This document is a Request for Information (RFI) Questions and Answers from the Department of the Air Force, Headquarters 36th Wing at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, dated 10 September 2025. The RFI (Solicitation Number FA524025QM176) relates to a 554 F-18 Egress Trainer, with specific clarification sought about the trainer's dimensional requirements. The response indicates that a scaled version of the F-18 is acceptable, with the following key specifications: the trainer can be scaled down to no less than 70% of the actual aircraft's dimensions (56' Long x 15' Tall x 37' Wide), while maintaining normal standards and positions for critical components such as the cockpit and landing gear. The wings can be scaled down, and a full engine is not required for the training purposes.

SUBJECT: RFI Questions and Answers– FA524025QM176 – 554 F-18 Egress Trainer

1. Para 5 of the salient characteristics states that “The Egress trainer should mimic the dimensions of an actual F-18” The dimensions of an actual F-18 are 56’ Long x 15’ Tall x 37’ Wide. Can you please clarify if a scaled version of the actual dimensions is acceptable (i.e. 70% scale), and if so what scale is acceptable.

a. For the purpose of our training and what we are needing to accomplish, the F-18 can be scaled down. However, the cockpit, landing gear and other emergent components must be in normal standards and positions. The wings can be scaled down if need be. The F-18 does not need to have a full engine. So, in terms of a percentage, it could be no less than a 70% scale.
