The F-18 was based on the YF-17 (the aircraft that "lost" the USAF LWF [Lightweight Fighter Program] ). The YF-17 was a development of the P-530 Cobra (which, in turn, was a roundabout development of the F-5 Freedom Fighter).
All of these aircraft were a product of Northrop, with McDonnell-Douglas providing much input at the stage between YF-17 and F-18 as completed.
The agreement between the two firms was that MDD would produce the naval variants (F-18, which became the F/A-18) and Northrop would produce the land-based versions (F-18L). Unfortunately for Northrop there were no orders for the F-18L.
