can i get some infodumping about the f/a-18e/f super hornets pls

Despite the name making it sound like a simple variant of the F/⁠A-⁠18C/⁠D Hornet, the E/⁠F Super Hornet was actually an almost entirely different plane, with increased length, wing area, and payload capacity, and redesigned leading edge root extensions.

The reason they kept the main designation the same was to try to sell it to congress as a cheaper and less risky project compared to other proposals for a new plane at the time.

Also, hello to all three people who played this game:
