F-18 Hornet
Is a supersonic, all-weather carrier-capable
multirole fighter jet, designed to dogfight and
attack ground targets
The F/A-18 is a twin engine, mid-wing, multi-mission tactical
aircraft. It is highly maneuverable, owing to its good thrust to weight ratio, digital fly-
by-wire control system, and leading edge extensions

Av-8B “Harrier”
• Ground attack aircraft• Pegasus Engine• First strictly Marine fighter.
A – 10 THUNDERBOLTThe aircraft can survive direct hits from armor-piercing and high explosive projectiles up to 23mm. Their self-sealing fuel cells are protected by internal and external foam. Manual systems back up their redundant hydraulic flight-control systems. This permits pilots to fly and land when hydraulic power is lost.
F-117 NightHawk
The Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk is a single-seat, twin-engine stealth ground-attack aircraft formerly operated by the United States Air Force (USAF). The F-117A's first flight was in 1981, and it achieved initial operating capability status in October 1983. The F-117A was "acknowledged" and revealed to the world in November 1988.

F-35 LIGHTNING
The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a family of single-seat, single-engine, fifth generation multirole fighters under development to perform ground attack, reconnaissance, and air defense missions with stealth capability. The F-35 has three main models; one is a conventional takeoff and landing variant, the second is a short take off and vertical-landing variant, and the third is a carrier-based variant.
