The General Dynamics F-16, known as the Fighting Falcon, is a single-engine supersonic multirole fighter. Developed by General Dynamics in response to a requirement announced by the United States Air Force for an air superiority fighter, the F-16’s prototype emerged victorious in the competition after several redesigns and adaptations. The finalized design incorporated a frameless bubble-shaped canopy to enhance visibility, along with an ejection seat tilted 30 degrees to reduce g-forces on the operating pilots. The F-16’s agility was achieved through the use of the relaxed static stability/fly-by-wire flight control system, a pioneering technology at the time. With over 4,600 F-16 units and variants produced, the aircraft has evolved into a multi-role platform, with a significant number of military aircraft being procured from sources outside the United States.
Red Box is delighted to offer an extensive range of ground power and support equipment for this aircraft, including tugs, ground power units, start power units and more, all meticulously suited to meet the specific requirements of the Lockheed (General Dynamics) F-16 aircraft.
