The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a modern multi-role jet fighter aircraft built in the United States.
Designed as a lightweight fighter, it evolved into a successful multi-role aircraft. The F-16 was
developed by General Dynamics. In 1993 General Dynamics sold its aircraft manufacturing business
to the Lockheed Corporation, now Lockheed Martin. The Falcon's versatility is a paramount reason
it was a success on the export market, and is serving 24 countries. It is the largest and probably
most significant Western fighter program, with over 4000 aircraft built. Though no longer produced
for the United States Air Force, it is still produced for export. The Fighting Falcon is regarded as a superb dogfighter, with innovations such as the bubble canopy, side-mounted control stick, and reclined seat. It was also the first US fighter aircraft to match the English Electric Lightning's ability to execute 9 g turns. Although the F-16's official popular name is "Fighting Falcon," it is well-known as the "Viper," the General Dynamics codename for the project during its early development.
