General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon F-16E/F Block 60 Desert Falcon

Known as the "Desert Falcon", Block 60 was developed specifically for the United Arab Emirates, which signed the contract in March 2000 for 55 single-seat E and 25 two-seat F models. It is the first F-16 version designed from the outset with conformal fuel tanks (CFTs) integrated into the airframe, and carries the most powerful engine ever fitted to an F-16, the General Electric F110-GE-132 (144 kN). It features the APG-80 active electronically scanned array radar, an internal infrared search-and-track (IRST) sensor, and an all-digital cockpit. First flight took place on 13 December 2003 and deliveries to the UAE Air Force began in May 2005.
