F-16 pilot with Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System and cockpit head-up display. The F-16 has a head-up display (HUD), which projects visual flight and combat information in front of the pilot without obstructing the view; being able to keep their head "out of the cockpit" improves the pilot's situation awareness.

Currently, with the introduction of the F-22 stealth fighter and the mass production of the F-35, the C/D models are being rapidly retired, and the current (2024) fleet remaining in the U.S. Air Force and National Guard consists of 123 F-16C Block 25, 200 F-16C Block 30, 100 F-16C Block 32, 200 F-16C Block 40, 115 F-16C Block 42, 37 F-16D Block ...

The F-16XL-2 also received a larger inlet which would go on to be included in later F-16 variants. [ 20 ] These changes resulted in a 25% improvement in lift-to-drag ratio in supersonic flight [ 21 ] while remaining comparable in subsonic flight, [ 22 ] and a plane that reportedly handled smoothly at high speeds and low altitudes. [ 23 ]
The side-stick is used in many modern military fighter aircraft, such as the F-16 Fighting Falcon, Mitsubishi F-2, Dassault Rafale, and F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lightning 2, Chengdu J-20, AIDC F-CK 1 Ching-Kuo and also on civil aircraft, such as the Sukhoi Superjet 100, Airbus A320 and all subsequent Airbus aircraft, [2] including the largest passenger jet in service, the Airbus A380.
The A-10, F-15, F-117, B-1, and B-2 use connected firing handles that activate both the canopy jettison systems, and the seat ejection. Both handles accomplish the same task, so pulling either one suffices. The F-22, WB-57, and F-16 have only one handle located between the pilot's legs, due to cockpit space limitations. [3]
The cockpit, ejection seat and canopy come from a Northrop T-38 and the landing gear from an F-16. [6] With afterburner, its engine will provide 22,000 lbf (98 kN) of thrust. [26] As of 2017, the ground noise was expected to be around 60 dB(A), about 1/1000 as loud as current supersonic aircraft.
Belgian Air Component F-16A FA-113, at Beauvechain Air Base, Belgium. The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon is an American supersonic multirole fighter aircraft originally developed for the United States Air Force. It has since been adopted by numerous air forces worldwide, and has been in near-continuous production since 1974, totaling ...
