F-16 Fighting Falcon Program • Largest multinational coproduction effort in history. Assembly lines have operated in Fort Worth, Belgium, The Netherlands, Turkey, and Korea. • Thirteen countries have participated in coproduction of the F-16 and major components of the aircraft have been produced in several other countries. • Almost 4, 000 F-16 s have been delivered to 19 air forces around the world. Fourteen of these countries have ordered additional F-16 s. • First flight of full-scale development aircraft 8 Dec. 1976. 12/5/2020 2
F-16 Fighting Falcon Features • Maneuverability and combat radius exceed that of all potential threat fighter aircraft. • Locate targets in all weather conditions and detect low flying aircraft in radar ground clutter. • Less than 1/2 the weight of the F-14, less than 1/4 the cost of the F-15. • With a full load of internal fuel and air-to-air missiles, the F-16 can withstand up to nine G's -- which exceeds the capability of other current fighter aircraft. • Forebody strakes increases lift and directional control at higher angles of attack. A uniquely fixed inlet , with no moving parts, provides smooth airflow to the engine at extreme angles of attack. • Automatic leading-edge flap control provides optimum maneuvering in all conditions. 12/5/2020 3
F-16 Fighting Falcon Features (continued) • The F-16’s fly-by-wire system has electric flight controls that, combined with an angle of attacking limiter, allow edge-of-the-envelope precision maneuvering without worry of overstress or departure from controlled flight. • The F-16’s single vertical tail helps provide good directional stability at high angle of attack. The aircraft unique wing body cross section is aerodynamically and volumetrically efficient. • The F-16 can carry up to 21, 550 pounds of weapons, ECM and sensor pods, and external fuel tanks on 11 store stations. • The airframe is designed for 8, 000 hours of operation (more than 26 years of service at 25 flight hours/month) without a depot-level inspection or overhaul. 12/5/2020 4

F-16 Fighting Falcon F 16 SWF In 1976, DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) awarded funds to General Dynamics, Rockwell and Grumman under the Forward-Swept Wing(FSW) Program. The final design submitted to DARPA used the landing gear and most fuselage components of the traditional F-16, yet it had a slightly lengthened and strengthened fuselage to allow the forward-swept wing to be attached, since the new wing was slightly larger than the traditional wing. The SFW/F-16 never left the drawing board and was rejected by DARPA in January 1981 in favor of the Grumman 712 (an F-5/F-20 derivative), later desiganted the X-29 A 12/5/2020 11
F-16 Fighting Falcon F-16 XL In February of 1980, General Dynamics made a proposal for a Fighting Falcon version with a radically-modified wing shape, which was originally proposed for use on supersonic airliners. The project was known as SCAMP (Supersonic Cruise and Maneuvering Program) and later as F-16 XL 12/5/2020 12
F-16 Fighting Falcon F-16 XL Laminar Flow Research Aircraft An F-16 XL aircraft is being used by the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, CA, in a program to help improve laminar airflow on aircraft flying at sustained supersonic speeds. It is the first program to look at laminar flow on swept wings at speeds faster than sound. 12/5/2020 13
