"Xiao Ai, please introduce to Miss Shui Liu what an F18 Hornet fighter is," Yuan Xiaoling said into his phone.
"Dear Miss Flow,
I would like to introduce you to a very good fighter - the F/A-18 "Hornet". It was a multi-role fighter used by the Navy and Air Force of the United States, designed and manufactured by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing).
First, let's talk about why it's called "Bumblebee". An explanation is given in the book "F/A-18 "Hornet" and "Super Hornet". After takeoff, the pair of main landing gears rotate inward and aft to be stored in the cabin. And they are very "elastic", after the fighter takes off from the ground, as the load-bearing decreases, two sets of landing gear will naturally hang under the fuselage. And when the wasp flies, it also naturally hangs its feet under its body. This is where the nickname "Bumblebee" comes from.
In addition, the tail of the
carrier-based aircraft basically has a blocking hook, which resembles the tail pin of a wasp after being put down. Perhaps it is also because the fuselage of the F/A-18 is a bit rounded, and the wing sweep angle is not large, which looks more like an insect body than the F-14 and others. But now, the moniker apparently has a more accurate explanation.
In addition, the F/A-18's exterior features are not only in the main landing gear, but also in its prototype, the YF-17. It can be seen that the landing gear of the YF-16 is an "outer figure-eight", which stretches from the center of the belly to the sides downward. The landing gear of the YF-17 protrudes vertically from the side of the belly near the wing root. These unique designs make the F/A-18 a fighter with powerful combat capabilities.
Overall, the F/A-18 Hornet is an excellent fighter that is unique not only in appearance, but also in performance. Hopefully, my presentation will give you a deeper understanding of this fighter. If you have any further questions or need further information, please feel free to ask me. "
"Let's talk about its combat and performance," Yuan Xiaoling asked again.
"Okay, I will add information about the combat and performance aspects of the F/A-18 Hornet fighter.
Performance of the F/A-18 Hornet:
Powertrain
The F/A-18 is equipped with two General Electric F404-GE-402 turbofan engines, each with 7,900 lb (35.3 kN) of thrust. This efficient, fuel-efficient engine not only provides powerful propulsion, but also makes the aircraft maneuverable and durable.
Weapon systems
The F/A-18 can carry a variety of weapons, including air-to-air missiles, air-to-surface missiles, bombs, and various machine guns. The most famous of these are the AIM-9 Sidewinder short-range air-to-air missile and the AIM-120 advanced medium-range air-to-air missile. In addition, it is armed with a M61A120-mm six-barreled Gatling cannon.
Radar & Electronics
The F/A-18 is equipped with an AN/APG-73 radar, which is capable of accurately detecting and tracking targets. At the same time, it has advanced electronic countermeasures equipment, which is capable of maintaining superiority in complex electronic warfare.
Avionics systems
The F/A-18 uses a fully digital avionics system, including a flight control computer, navigation system and displays. These systems provide the real-time information pilots need to make quick decisions.
Combat application of the F/A-18 Hornet fighter:
Since its entry into service, the F/A-18 has participated in a number of important combat missions, demonstrating its outstanding combat capabilities. For example, during the Persian Gulf War, the F/A-18 carried out a number of attack missions and successfully destroyed Iraqi air defense installations and military targets.
In addition, the F/A-18 has also participated in many conflicts such as the Kosovo War, the Afghanistan War and the Iraq War, proving its adaptability and operational efficiency in various combat environments.
Overall, the F/A-18 Hornet is a multi-role fighter with excellent performance and combat effectiveness, and it has been one of the main fighters of the Navy and Air Force of the United States for the past few decades. Xiao Ai replied.
"Oh, that's really insightful," Shui Liu laughed.
"Well, Tianji and Qianyi, you turn back into Cayenne and Palamella, let's go back quickly," Yuan Xiaoling said.
"Yes," Tianji and Qianyi turned back into Cayenne and Palamella, Tang Jingjing and Hu Dingchen got into the car, started the car and drove in front.
Yuan Xiao drove the GTR sports car, and the girl sat in the co-pilot, following Tang Jingjing's Paramela.
While driving on a country road, I suddenly noticed a wonderful thing, a flower that glowed blue. The flower shone brightly in the night, like a blue star falling on the ground. Yuan Xiaoling and the girl were both fascinated by this scene.
"I've never seen a flower like this!" exclaimed the Lady of the Flow.
Yuan Xiaoling was also very surprised, and he decided to drive to the flower to have a look. So, he turned the car around and began to look for the mysterious blue flower along the path.
They walked through the darkness, the headlights illuminating the road ahead and the blue flower. When they got closer, they found that the flower not only emitted a blue glow, but also gave off a faint fragrance.
The girl got out of the car and walked to the flowers, gently stroked the petals, and exclaimed, "This is so beautiful!".
Yuan Xiaoling also got out of the car to join her, and they admired the blue flower together. In this quiet night, this flower is like a gift from nature, allowing them to feel the wonder and beauty of life.
"I want to take this flower home. Miss Flowing suggested.
Yuan Xiaoling nodded in agreement, and they carefully put the flower away.
The two got
back into the car and returned to their new home in a three-story building on the street, the two said goodbye to Hu Dingchen and Tang Jingjing, Yuan Xiaoling cast a spell and appeared in the whirlpool, got on the GTR, and the girl sat in the co-pilot, and the two entered the whirlpool.
After returning to the palace of the
princess of Donghuaguo, they placed this blue flower on the balcony and let it continue to bloom its beauty. This flower became a sight in the princess's bedroom.
