The McDonnell Douglas Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet is a twin engine multi role carrier based aircraft. The E variant is single seater while the F variant is a tandem  seat configuration. The E is a much larger, more advanced and more capable variant of the F/A-18C.

The Super variant can carry a larger array of weapons as well as more of them and is capable of returning to the carrier while still carrying unspent munitions, a big savings in dollars. The first F/A-18E flight was in 1995 and began delivery to the USN in 1999.
