The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a multi-role combat monoplane from the American constructor Lockheed Martin. As part of the Lightweight Fighter programme, a design competition launched in 1974 for an economical aircraft with a ratio ofe/weight ratio superior to 1, allowing a vertical assembly, two American avionneurs were invited to design a prototype: General Dynamics the YF-16 and Northrop the YF-17 Cobra bimot. The YF-16 made its first flight on 2 February 1974 and was selected by the US Air Force to be produced in series. The YF-17 was perfected to become the F/A-18 Hornet fighter-bomber, selected by the US Navy. The F-16 Fighting Falcon was first produced in a monoplace version (F-16A) and a biplace version for training (F-16B). De nombreux autres modèles ont suivi, jusqu'au drone sans pilote QF-16, construit par Boeing entre 2012 et 2022. Modèle réduit du YF-16 avec 373 pièces, 1 figurine, des blocs imprimés et des éléments mobiles. Dimensions of the model (L x l x H): 31 x 22 x 11 cm.
