Nniiden F-18F Super Hornet on Boeingin F/A-18 Hornetista kehittämä lentotukialuspohjainen monitoimihävittäjä. Siinä on tandem-istuimen ohjaamo lentäjälle ja asejärjestelmäupseerille, ja se voi suorittaa ilmasta ilmaan ja ilmasta maahan tehtäviä erilaisilla aseilla. F-18F Super Hornetissa on suurempi siipi, pidempi runko ja tehokkaammat moottorit kuin F/A-18C/D Hornetissa, mikä antaa sille suuremman kantaman, hyötykuorman ja kestävyyden.
Nniiden F-18F Super Hornet also features an advanced radar, an electronic warfare suite, and a reduced radar cross-section. The F-18F Super Hornet entered service with the US Navy in 1999, and has been deployed in several conflicts, including Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Inherent Resolve. The F-18F Super Hornet is also operated by the Royal Australian Air Force and the Kuwait Air Force.
