is a jet above most others very great jet
I like Boeing and the F18 Platform but I sure wish the "Super Tomcat" would have gotten approval.
Here here
@Allan 112358 it was the next edition from the 14D it was like the current F/A-18F
Apparently the navy regrets retiring the F14 with growing tension in the south asian sea, navy needs a interceptor.
@Joshua N. Ajang I read way back when they took the best pilot from the navy and best pilot from the airforce and pitted the F14 up against the F15. I'm no expert but in this contest the F14 won.
@Joshua N. Ajang No idea
As a Brit on exchange with the USN some 40 years ago - 78-81 - I spent much time with McD Douglas as it was then - I was involved with the AV-8B development, but the F-18 programme (program) worked in parallel at the time.
What a great company to work with - they knew/know how to build the aircraft that we numpties want to fly.
I would now love to fly anything they build - especially if I was 50 years younger!
A-4, F-4, AV-8A/B/C/B+/F-15A/B/C/D/E/F -18A/B/C/D/E/F and anything else that they have built that I have missed!!
Great company - although I wish they were still McD Douglas rather than Boeing!!
Loved my visits to them at St Louis
Do well, McD Douglas/Boeing
Thank you for your service !
From the YF-17 Cobra all the way up to here...
From the F-5 all the way up to here
Yes this plane was designed by Northrop not Boeing lets get the record straight

@@diegoferrr6173 // So what are you saying? This is the jet that God flies???
The block III definitely smooths our the lines of the aircraft. Almost like going from 80s to 90s to now where the have really perfected smoothing out cars for better aerodynamics.
I love F 18. The way they sound is awesome. I like them way more than the F 16.
I hope, at least the Block III will get the F414 EPE engines, finally. The Block I and Block II F414 engines are more than 25 years old and even if it was around 30% more powerful, than the old F404, it was not enough powerful to the much heavier Super Hornet. The EPE is ready long time ago, but neither the Boeing, nor the US Navy were interested in it. I don’t know, why. The other old bug is the weird, canted pylons, which were the most bizarre “engineering” solution of a too lately revealed design issue. Because of the airflow around the new intakes, from the original straight pylons, the dropped bombs and fuel tanks could collide to the fuselage. Instead of a proper new position of the pylons, the McDD’s engineers just turned outwards the pylons, to generates a twisting aerodynamic force to preventing the collision. During the era, when Boeing bought the McDonnel Douglas Co, there was no time/money to make a correct redesign. The result is a much higher drag, far less range and more stress on the airframe. The Super Hornet lost all range and speed advance on the legacy Hornet, what was demanded. In 2020, if Boeing would like to beat Lockheed and the performance of the F-35 family, somehow has to solve these old issues.
I realize this is an old issue, but to update on what has happened since this video was posted: The Block III wasn't planned to get the F414 EPE engines. The reason is quite simple: No one, in the US or elsewhere, was willing to pay what it would cost to actually develop the EPE, which is a "paper" engine. There were parties interested in looking at the EPE as long as someone else paid the large sum of money necessary to develop it. No one thought the benefit gained was worth the upfront cost. The Super Hornet has not been a big success in export sales. Australia bought them without competition because they felt it would be a good placeholder until they could get the plane they really wanted, the delayed F-35. Kuwait bought them to replace its aging Classic Hornets, but they bought Typhoons as well. Aside from those two, there have been no export sales of the Super Hornet that might produce a market that would be interested in developing the EPE. Boeing's losing Super Hornet bid to India included the EPE, but that meant India would have to shoulder the development costs, a prospect that didn't appeal to them. The other nations that are building aircraft that use the F414 (Sweden, Korea and India) aren't producing enough to justify the cost to develop the EPE.
The problem with the wing pylons on the Super Hornet, is that by having six instead of four the inner ones were too close to the fuselage and there were safety concerns about launching powered ordnance off the inner pylons. This wasn't discovered until flight test. If you look at the first Super Hornet prototypes, they had straight pylons,; angling them out on later airframes was done to make the pylons usable for weapons launching.
Boeing has no illusions about competing with the F-35, but was hoping to sell it as a cheaper alternative if you didn't need all the F-35 could do. . However, whatever you may think about the plane, the F-35 has won every contest in which it was entered. Boeing was going to shut the Super Hornet line in 2025, but Congress directed the Navy to buy 17 more, so that has been postponed until 2027.
