According to a press release by the Eaton company, Lockheed Martin
recently had an informal rollout of the F-16 Block 60. The Block 60
configuration incorporates some of the most extensive changes in
the history of the F-16 program.
The unique features include APG-80 multimode radar, infrared (FLIR)
navigation and targeting, advanced glass cockpit, fiber-optic
supported avionics, internal electronic countermeasures system and
a higher thrust 32,000 pound-thrust-class F110-GE-132 engine.
The F-16 is one of the most successful military aircraft programs
to date with more than 4,000 aircraft delivered to twenty-four
countries around the world. Most recently the United Arab Emirates
has ordered 80 Block 60 F-16s to be delivered during 2004 and
2006.
