The F-16 Fighting Falcon was designed by General Dynamics, specifically by a team led by engineer Harry Hillaker, who is often referred to as the "father" of the F-16. The aircraft was developed in the 1970s as a lightweight air superiority fighter and has since become one of the most widely used multirole fighters in the world. In 1993, General Dynamics sold its aircraft manufacturing division to Lockheed Martin, which has continued to produce and upgrade the F-16.
