Can the Super Hornet carry JASSM-ER? Is JASSM-XR planned for the future? 2.28.231.9 (talk) 19:24, 8 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Super Hornet carry JASSM-ER 2405:9800:B970:46E6:E007:7282:76FA:6072 (talk) 15:36, 8 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Given that Australia is buying them for their Super Hornets yes.

"The proposed sale will improve Australia’s capability to meet current and future threats by providing advanced, long-range strike systems for employment from Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) air platforms including, but not limited to, the F/A-18F Super Hornet"

Tanker fuel type

Latest comment: 11 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Article says Super Hornets in the tanker role mainly use JP-4, but they do not. They use JP-5 instead and this is well known.

MACH Numbers

Latest comment: 3 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The given Mach number is wrong.

Yes, I know it is sourced from the manufacturer, but they made the mistake to divide the speed by the speed of sound at sea-level, instead of using the values for high altitudes.

Speed of sound at sea-level: 666 kn => Mach 1.6 Speed of sound at altitude: 573 kn => Mach 1.8 2A02:908:1225:C20:8029:E581:7A64:BEBF (talk) 22:23, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
