I may even try to illustrate your wrong reading, making it creative, thanks! :thumbsup:
Here is the result, thanks!: <_<

There would be a problem of airstream with the wing just after the canard, not staggered, and the wing should be more rear for good centering, but this is whif world!

On my F-16 what-if site http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/f16ofil.htm
I add today a Draken Falcon or Falcon Draken
(the F-16XL was called a double delta like the J-35 Draken but it lacked the lateral air intakes): <_<

That looks a LOT better than a 'normal' F-16, or even an XL too.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Wow you've got every conceivable concept covered  :thumbsup:

Tophe

Thanks a lot, both of you! <_<

And also with a thin front part was this sub-family (mixing F-16 and XQ-4): <_<

(not very powerful means: cheap! export success?)

Tophe

The ancestor of the F-16 had no turbojet of course, but no enclosed canopy too (being so slow, no problem with the wind): <_<

P.S. General Dynamics came from Convair that came from Consolidated-Vultee that came from Consolidated, maybe this is the source somehow.

In 2012, I saw this old-style F-16 (then I forgot it): <_<

A mix of Falcon and Optica: <_<

Thanks!

More "seriously", here is the F-16TT which is a pilotless UAV:

While most F-16s were dogfighters at less than Mach 2, there was a project of Mach 3 interceptor as well, without bubble canopy:  <_<

BAC/EE Lightning II? (instead of Lockheed F-22 Lightning II):  <_<

#239
There was also a 4-engine-pod delta F-16:  <_<

It was built and flown for real! (in my dream)
