Historical Overview and Application:

The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is a multirole fighter developed by McDonnell Douglas and Boeing, introduced into US Navy service in the late 1990s. It is currently the backbone of the United States' carrier-based aviation, used in operations in the Middle East such as Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. The use of closed exhaust nozzles allows for a realistic depiction of the Super Hornet at low thrust settings, for example, while parked or during landing approach.
