Which of these late 70's aircraft is cooler?

F-15C Eagle is the only correct answer.

>>13705805
If we're just disregarding the request, the Core Fighter

>>13705802
The Y-wing in the back.

>>13705802
F-14.

Obviously A-10.

But the bottom isn't from the late 70s. The Super-hornet is a 90s Kid.

Check the air intakes and count the number of hard points on the Hornets in the op's Image. The OP posted Super Hornets, which first took to the air in 1995.

Do you not know the difference between a regular Hornet (A/B/C/D)s and a Super-Hornet (E/F)? Because they are two very different aircraft. Other than the forward fuselage the Super Hornet is a completely new aircraft.

LISTENIN TO THE HOWLING ROAR

>>13706353
No because I found a picture that claimed to be of F-18 Hornets and I don't know anything beyond that. I just think X Wings look shitty in comparison

>>13706416
One is literally a toy and the other one a refined piece of engineering. You shouldn't even be comparing them.

Liquid stop talking into a fan

>>13706386
There's pretty much zero commonality with the original Hornet. The forward fuselage is mostly the same but aft of the cockpit it's all new from the engines to the larger airframe. The most noticeable visual differences are the square intakes, larger leading edge extensions, and an additional hard point under each wing.

As for the history of the aircraft, it was created as a low cost and, low risk program to replace the soon to be axed NATF and A-12 programs. The Navy needed new jets and realized that it would be easiest to get new jets if they were "based" on an existing design.

>>13705802
F-16, don't underestimate the little bird.

>>13706501
A fantasy spaceship should still look cooler than something that actually works because its not restricted by the rules of physics. Yet it looks like garbage and people still cream themselves over it when actual spaceships like the SR-71 exist

>>13706553
Oh, come on, the SR-71 has the most tryhard design ever.

Not him but I love the idea of the original bombers being these sleek craft that got chopped down for performance purposes by the rebel engineers.

>>13709632
From Rogue Squadron.
>The Y-Wing is the work horse of the rebel fleet. It's not quick or flashy but it gets the job done. The armor on this ship is extensive, and the shields will protect you from just about anything, which is good, because you won't be going anywhere *fast*.

Every fighter in star wars has and always will be dumb as fuck.

>>13705802
But that's the Super Hornet at the bottom, a late 90's aircraft. You can tell at a glance by the angular intakes.
>>13706416
>>13706386
The Super Hornet is a completely new airframe, it's not a regular upgrade package. It's about 20% bigger and a much more modern design, while still looking very similar and serving the same role. Meanwhile, the Legacy Hornet fleets are falling apart.
