[168] Development [ edit ] Origins [ edit ] YF-16 and YF-17 prototypes being tested by the U.S. Air Force Though the YF-16 won the LWF competition, the Navy was skeptical that an aircraft with one engine and narrow landing gear could be easily or economically adapted to carrier service, and refused to adopt an F-16 derivative. On 2 May 1975, the Navy announced its selection of the YF-17. [5] Since the LWF did not share the design requirements of the VFAX, the Navy asked McDonnell Douglas and Northrop to develop a new aircraft from the design and principles of the YF-17. On 1 March 1977, Secretary of the Navy W. Graham Claytor announced that the F-18 would be named "Hornet". [3] The Northrop YF-17 Cobra was developed into the carrier-capable F/A-18. The Royal Malaysian Air Force ( Tentera Udara Diraja Malaysia) has eight F/A-18Ds. [96] Delivery of the aircraft spanned from March 1997 to August 1997. [78] Reim2019-02-06T20:47:23+00:00, Garrett.
