F-16C/D block 25

F-16C/D
block 25
 
Production of the F - 16C / D to start with 25 blocks (also known as MSIP Stage II) first F - 16C (ID # 83-1118) flew 19 June 1984 and was delivered to the Air Force a month later. the new variables used in the production line in December. Flight testing of the new issues F - 16C, most of which are related to software problems. Time to develop a step by a hardware problem has now become a fast software bugs and shortage of people who understand both computers and airplanes.

Following the initial delivery to the foreign TFTS 312st stationed at Luke AFB in Arizona became the first unit of the Americas will be F - 16C / D is a plane for the first time in a month. April of 1986, and became fully operational in October 1988.
25 Block F - 16C / D is powered by the Pratt & Whitney F100 - PW - 200 turbofan, but they have since been the standard - 220E.And aircraft structures.
Implementation of the MSIP II stage in the production line F - 16 resulting in the second generation of aircraft F - 16 beginning with Block 25, F - 16C and F - 16D (a strain to another. seats and two seats are assigned), features several improvements.

    Northrop Grumman ESSD (known previously as. Westinghouse) AN/APG-68 (V) radar, presents a more extended range of operating modes, improved ECCM capability and resolution, sharper AN/APG-68 (V) is the most progressive in the range. APG - 66 of the F - 16A / B array plane, the nose is on the air - to - air mass, as well as during the search uplook and find the speed to track a single target, the resolution to attack the group and track while scan. The 10 goals the ability to see beyond the increase in the monitor mode PRF to high continuous-wave (CW) light for the introduction of the AIM - 7 Sparrow semi-active missiles back home. radar For the air-to-ground mode, with fixed as well as permanent and the sail is moving, mapping the surface, Doppler beam sharpening, ranging, beacon, and freeze the target. Mode is used for navigation and to fix compensation for the bombing. Mode of shipping and real beam mapping, sea search, target tracking, fixed and ground moving target indication and tracking. There is also a mode of freezing. I expected the ground to determine the mode that includes a real-mode beam ground mapping mode, FTT, the display mode and Doppler beam mode resolution. I mean the mode of land transport as well as the real beam ground mapping, GMTI or TMTT, display, expanded and frozen.
    Glass cockpit with two MFD and GEC Marconi Avionics, wide angle holographic HUD, control Up - front, FLIR video, and mission of the Fairchild unit of data transfer.
    The capacity increasing environmental controls and electrical systems.
    The MIL STD - 1760 bus / weapon interface that allows the use of shareholder Maverick - 65D, and AIM - 120 AMRAAM missiles.
    Computers, fire control has been improved.
    Improving the management of computer stores.
    USAF standard inertial navigation system (INS).
    Radar altimeter.
    Anti - jam radio, UHF.
Changes in weight gain up to Take - Off to £ 43,300 (19,640 kg), they have improved the ability of the Falcon for BVR missions and night missions, the accuracy / attack aircraft. Shortcomings of the F - 16A capability, these profiles are an obvious task, especially in its operations throughout Europe, the weather is generally not a good time.
Outside, F - 16C, is almost identical to the F - 16A, just outside the main difference is the introduction of the F - 16C of the base of the triangle to expand or "island" on the back of the body that lead to the vertical fin. with a small blade antenna protruding up from it. This space was originally intended to house the Westinghouse / ITT AN/ALQ-165 ASPJ (Self - Airborne Anti-Jammer) used in the Navy's aircraft programs USAFs ASPJ become mired in controversy in 1989-90, followed by the withdrawal. U.S. Air Force in January 1990 as a result of a project that was never installed in ASPJ USAF F - 16s.Modifications and upgrades.
ANG and AFRC F - 16C / D's are scheduled to be installed on the Termal Bath / Udsen pids (antenna integrated payment systems), EWMS Terma of Elektronik (Electronic Warfare Management System).ManufacturingTotal of 209 blogs, 25 C 35 D models and models have been delivered to the Air Force. U.S. Air Force will be used. The sole of this blog. Get a regular unit of the Air Force to get it the first time. With the availability of the block after the 30/40/50 edition came off the production line from 1986 onwards, all of these aircraft now operating in the shops.Spec.
