How fast is a F16?

The speed of an F-16 depends on the specific model and configuration of the aircraft. Here are the maximum speeds for various F-16 variants:

- F-16A/B: Mach 2.05 (approximately 1,325 mph or 2,133 km/h) at sea level

- F-16C/D: Mach 2.05 (approximately 1,325 mph or 2,133 km/h) at sea level

- F-16E/F: Mach 2.0 (approximately 1,287 mph or 2,071 km/h) at sea level

- F-16I: Mach 2.0 (approximately 1,287 mph or 2,071 km/h) at sea level

These maximum speeds are achieved with the aircraft in a clean configuration (without external fuel tanks or weapons). The speed may be reduced with additional drag from fuel tanks, weapons, or other modifications.

It's also worth noting that the F-16's speed can vary depending on factors such as altitude, air temperature, and the aircraft's weight and configuration.
