‘Advanced’ FA-18F Super Hornet With Conformal Fuel Tanks Concept …

This artwork from 2019, presented as a ‘farewell’ gift by the company to a colleague who was leaving.

Viewers from “The Land Down Under” will note the “I Love A Sunburnt Country” themed background to the platform ;-)

The ‘stealthified’ conformal fuel tanks as depicted here were the result of a combined Boeing / Northrop Grumman effort, conceived, designed, tested and ready in record time to facilitate a possible stop gap measure for the then delayed F-35 (at time of creation).

APOLOGIES! for the low-res image and reflections in the glass, it’s the best I have of this framed artwork!

The “FARE THEE WELL” Series - Over 2024-25 I reached out to a number of people who, over the years, have been in receipt of “farewell” artwork I was tasked with creating. Given that I’ve now ‘retired’, I’m able to showcase that work via their photos without any questions being asked.
