Flight Wing Size Changes?
Did the change from F-14s to F-18s increase or decrease the total
number of planes per ship? Overly simple math suggests that the amount of room needed to hold 22 F-14s could also hold 30 F-18s. If the number of planes did not increase, what happened to the extra space? -Curious -Charles Talleyrand F-18a Length: 17.10 m F-18a Wing Span: 9.3 m folded Area of bounding box: 159 sq m F-14 Length: 18.6 meters F-14 Wingspan: 11.4 meters swept Area of bounding box: 211 sq m