Canada: shut up and take my money
Honestly Canada needs interceptor type aircraft
@@invertedv12powerhouse77 almost anything is better than what they have. I bet Canada will not buy a new fighter for 20 or more years.
@@corey8420 F/A18 C/D's are still pretty competitive. Because that's what they basically are. The problem is they are ancient now, airframes are getting worn out
@@invertedv12powerhouse77 I believe a vast majority if not all of their fighter are A and B.
@@corey8420 they are upgraded. Have been for nearly 20years. They are practically C/D's, info you find online is outdated anyways
I remember reading about the yf in junior high back in 1980! I don't feel so old now!
E/A-18 is one of the best fight plane in this decade for sure!
Thats the electronic warfare version of the f18
That block III cockpit is sick......
Thanks exactly what I was looking for
John 3:16 For God so loved the word that he gave his only begotten Son so that whoever believes in him should not parish but have ever lasting life.
Malaysia should be get this fighter F/A-18F.....new technology design...I like it...
Lucky Guy to have flown it for most of his Career!! F 18 is a beast of a machine!!
Man I like these fighters, they look even better aircraft with those CFTs mounted on top of the fuselage.
im awaiting for the Black Wasp version tho. gotta have that stealth
My man.
Disregard F-35C lame duck, make F/A-181 a reality
I like that and it looks really nice, there is also a Growler variant; it might be block 3 but the other equivalent looks like Lego Blocks.
And a continued F-14 upgrade program would STILL have produced a superior fighter. The Hornet's only advantage was that it made the Navy's calculator and pocket protector crowd happy.
I see a lot of comments here talking about a tomcat 21. I would like to see one also , that said i think most people would be disappointed, since it would end up being similar to the super hornet. There would have been a conversion of power to reliability, lower fuel consumption and easy of maintenance on the engines. The fuselage would have to be adjusted for partial stealth. The weapon system would end up being similar to the hornet since something like the aim -54 would have problems operating today and in logistic terms making things as uniform was possible since we are not living in the cold war , where budgets would flex in response to your enemy. All of that would have impact on the "new tomcat" . There is a logic behind the Hornet being what it is and despite multiple advancements and redesigns to never reach the performance of the f-14, - the requirements of the US Navy. .
Featured pilot:
"...it's the airplane I grew up flying."
"...it's a very dependable and capable airplane."
But does he love flying it? Then again, the only time I can remember seeing a pilot jumping up and down with joy when (test) flying a jet was every time Paul Metz stepped out of a yf-23. In short, when asked, "Is it cool?" His response is all you need to know! Smiled the entire time. Though he didn't seem too enthused by the yf-22. Anyway, we know how that story went.
Just wish they would've designed the 'super hornet' to where its redesigned engine inlets where extended further towards the cockpit, closer to the front landing gear, to where it met flush with the trailing edge of the wing. That way, they'd have more area for external hard points to mount dead weight to the underbelly of the plane and not just its wings.
Is it possible to Integrate the Internal IRST Pod in front of the landing gear on E version of block 3 (single seat)?
Great video 👍
F-18 has always been my favorite airplane military or civilian
Same
The F/A18 Super Hornet kinda looks like a hornet
The US Navy has some great strike packages with the F18 Superhornets and F18 Growlers.
*E18 growlers.
@@East_Coast_Toasty_Boy
E, F, E/F They are all Superhornets.
@@altonwilliams7117 The growler is a G, not an E or an F.
@@altonwilliams7117 Also, I didn't say it WASN'T a Super Hornet, I'm saying that THAT one has a different designation, cuz it's configured differently.
@@altonwilliams7117 Unless you're confused with the "E" and "F" designations. The "F" and "E" in the beginning of the name isn't the model, it's a designation of what type of aircraft it is. "F" means it's an air-to-air fighter, "A" means it's a ground attack aircraft, and "E" means it's an electronic attack aircraft. Which is why the Hornet is designated as "F" AND "A" in "F/A-18, and the Growler variant of the Hornet is "E" AND "A" in "E/A-18" because they can do both respectively. Sorry for the wall of text.
I love the F18 the way most people love the A10.
Taliban hates the A-10.
Starting with Northrop 156 to Northrop F-5 to Northrop YF-17 to McDonell (Boeing) F-18.
