The F-16C Block 70, the newest and most advanced F-16 production configuration, combines capability and structural upgrades into the most advanced F-16 production aircraft ever offered. The single seat F-16C Block 70 aircraft is powered by a single F110-GE-129 engine and is equipped with the AN/APG-83 SABR AESA radar. Besides, the new generation F-16 features a 12,000 flight hours service life. As of early 2017, the F-16 Block 70 aircraft program was being considered by the US Air Force as the replacement for the F-15C/D Eagle air defense fighter in the 2020s with several hundred aircraft to be ordered. Finally the requirement was dropped in favor of the F-15X/EX program.
