McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet - Wikipedia
The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet is an all-weather supersonic, twin-engine, carrier -capable, multirole combat aircraft, designed as both a fighter and attack aircraft (hence the F/A designation).
Boeing Images - F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet in Vertical Ascent
The combat-proven F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is a next generation strike fighter with all the capability, flexibility and performance necessary to modernize the air or naval aviation forces …
Aerospaceweb.org | Ask Us - Canted Vertical Tails
The tail configuration you have mentioned is usually referred to as canted vertical tails, since the vertical stabilizers are canted away from being 90° straight up and down. As illustrated in the below photo of the F-18 Hornet, this design has become increasingly common on modern military aircraft. Canted vertical stabilizers on the F-18
Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet - Wikipedia
The Boeing F/A-18E and F/A-18F Super Hornet are a series of American supersonic twin-engine, carrier-capable, multirole fighter aircraft derived from the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. The Super Hornet is in service with the armed forces of the U.S., Australia, and Kuwait.
F18 Cockpit | Aerofly FS
Last but not least: The F18 has two vertical stabilizers with rudders on each side. These rudders are deflected symmetrically for normal rudder operation and they deflect together with ailerons to increase the roll rate.
F-15/F-18/F-22 Multi Vertical Fins And The Angles - Airliners.net
2007年6月14日 · When you glance at the F-15 from the rear it's vertical fins are parallel to the sky and 90 degrees roughly to that of the horizon. Seeing as how the F-15 was designed to fly at higher speeds, if the vertical fins were canted like that of the F-18 (roughly 30 degrees) does this significantly affect the performance of the aircraft?
Wing, control surface, leading edge extension (LEX), and vertical tail pressure loads were transmitted through neoprene pads bonded to the airframe surface. The pads were connected to a hydraulic loading cylinder through a series of turnbuckles and tension whiffletree beams or tension/compression whiffletree beams.
Characteristics of F/A-18 vertical tail buffeting - ScienceDirect
2003年3月1日 · A time-accurate computational analysis of vertical tail buffeting of full F/A-18 aircraft is conducted at typical flight conditions to identify the buffet characteristics of fighter aircraft. The F/A-18 aircraft is pitched at wide range of high angles of attack at Mach number of 0.243 and Reynolds number of 11 millions.
McDonnell Douglas F-18 - Aircraft Recognition Guide
Find out how to recognise all the different versions of the McDonnell-Douglas F-18 Hornet, and learn what are the differences between the F/A-18 and similar aircraft types like the Northrop YF-17, Grumman F-14 Tomcat and Lockheed F-22 Raptor.
The objective of the F-18 vertical tail modal survey was to estimate the resonant frequencies, damping, and mode shapes for the vertical tail structure up to 100 hertz (Hz). The range of interest was limited because the primary excitation frequencies of the vortical wake are expected to be below 100 Hz. The information gathered will be