Imma try remaking this in KSP lol
Are the new overwing conformal fuel tanks standard on the block III, or are they just the on Advanced Super Hornet demonstrator?
Operational Block III Super Hornets will have conformal fuel tanks for more range and less drag.
Boeing when will we see the first production Block IIIs? I assume several will be out before the procurement date
Block III flight test aircraft will be delivered in the coming weeks. Operational Block III aircraft will be delivered next year.
Boeing will some Block II’s be upgraded fully or partially to Block III specs? I know SLEP is coming, but flight displays, datalink, cft’s etc?
@@SwingLowLeft yes, the will be upgraded to block III, I can't remember where I saw that info, but many will be.
No idea why almost nobody comments on boeings videos...
Great job
For me I like f18 with large area display but to have new capability on stealth capability that will be awesome
Where can I buy one of these...?
those F414 GE engines are in need of a serious update. The F-18 is getting heavier and heavier. Hopefuly a revised engine is in the works for the f18 platform?
Woah that cockpit is awesome but doesn't look like a hornet anymore ;(
It's called progress
GO RHINO!!! Keep 'em flying!!
The Block 3 one isn't shown here but it looks a bit more different.
When are the Growlers getting that?
Conformal fuel tank
How much is the weight increase though? And are there more powerful engines being installed?
They're part of the upgrades
I would HOPE so.
Even today, I do not believe that my Brazil did not choose this aircraft.
Excellent stuff bro
When will the Kuwaiti Air force receive the SH block 3 and is it true they will be without CFT ?
Thanks
They're being produced right now, May, 2020
And correct, without CFT
Why doesn't have CFT?
next update for DCS ?
It's HEMO, used to be at lockheed.
What's truly remarkable is that this design started in the late 1950's as the P-530 Cobra.
Late 1960s was the P530 cobra. Late 1950s was the T-28/F-5.
T-28 and F-5 were different family of aircraft. The Cobra was the YF-17 lightweight fighter competitor developed by Northrop.
Ah yes super hornet my favorite aircraft i even wanted to have the model toy it took me two times and the second time i got it what i wanted and the first one i do have but i lost it :(
Sweet looking jet
Rest In piece block II. You will be missed.
Love from Pakistan!!!
For this awesome aircraft
Chup be badwe😑
For the last 2 years, it seems Boeing can't even make a functional paper bag. But I do believe They did and are doing an amazing job with the F-18.
Might get this for my mom next mothers day it might fit in the ol backyard
Nice aircraft!!!!!
Looking forward to block IV, significantly less cost than the F35 with outstanding capabilities. Also, a huge export opportunity for the free World markets.
Block III is the last F/A-18 variant. The US Navy will stop ordering Hornets starting in 2021 after the delivery of the Block IIIs. From there they plan to focus on improving the joint strike fighter and development of the F/A-XX fighter
i don't know jack squat about planes but that looks cleannn
Awesome F/18 SUPER HORNET !😎👍🏿
Any irst onboard?
How is the new f15 eagle? Does it have better engies, stelth, new cockpit?? Are there any details about it? Srry for my bad English (i am dutch)
Yes type in F-15EX!
can block 2 be fitted with block 3 avionics etc??
All U.S. Navy Block IIs will be converted to Block III aircraft via Service Life Modification.
Can the block 2 be upgraded to the block 3?
Are any fighters using all carbon fiber airframes?
I have engineered advanced 3D carbon and carbon/carbon fiber braiding for advanced applications, ideal for fighter airframes. High strength, low radar signature and good radar absorption. Adding Nomex fibers into the composite mix adds additional fire and heat resistance in critical areas while incorporating advanced high strength honeycomb 3D technologies.
You should be talking to Boeing directly and not here in the comment section. 😁
Do you have a POC at Boeing?
@@icare7151 i don't think that's a hard question to ask... Boeing has as one of my mates is going to start to work for them soon.......
@MXT Awesome, I have technology I have developed that needs a home and Boeing is an perfect fit. It would be awesome to work for Boeing.
