The climb rate of F/A-18C/D is lowest in three generation fighters, as I have known, if it is wrong please correct me...
Then according to the book called "F/A-18 Hornet:A Navy Success Story" written by Jenkins, the climb rate of Super Hornet is lower than F/A-18C/D,
THINK ABOUT it.... that would be down to less than 200m/s even lower than PhantomII ! What a bad fighter it is!
Also, the acceleration be said of S.H. which is inferior to its ancestor. How can imgae what will happen if S.H. meet MiG or Sukhoi fighter in
air.

The link also is funny to say unknown,
what a cecret specification are ashamed to see people
That Raptor, many think, is great fighter in next 10, 20 even to say 30 years. Now there are some unconfirmed report showing webs. these report said
that Raptor has flew over 2.5 mach at 4600ft, flew over M2.4 at 63000ft and flew M1.9 without afterburner using. Let's image how faster the climb
rate of Raptor will be?
