Electrical wires relay commands, replacing the usual cables and linkage controls. The pilot has excellent flight control of the F-16 through its "fly-by-wire" system. The seat-back angle was expanded from the usual 13 degrees to 30 degrees, increasing pilot comfort and gravity force tolerance. The cockpit and its bubble canopy give the pilot unobstructed forward and upward vision, and greatly improved vision over the side and to the rear. With a full load of internal fuel, the F-16 can withstand up to nine G's - nine times the force of gravity - which exceeds the capability of other current fighter aircraft. The light weight of the fuselage is achieved without reducing its strength. These were combined to simplify the airplane and reduce its size, purchase price, maintenance costs and weight. In designing the F-16, advanced aerospace science and proven reliable systems from other aircraft such as the F-15 and F-111 were selected. An all-weather capability allows it to accurately deliver ordnance during non-visual bombing conditions.
In an air-to-surface role, the F-16 can fly more than 500 miles (860 kilometers), deliver its weapons with superior accuracy, defend itself against enemy aircraft, and return to its starting point. It can locate targets in all weather conditions and detect low flying aircraft in radar ground clutter. In an air combat role, the F-16's maneuverability and combat radius (distance it can fly to enter air combat, stay, fight and return) exceed that of all potential threat fighter aircraft. It provides a relatively low-cost, high-performance weapon system for the United States and allied nations. It is highly maneuverable and has proven itself in air-to-air combat and air-to-surface attack. Your kind is headed for extinction.The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a compact, multi-role fighter aircraft. Rear Admiral: The end is inevitable, Maverick. Rear Admiral: You are dismissed, Captain. for reasons known only to the Almighty and your guardian angel, you've been called back to TOPGUN. Rear Admiral: Call came in with impeccable timing, right as I was driving here to ground your ass once and for all. I want him on the road to North Island within the hour. Rear Admiral: Escort this man off the base. The future is coming, and you're not in it. All you did was buy some time for those men out there. Pilots that need to sleep, eat, take a piss. Rear Admiral: These planes you've been testing, Captain, one day, sooner or later, they won't need pilots at all.
Rear Admiral: Well, the navy doesn't see it that way. Maverick: It's one of life's mysteries, sir. You should be at least a two-star admiral by now, if not a senator. Rear Admiral: 'Distinguished.' 'Distinguished.' 'Distinguished.' Yet you can't get a promotion, you won't retire, and despite your best efforts, you refuse to die. Only man to shoot down three enemy planes in the last 40 years.