@@icare7151 polymer science for the win. go get 'em
คุณเชื่อข้อมูลที่แท้จริงดีกว่ากองทัพเรือสหรัฐให้ความสนใจเครื่องบิน f18 มากกว่าเขาจัดหาอย่างต่อเนื่องน่าจะมีถึง 600 ลำจาก f35 อาจจะมีแค่ 100 ลำเท่านั้น
Boeing:I used F 18 to destroy F 18
I wish the Royal Australian Air Force had stuck with the Super Hornet. Now equipped with Growlers, Block III Super Hornets would have been a more efficient and effective capability than the F-35.
Thank you "John Knudsen Northrop "
touch screen technology? - definitely an idea from the alien UFO's captured decades ago...
Oh wow Hemo left Lockheed and went to Boeing!
I hope RMAF can get 10 at least for F/A-18 (Hornet and Super Hornet) MRCA squadron besides Flanker MKM and other candidates(Eurofighter Typhoon, Dassault Rafale, F-35 B) who replace Fulcrum M.
come on Boeing, come out of this max debacle...we need you.
What happened to the Advanced Super Bug?
Great can't wait for the DCS version 🤣 sweet aircraft though
Lol we don't even have the super hornet yet. We probably end up getting the gripen before this
Significant upgrade. Should just call it the f18G
It already exists, it's called the E-18 Growler. It replaced the E-6 Prowler as the electronic warfare aircraft.
Sheesh 3 yrs old already
Eagle Dynamics better get on this, and where's our Longbow!?
malaysia need a few..come on in..
Excellent! Question: Can anyone tell me what advantage there is in purchasing an F vs an E variant?? I've read all the specs on both, but apart from the F being a two-seater (WSO), I don't see the rationale. But I'm a former Army guy, so... ;-)
The E variant is a heavier and modified version of the F. It's made for electronic warfare rather than being a fighter. It can defend its self if it has to, but it's not quite as maneuverable as the F variant.
@@hentaitittyhunter9946 - I'm confused here. I thought the EA-18G Growler was the EW Variant.
@@brendanr.ogorman3586 it is
@@brendanr.ogorman3586 I might be misunderstanding your question then
Right On Go Army!
Malaysia should procure the Block III Super Hornet up to 3 squadrons. It should complement existing F/A-18D and Flanker fleets to deter the South China Sea aggresor PLA.
Subscribed from Pakistan
Cool plane! ✈️
And by when do they plan to integrate into the F-18 Block III the vector nozzle engines that add greater maneuverability, as well as their Russian counterparts..??
มันอยู่ที่การเมืองรัสเซียด้วยยังทำตัวเป็นอันธพาลก็ต้องจัดถ้าไม่ได้ f18 +3 กับ f 35 รุ่น C
I bet it has that new fighter jet smell
You did nt tell us the difference and or the upgrades. Believe it or not some of us know a little about them and want more information
Block III Super Hornets will add longer range, reduced radar signature and an enhanced communication system. The fighter’s life will also be extended from 6k to 10k hours.
I am curious as to what 'Block' means...
@VFA-102S Diamondbacks I was more curious why the term is called 'Block' really
Center stick control?????? Ancient
if it ain't broke , don't fix it
Center stick has some advantages. It's easier to steady it with your left while you take your right hand off the stick to use the displays or upfront controls.
Uh oh....F-16 guy in the comments.
If Canada won’t buy the F-35 then at least get the block III
Canada can't even pay their grunts, you think they're going to buy new planes when help is just south or west of the border?
It’s ok Canada, you can have our second hand F/A-18s, best regard from Australia 👍🇦🇺🇨🇦
R Soul they're spoken for! An American businessman poached the lot!
Dolly Rancher Canada bought 25, but I didn’t know about the deal you spoke of until you just told me. The man in question bought 46 for agressor training. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I had no idea 👍
It's pretty cool for him, isn't it. Good on Canada for adding to her fleet
Much better than the max
Friendship ended with F-35C, now F/A-18E Block III is my new best friend
Don't let it crash like 737 max
น่าสนใจนี่ก็ 4.9 จะหาอยู่ 5
swiss navy using these planes also!😊
switzerland do not have a navy
That is hot
ทั้งคอร์สการฝึกยุทธวิธีการออกแบบมันเหมาะมากสำหรับอนาคต 10 ปีข้างหน้า
Essentially the JF-17 and F-18 had a baby but the baby took 93% of the F-18s genetics.
i'm Waiting this plane fight with sukhoi su35 😁
so lend a few to Israel !!!
The only way that happens is if China picks a fight with Malaysia or Australia.
