The F-16 is one of the best aircraft. It contains fly-by-wire controls and is the most maneuverable aircraft in the world. Nicknamed "The Electric Jet" it needs computers to constantly keep it in flight. Instead of having a controller between the legs that is directly connected to the control surfaces, the F-16 has a sidestick on a console on the side of the plane, and that tells a computer to tell the control surfaces what to do. The F-16 can also double as an attack aircraft and drop bombs and launch numerous missiles and rockets. It is one of the best attack aircraft in the world, and many countries have bought it for their own personal use.
