The Polish airforce has ordered 48 examples of one of the best fighter airplanes currently available. The original of this model is the most modern, two-seater version of the F-16D with the registration 4076. The pilots are seated at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal, which is necessary to avoid fainting during turns with a loading of up to nine times the force of gravity. More than 4,800 F-16s, still developed by the long-since merged General Dynamics, remain in operation in 24 airforces all over the world. This model will also be released in two versions: with a closed cockpit (550369) and one with an open cockpit (550499) limited to 1,000 items, both of which can be ideally combined with Herpa accessories. = Designed by General Dynamics as a lightweight, daytime USAF air-combat fighter, the F-16 was first flown on January 20th, 1974. This single-engine, supersonic aircraft has, over the years, evolved into a multirole aircraft. It has a frameless bubble canopy-giving its pilot superior visibility-and it uses advanced aerodynamics. The F-16 was one of the first designs to use a relaxed static stability/fly-by-wire system, which helps it pull 9-g maneuvers and achieve speeds of more than Mach 2. Called "Viper" by its pilots, the F-16 is considered one of the most successful aircraft designs of the Cold War, with 4,400+ aircraft built since 1976. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
