Wing fix selected for F/A-18E/F
Article Abstract:
The maneuver wing drop problem on the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet carrier-borne strikefighter will be fixed through a porous wing fairing after the US Navy and Boeing agreed on the solution. The finality of the wing fix for the F/A-18E/F will pave the way for the release of funding for the continuation of production for the aircraft. The preferred fix, which was chosen over extended leading edge snags, grit tape and stall strips, is a variable porous wing fairing and a near solid design with small holes at the leading edge of the wing which expand towards the edge surface.
