Designed by General Dynamics to function as a lightweight USAF air-combat fighter, the F-16 was first flown on January 20th, 1974. This highly aerodynamic single-engine aircraft is one of the most successful aircraft designs of the Cold War. It has a mid-monoplane wing design, with the centerline of the fuselage dominated by a broad-mouth intake opening. It can carry a multitude of different weaponry, from runway-denial munitions and air-to-air missiles to anti-armor and anti-radar homing missiles, drop bombs and Maverick air-to-ground missiles. Under its large, clear-vision canopy the pilot is assisted by an array of digital systems including fly-by-wire controls.
