Military Tungsten Alloy Cube in F-16 Fighting Falcon

Military tungsten alloy cube is usually consisted of W-Ni- Fe or W-Ni- Cu or even W-Ni-Cu-Fe. The most important property for tungsten alloy cube is that small volume with high density, which means it can be used as counterweight for F-16 Fighting Falcon.

The General Dynamics (now Lockheed Martin) F-16 Fighting Falcon is a single-engine multirole fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics for the United States Air Force (USAF). Designed as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a successful all-weather multirole aircraft. Over 4,500 aircraft have been built since production was approved in 1976. Although no longer being purchased by the U.S. Air Force, improved versions are still being built for export customers. In 1993, General Dynamics sold its aircraft manufacturing business to the Lockheed Corporation, which in turn became part of Lockheed Martin after a 1995 merger with Martin Marietta.

The space for counterweight in F-16 Fighting Falcon is limited. That requires counterweight must reduce its weight significantly. Military tungsten alloy cube has high weight but small value. So it is ideal counterweight for F-16 Fighting Falcon.
