American aerospace company Boeing is planning to send two Super Hornet fighter jets to Goa for operation demonstrations before its potential buyer Indian Navy this summer, reported news agency PTI quoting a senior company executive. Alain Garcia, vice president of Boeing’s India Business Development, made a strong sales pitch for F/A-18 Super Hornet, saying the aircraft has been specifically designed for carrier operations. Garcia said that the fighter jet can operate from the Indian Navy warships and will meet or exceed the STOBAR (Short Take-off But Arrested Recovery) performance requirements of the Indian Navy. “This has been proven by our successful ski-jump tests conducted in 2020 and extensive simulation studies. Additionally, we will also prove that further with operational demonstrations in India in May and June,” PTI quoted Garcia as saying. “I really believe the F/A-18 Super Hornet Block III will be a transformative capability for the Indian Navy, the way the P-8I has been…and also the impact that it will have on the aerospace industry,” he argued.
