Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet & EA-18G Growler

The multi-mission F/A-18E/F "Super Hornet" is an evolutionary upgrade from the combat-proven night strike fighter F/A-18 C/D. It is nearly 25% larger than the C/D, yet more survivable with improvements like reduced radar and infrared cross sections made possible through design features and coatings, greater situational awareness, and an advanced countermeasure suite. Reduced vulnerability is achieved through an active dry-bay fire suppression system, self-sealing fuel tanks, explosion suppression foam in the wing fuel tanks, and hydraulic reservoir level sensing. The aircraft was designed...

Engine-Driven Hydraulic Pump P/N 997706 Hydraulic power for flight control and utility systems is provided by two 78.9 gpm (295 L/min.), 4480 rpm, variable displacement, pressure compensated inline pumps. Eaton's hydraulic pump PV3-400-5B incorporates a solenoid actuated, dual pressure range compensator, allowing the flight control computer to select either 3000 psi (20,600 kPa) or 5000 psi (34,500 kPa) pressure operation based on flight surface loading. Gun Drive System P/N 570221 Eaton's gun drive system simultaneously rotates the barrels for firing and feeds ammunition to the gun...

Manual Override Check Valve P/N 53270-1 Eaton's manual override check valve is used in the hydraulic system. The valve can be manually opened using a 90° rotary input command. In-Flight Refuel Control Valve P/N MC14432-2 Eaton's in-flight refuel control valve is a 3-position, 4-way design that is operated by a pair of 28 VDC solenoid valves. The solenoid valves shift the main spool and sleeve valve to either extend or retract the IFR Probe. The probe position is dependent on which solenoid is energized. The manifold has a separate pilot operated emergency spool and sleeve valve that allows...

145/155 Series Ground Service Quick Disconnect Couplings P/N AE82134R Eaton's Aeroquip 145/155 series couplings have been the industry standard for hydraulic ground service applications for over 50 years. The F/A-18E/F utilizes the most current design improvements, which include soft seal for leak free connection as well as disconnection and blunt start threads to prevent cross threading during connection. 3900 Series Couplings P/Ns AE89799K, AE89800K The F/A-18E/F radar cooling system incorporates Eaton's 3900 series coupling, which is a one-hand operation self-sealing quick-disconnect...

Eaton's Prismalite sight gauge provides visual indication of oil level in the Airframe Mounted Accessory Drive (AMAD) gearbox. Chip Detectors with Self-Closing Valves P/Ns A4301, A4297, A4299 Eaton's chip detectors for the F/A-18 are continuity-type detectors that monitor the aircraft's scavenge pumps for wear particles. Prismalite Sight Gauge P/N S247-3, S266 Eaton's Prismalite Sight Gauge provides visual indication of fluid level in the F/A-18 engine lube tank. Electro/Optical Level Sensor P/N 2F1458-1 Eaton's electro/optical level sensor detects the presence of fuel in the aircraft's...
