F-16 Dérivatives

[zenrat]

ST-16S is straight out of Star Wars Ep. I too III.

I think (based on the ailerons) that the thick side is forward. Propulsion is via "thoughts and prayers"

I like the lower F-16 - it can fly forwards or backwards!

[Tophe]

Thanks for the ailerons detail! (I had not noticed that), and that makes me change a little my interpretation:

[Rheged]

These amazing aircraft appear to be powered by thought alone!

Cue  the Moody Blues  "Thinking is the best way to travel"   from the LP  In Search of the Lost Chord

Thanks for this musical/technological confirmation!

Another F-16 was big, but not for cargo, just for huge extra tanks:

(inspired somehow by the cargo Conroy SkyMonster)

What-if the F-16 designer has been a little crazy?:

[Tophe]

What was before the F-16A? YF-16!
What was before the YF-16? Project 401? Wrong, simply XF-16 (without bubble canopy nor wing LERX):

What-if the F-16 designer has been a little crazy?:

The word WACKY popped to my mind (but I had to google it to confirm) 

[Tophe]

  Thanks! Google Translate tells me wacky = eccentric (in my French: farfelu, fou-fou)

[Tophe]

And do you know the ramjet Falcons?:

I put that also on my site http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/f16ofil.htm

[PR19_Kit]

And how about the F-16LE-022?

[Tophe]

Yes!:

[PR19_Kit]

Hmmm, I've got enough bits and pieces to build that too.

[Dizzyfugu]

Thanks! (trying to inspire modelers is the reason to post on this site)

And today I am adding one more, like supersonic Mistel: 

That comes very close to the "Colibri" from the Yoko Tsuno comics (with its jettisonable engine pod):

[Tophe]

Thanks to both of you!

And my searches for Leduc prototypes brought back in my memory the Leduc 030 project, and of course its F-16 derivative:
