These items are critical components of the single- place F-16 aircraft.. The actuator raises and lowers the canopy assembly, supports the canopy in the open position and must meet safety requirements. Qualified sources are required for these items to ensure the Air Force receives high quality actuators. This is critical for personnel safety, mission accomplishment and functional integrity.
