F-105 Thunderchief vs F/A-18E/F Super Hornet

F-105 Thunderchief vs F/A-18E/F Super Hornet

The original YF-17 was a lightweight fighter to counter the poor performance of the massive F-105 Thunderchief in dogfights. Irony:  The Super Hornet is even heavier, similar wing loading. The main difference is nearly twice as much thrust.  If F-105 had a tiny wing unsuited for maneuvering, the Super Hornet wing is just as heavily loaded.

Payload: 14,000 lb     vs 17,750 lb

Super Hornet has wider wings, slightly shorter and less tall.
