      In 1996, McDonnell Douglas up-rated the F/A-18C/D Hornet to pull 9gs in the ‘clean’ configuration (air/air weapons only and centerline drop tank EMPTY).

    • @MetaliCanuck
      @MetaliCanuck Před 5 lety +5

      There is no such thing as ZERO angle of attack! I flew a CF-18 myself, its called limiting your AoA limiter in cockpit through the MFDs. A lot countries won't allow their Hornet pilots in F18A/C models do it. I know the Swiss and Canada have allowed their demo pilots to use 90 degrees AoA. Thats unlimited, not zero.No such thing. Its not an upgrade, its simply done through the FCS on the MFD's. All F18 models can do this. Its whether they are allowed to or not. Don't forget every DTC is looked over after flight by CO's, so if your not allowed and you enabled a higher AoA your going to be shit on by your CO's guaranteed. The higher you set the AoA the, HIGHER the stresses become and more chance of a stall, you got it all backwards bud.

      Swiss F/A-18C airframe was modifed for airforce service 9G.
      For the US, 9G Hornet was revisted via F-35A Block 3F (9G) which has "Hornet with a turbo" with stealth for USAF.
      I don't have data on Canada's 9G up-rated airframe program. Australia has 18 F-35A Block 3F (9G) instead.. AU's Hornet airframe upgrades was aborted after 11 units.
