The enlargements increased internal fuel capacity by 4,350 pounds (1,970 kg), or about 65%. [15] [note 6] The F-16XL could carry twice the ordnance of the F-16A and deliver it 50% farther. [26] The enlarged wing and strengthened hardpoints allowed for a highly configurable payload: [27] 16× 1,000 pounds (450 kg) wing hardpoints
The F-16E (single seat) and F-16F (two seat) are newer F-16 Block 60 variants based on the F-16C/D Block 50/52. The United Arab Emirates invested heavily in their development. They feature improved AN/APG-80 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, infrared search and track (IRST), avionics, conformal fuel tanks (CFTs), and the more ...
A DSI was installed on an F-16 Block 30 fighter, replacing the aircraft's original intake diverter. The modified F-16 demonstrated a maximum speed of Mach 2.0 (Mach 2.0 is the F-16's clean certified maximum speed) and handling characteristics similar to a normal F-16. Subsonic specific excess power was slightly improved.
In a short time, Ukraine's F-16 pilots have had to learn to fly very differently from the way they flew their Soviet-era jets.
Loaded weight with 56% internal fuel McDonnell Douglas F-15: 1.04 [12] Nominally loaded Mikoyan MiG-29: 1.09 [13] Full internal fuel, 4 AAMs Lockheed Martin F-22 >1.09 (1.26 with loaded weight and 50% fuel) [14] General Dynamics F-16: 1.096 [citation needed] (1.24 with loaded weight & 50% fuel) Hawker Siddeley Harrier: 1.1 [citation needed ...
The AI-controlled F-16, called Vista, flew Kendall in lightning-fast maneuvers at more than 550 miles an hour that put pressure on his body at five times the force of gravity.
The AI-controlled F-16, called Vista, flew Kendall in lightning-fast maneuvers at more than 550 miles an hour that put pressure on his body at five times the force of gravity. It went nearly nose to nose with a second human-piloted F-16 as both aircraft raced within 1,000 feet of each other, twisting and looping to try force their opponent into ...
As an example, in March, a Russian warplane poured jet fuel on a U.S. surveillance drone and then struck its propeller, forcing the U.S. military to ditch the MQ-9 Reaper into the Black Sea.
