F/A-18 Hornet Fighter Jet RMAF Aircraft

The F/A-18 Hornet’s design lineage traces back to the Northrop YF-17, a prototype developed for the U.S. Air Force’s Lightweight Fighter (LWF) program. While the YF-17 itself didn’t win the Air Force competition, its design proved highly adaptable to the U.S. Navy’s requirements for a multirole fighter. The Navy’s need for a carrier-based aircraft led to significant modifications, including a strengthened airframe, folding wings, and enhanced avionics, culminating in the F/A-18 Hornet.
