Operational pilots look at things differently than flight test pilots.
When testing is complete a full evaluation will be forwarded to Navy leadership with recommendations as to whether the Super Hornet is operationally effective and operationally suitable. You can expect a variety of grades on it. Both the E and F models offer longer range, greater endurance, more payload-carrying ability, more powerful engines, increased carrier bringback capability, enhanced survivability and the growth potential to incorporate future systems and technologies to meet emerging threats.
