The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon is an American single-engine supersonic multirole fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics for the United States Air Force (USAF). Designed as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a successful all-weather multirole aircraft with over 4,600 built since 1976. [4] .

The Block 25 F-16C first flew in June 1984 and entered USAF service in September. The aircraft version is fitted with the Westinghouse AN/APG-68 radar and has improved precision night-attack capability.

It provides a relatively low-cost, high-performance weapon system for the United States and allied nations. In an air combat role, the F-16's maneuverability and combat radius (distance it can fly to enter air combat, stay, fight and return) exceed that of all potential threat fighter aircraft.

Meet the Block 70/72 Fighting Falcon. Today’s F-16 –the Block 70/72 –is the most advanced 4th generation fighter ever built and brings a new level of capability to air forces around the world.

Primary weapons system of the 20th Fighter Wing, the Lockheed-Martin F-16C Fighting Falcon Block 50 model is a compact, multi-role fighter aircraft. It is highly maneuverable and has proven itself in more than 30 years of operations including air-to-air combat and air-to-surface attack.

Technical data for F-16C Block 50/52: Maximum speed at 40,000 feet (12,200 meters): Mach 2.05 (2,531 km/h, 1,573 mph, 1367 knots). Maximum speed at sea level: Mach 1.2 (1,482 km/h, 921 mph, 800 knots). Two seater version of the F-16 is the F-16D. I (...)

The first F-16C (serial number #83-1118) flew on June 19, 1984 and was delivered to the USAF one month later. The new variant was introduced on the production line in December. Flight testing of the new F-16C revealed problems, most of …

Power Plant: F-16C/D: one Pratt and Whitney F100-PW-200/220/229 or General Electric F110-GE-100/129. Speed: 1,500 mph (Mach 2) Range: 2,002 miles. One of the most versatile …

The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon is a one-engine multirole combat aircraft. It was originally designed and built by General Dynamics, which is now part of Lockheed Martin. [5][6] The United States Air Force (USAF) ordered the F-16 in 1972. The airplane first flew four years later in 1976. Over 4,600 F-16s have been built since then. [7] .

The F-16 is a lightweight, multirole fighter capable of air-to-air, CAS, SEAD, interdiction, FAC-A, tactical nuclear delivery and all-weather strike missions. The “Viper” makes up roughly half the fighter inventory, carries the majority of PGMs in service, and is one of the most maneuverable fighters ever built.
