F 16 (F-16 Fighting Falcon) |
The Fighting Falcon is a dogfighter with innovations. Although the F-16's official name is "Fighting Falcon", it is known to its pilots as the "Viper".
The F-16 is a single-engined, multi-role tactical aircraft. It is equipped with an M61 Vulcan cannon in the left wing root, and is almost always armed with two AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles, one on each wingtip on a dedicated rail. More recent versions can be equipped with the AIM-120 AMRAAM on these rails instead. It can also be armed with a wide variety of air-to-air missiles and air-to-ground missiles, rockets or bombs, carried on a number of hardpoints under the wings.
