The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a compact, light-weight, highly maneuverable, multi-role fighter. Key features of the design include a very high power/weight ratio fro good performance in climbing and turning flight, a fly-by-wire control system for maximum agility, a semi-reclinig pilots seat to increase pilot comfort and gravity force tolerance, a clear-view canopy offering unexcelled fields of vision, advanced avionics for long-range targeting and accurate weapon delivery.
