Historical Information

The ejection seat used in the F/A-18F Super Hornet is based on the Martin-Baker SJU-17 (NACES) seats, which are known for their advanced technical solutions and high level of safety. The F/A-18F aircraft is a two-seat version of the multirole fighter used by the United States Navy and the Australian armed forces. The Super Hornet entered service in the late 1990s and is still in use today for air operations worldwide – both in armed conflicts and during patrol or ground support missions. Its period of use spans the modern era.
