The F-16, offering an almost unrestricted deployment spectrum, is regarded as one of the most versatile air combat fighters ever built. Not only the most manoeuvrable combat aircraft of the NATO airforce, but also with the USAF it ranks as the most advanced variant and the one with the greatest combat capability. Further developments, consistently carried out, ensured that ever increased deployment options opened up for the F-16. The all-weather fighter was substantially modernised in the areas of the engine, the outer shape and the avionics. As from 1985 the F-16 was also built in Europe within the framework of production under licence, where a parachute brake was introduced at the tail. 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 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
