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

edit

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

edit

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
