That number grows to 311 by fiscal year 2021. These numbers are based on the today's programmed F-16 attrition rate of 3.6%, an estimated 8,000-hour F-16 service life, and fielding of the Joint Strike Fighter beginning in fiscal year 2009. This research study will attempt to answer the question, Will there be sufficient combat-capable F-16 aircraft available to meet USAF force structure requirements prior to fielding of the JSF? The study attempts to answer the question by looking at the current state of the USAF F-16 fleet and then by looking at the Joint Strike Fighter Program as the replacement for the F-16, it's forecast schedule, funding, and associated risk. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biblioscholar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47573134377111,"sku":"9781288292103","price":5093.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781288292103.webp?v=1774892045","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/extending-usaf-f-16-force-structure-9781288292103","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
