    They can be weighed down to different weights to simulate launching different aircraft (waste of taxpayer dollars though that is. :P)
    In FY 2013, the unit cost of an F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is $65.3 million (flyaway cost) or $80.7 million incl. support costs. The airframe costs $33.22 million, the two F414-GE-400 engines cost $9.64 million ($4.82 million each), and the avionics cost $9.32 million.

    I guess I would test too.....
