F-16 Fighting Falcon
The F-16 was devolved by General Dynamics as an improvement to the F-15 in 1973. The F-16 can fly up to mach 2+ (1,500 Mph), and can travel up to 2,280 Nautical Miles. The F-16 is an amazing part of American History, flying missions that no other jet of it's time could.

How much fuel does a f 16 burn an hour?
It can burn it's whole tank in eleven minutes on full afterburner. It would exceed the maximum speed though, and to slow down, G manuvering would be rough on the pilot. Airshow demonstrations of the F-16 use quite a bit of fuel. When the Blue Angels (F/A-18C) Solo's land, they only have about 11% of fuel left.
In a cruise, it will last for a few hours. In a high performance environment, 1.5 hours with external tanks. It really depends though!
$2.94 a gallon for JP-5 fuel!
F-16 is far better than JF-17 at any stage,
F-16 has better avionics, powerful engine, more hardpoints , fly-by-wire controls, can carry more fuel..............etc
F-16 was once considered the most fearsome jet ever build,it is highly capable all weather multi role fighter that can also drop bombs with deadly accuracy.
F-16 has been backbone of USAF for several years and is highly exported to other nations.
the advanced versions of F16 are even more lethal.
On the other hand JF-17or FC-1 is joint venture between Pakistan and China,
rumors are present over internet that is based on Rejected Russian LFI ( Light frontline fighter) project.
the most strange part of this aircraft is that though it has been the joint venture between China and Pakistan, China has't inducted single JF-17 in its airforce, one can only wonder why ?
The F-16 can fly approximately 2,400 miles without refuelling.
What is a travel pod used for on a f-16?
The pilot will store his luggage and equipment (golf clubs) in there and the ground maintenance personnel will store the probe covers, the intake cover, the chocks, and the ground cord in it.
What is rate of climb of the f 16 fighter?
The F-16 fighter jet has a rate of climb of approximately 50,000 feet per minute under optimal conditions. This impressive climb rate allows it to gain altitude quickly during combat situations or when evading threats. The aircraft's powerful engine and aerodynamic design contribute to its exceptional performance in terms of climb capability.
What is the air speed of an F-16?
The air speed of an F-16 is its speed traveling through the air. Same as any other aircraft.
Maybe you meant the maximum air speed, which depends on its altitude and configuration. For example at sea level, it can fly a little over 900 mph. At a higher altitude, without bombs and tanks under the wings, it can reach 1,500 mph.
Alternately, if you meant the lowest air speed, then that would be near the landing speed, which is around 120 mph.
Is there harmful substances in f-16 AIRCRAFT?
Haha, of course. Jet fuel; you swallow it, you die. I drink a gallon of JP-8 everyday, but I don't feel any side effects. Sure is spicy though.
What technical order do you use to replace a pin stowage box on an F-16 fighter aircraft?
Technical orders are time to time amended depending upon safety parameters.
How do you turn on after burner f16 in a f16?
Move the throttle handle forward into the augmenter range.
