Super Hornet
The Boeing F/A-18E and F/A-18F Super Hornet are twin-engine, carrier-capable, multirole fighter aircraft variants based on the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. The F/A-18E single-seat and F/A-18F tandem-seat variants are larger and more advanced derivatives of the F/A-18C and D Hornet. The Super Hornet has an internal 20 mm M61 rotary cannon and can carry air-to-air missiles and air-to-surface weapons. Additional fuel can be carried in up to five external fuel tanks and the aircraft can be configured as an airborne tanker by adding an external air refueling system.
Designed and initially produced by McDonnell Douglas, the Super Hornet first flew in 1995. Low-rate production began in early 1997 with full-rate production starting in September 1997, after the merger of McDonnell Douglas and Boeing the previous month. The Super Hornet entered service with the United States Navy in 1999, replacing the Grumman F-14 Tomcat, which was retired in 2006; the Super Hornet serves alongside the original Hornet. The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), which has operated the F/A-18A as its main fighter since 1984, ordered the F/A-18F in 2007 to replace its aging F-111C fleet. RAAF Super Hornets entered service in December 2010.
HX-hanke - HX Program - new fighters for Finland by 2025
The planned service life of Hornets, Finland's current fighters, will end by 2030. The HX Program was set up to replace the current fleet with new fighters.
Fighters are a significant part of Finland’s defence capability
The primary purpose of Finland’s defence capability is to establish deterrence against the use of military force and the threat of its use, as well as to repel attacks on Finland. To perform this task, Finland needs fighters. They are an essential part of the air defence system and Defence Forces’ capability in engaging land- and sea-based targets. The fighter fleet’s capabilities also supplement the Defence Forces’ intelligence, surveillance and command environment.
HX Challenge in English
The HX Challenge testing and evaluation event for HX fighter candidates will be held in Finland in January and February 2020. The event will take place mainly in Pirkkala and will be hosted by the Satakunta Air Command.
The HX Challenge is being held in Finland so that each candidate’s performance can be verified under Finnish conditions and through tests designed in Finland. This procedure guarantees that the performance of each candidate’s systems and aircraft can be evaluated fairly.
The testing event will verify the performance claims made in the responses to the call for tenders, along with any performance values previously verified in laboratory tests. This way, it will be possible to assess the performance of the aircraft, systems and sensors in the Finnish operating environment. The Finnish operating environment and practices may also differ from those of other users in terms of weather and lighting conditions.
The testing event will evaluate the multi-role fighters and their systems on the ground and in the air, and at take-off and landing. Each candidate has been given five working days to demonstrate its performance in Finland.
HX Challenge suomeksi
HX-kandidaattien testaus- ja todennustapahtumaa HX Challenge järjestetään Suomessa tammi-helmikuun 2020 aikana. Tapahtuman pääpaikka on Satakunnan lennosto Pirkkalassa.
HX Challenge järjestetään Suomessa, jotta jokaisen kandidaatin suorituskykyä voidaan todentaa Suomen olosuhteissa ja suomalaisten laatimin testein. Tällä menettelyllä taataan ehdokkaille tasapuolinen heidän esittämien konseptien, koneen järjestelmien ja koneen suorituskyvyn verifiointi.
