The F-16 Fighting Falcon, produced by the American company General Dynamics since the late 1970s, is a true icon of military aviation. Originally developed to meet the needs of the US Air Force for a modern and effective single-seat day fighter for air superiority, the project has progressively evolved and created an all-weather multi-role combat aircraft characterized by extraordinary operational flexibility. The F-16 is characterized by an original design easily recognizable by the bubble “canopy”, which guarantees great visibility for the pilot. The F-16 also adopted innovative solutions such as the lateral yoke, the “fly-by-wire” and modern avionics systems for flight and combat. Appreciated by pilots for its great maneuverability and reliability, it is armed with a 20mm M61 Vulcan cannon. Thanks to its numerous attack points, it can use a varied offensive arsenal of missiles and bombs. The F-16 has been employed by numerous air forces around the world and has carried out, often with great effectiveness, a significant number of operational missions.
