F-16 Fighting Falcon
The F-16 Fighting Falcon is capable of maneuvers that exert up to nine G’s of force on the pilot. In contrast to previous fighters, the angle of the pilot’s seat has been increased from 13 degrees to 30 degrees. Designers of the aircraft believed that the increased angle would reduce strain on the pilot during high-speed maneuvers.http://www.af.mil/information/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=103 The aircraft can carry up to 12,000 pounds externally in the form of ordnance or extra fuel tanks. Although there are countless models of F-16s in operation, the original version carried a six-barrel Vulcan 20-mm cannon and two sidewinder missiles.http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/f16/
