Safety is paramount when carrying thousands of pounds of ordnance. In this episode of Inside the Factory, we examine the F/A-18E Super Hornet sporting the iconic VFA-31 Tomcatters (Felix the Cat) scheme.
We focus on the critical structural integrity checks of the external ordnance pylons—the hardpoints responsible for holding the aircraft's firepower.
📌 Key technical highlights in this video:
• Visual Inspection: Detailed examination of the pylon attachment points and locking mechanisms.
• Structural Stress Testing: Simulating the immense dynamic loads experienced during missile launches.
• High-G Readiness: Ensuring the pylons can withstand the extreme G-forces of combat maneuvering without failure.
• VFA-31 Legacy: A look at the specific livery details of the famous "Tomcatters" squadron.
Before this Super Hornet can serve on the carrier deck, it must prove it can hold onto its weapons under the most extreme conditions.
