Efficiency. A jet engine works best in thin air.
3.89087654 lb per hr
Internally, an F-18 jet can hold 14,400lbs of fuel.
Pressure pulsations
About $30-60 million US Dollars depending on what variant you choose.
This would decrease the efficiency of the engine because less air would be able to enter.

The original is the F/A-18C/D (Hornet) which is superseded by the F/A-18E/F (Super Hornet). Main differences are in the thrust to weigh ratio, how much more armament the E/F series can hold, and new electronic counter-measure capabilities.
It was invented during WW2 by 'Power Jets' ,a company led by Sir Frank Whittle to increase power and efficiency of early jet engines.
To drive the compressor section, therefore 'doing work' on the air to increase the efficiency of the combustion process.
