General Dynamics F-16 VISTA
The General Dynamics F-16 VISTA (Variable stability In-flight Simulator Test Aircraft) is an experimental aircraft derived from the F-16 Fighting Falcon. The F-16 VISTA testbed aircraft incorporated a multi-axis thrust vectoring (MATV) engine nozzle that provides for more active control of the aircraft in a post-stall situation.
Il General Dynamics F-16 VISTA (Variable stability In-flight Simulator Test Aircraft) è stato un aereo sperimentale, costruito in un solo esemplare, derivato dall'F-16C/D Fighting Falcon e con il quale l'USAF ha condotto dal 1988 al 1997, una serie di programmi di sviluppo.1
Made by General DynamicsLockheed Martin.
It is the successor of the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon .
