McDonnell-Douglas / Northrop F / A-18 Hornet is an on-board fighter and attack aircraft capable of operating in all weather conditions. The roots of the F / A-18 go back to 1974 and the F-17 prototype, which was of interest to the US Navy command at the time. The contract for the serial construction of the aircraft was concluded in 1976. In order to accelerate the work, the Northrop corporation entered into cooperation with McDonnell-Douglas. As a result, on November 18, 1978, the test flight of the prototype took place, and a year later, successful landings on an aircraft carrier.
