The Boeing F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet is a twin-engine, carrier-capable, multi-role fighter aircraft variant based on the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. The F/A-18E is a single-seat version and the F/A-18F is the tandem-seat variant. The Super Hornet has an internal 20 mm M61 rotary cannon and can carry air-to-air missiles and air-to-surface weapons. Additional fuel can be carried in up to five external fuel tanks and the aircraft can be configured as an airborne tanker by adding an external air-to-air refueling system.

Designed and initially produced by McDonnell Douglas, the Super Hornet first flew in 1995 with production starting in early 1997. The Super Hornet entered service with the United States Navy in 1999, replacing the Grumman F-14 Tomcat, which was retired in 2006.
