Approximately what is a F18 Fighter Jet Fuel Consumption?

The fuel consumption of an F/A-18 fighter jet varies depending on the mission, speed, altitude, and payload. As an approximation, the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, a variant of the F/A-18, has an average fuel consumption of around 6,000 pounds of fuel per hour (approximately 2,720 kilograms per hour) during typical flight operations. However, during high-performance maneuvers or supersonic flights, the fuel consumption can significantly increase.
