Historical Figures

  • The work on the F-16 project began in 1971 at General Dynamics (which became part of the Lockheed Martin giant in 1993), entering the competition for a Light Weight Fighter (LWF) for the US Air Force. The prototype YF-16 flew for the first time on February 2, 1974. A significant breakthrough in technical terms was the use of an electronic fly-by-wire control system, which made it possible to reduce the wing and tail area and thus reduce the weight of the entire aircraft. 
  • The F-16 was the first fighter in the world to use such a system. The early versions were largely made of aluminum alloys (about 83% of the total structure), but over time they gave way to composites.
  • The different versions of the F-16 are powered by three versions of engines: Pratt-Whitney F-100-PW-200, General Electric F110-GE100, and Pratt-Whitney F-100-PW-2020. The "brain" of the guidance system was the APG-66 radar, which was later replaced by the APG-68 (V) radar. It is worth noting that the design of the YF-16 proved so successful that it not only won the LWF competition in the US (competing with the Northrop YF-17 aircraft), but also won the multi-role fighter contract for NATO European countries. Its competitors were the Dassault Mirage F.1 and SAAB J-37 Viggen. 
  • Serial production of the F-16 began in 1975. NATO European countries also participated, for whom it was an injection of new aviation technologies. Final assembly took place in the USA, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The first serial F-16A Fighting Falcon flew on August 7, 1978. It is an attack version of the F-16, intended primarily for dealing with ground targets. The F-16 also proved itself in combat, with a series of aerial victories in the Lebanon war (1982) and during Operation Desert Storm (1991). 
  • By the end of the 20th century, more than 4,000 of these successful aircraft had been produced. There were six basic versions of the F-16, designated A, C, E (single-seat) and B, D, F (two-seat). Based on these six models, numerous upgrades are created, most often associated with the replacement of avionics, designated "Block". 
  • Since 2006, the F-16 has also served in the Polish Air Force. The Polish Ministry of Defense decided that the F-16 would be the backbone of the modernized air force, rejecting offers from Dessault and SAAB, although in this case, the fighters were the Mirage F2000 and JAS-39 Grippen. Undoubtedly, the higher amount proposed by the American company as part of the so-called offset transaction.
