F-16 Dérivatives

[Tophe]

Of course, the designs above were rejected by the design bureau boss, even before general clients refused them.
The main problem was the fragility of the huge foreplane, but this could be cured (below)

(without more success, that is why you never saw them in the air)

I also added it on my F-16 what-if site http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/f16ofil.htm

This canard twin-boom F-16 was a little better with twin fins (fins at the rear of these booms), but still rejected

Like TheChronicOne built a F-16/T-38 mix at https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=48759.0
I am imagining a F-16/F-20 mix:

One thing that I've been wondering is: what if you put an F-16 canopy on an F-20.

[Tophe]

Thanks for this idea, immediately turned into drawing (and I add a more F-16ish derivative of mine):

Little flying models may have a mouse little animal as passenger, but be careful it may be attacked by an eagle (not a F-15 Eagle but a golden eagle or else):

A F-16XL with (very little) canards has been built by leptitprince and is featured on my site.

I have made the drawing of the AL-16 Concorde II:

Love this "widebody"

Combining F-16 and F-20

  Very good, thanks!

In 1986, the new Soviet President M.Gorbachev wanted a new symbol for communism, featuring F-16s of Western friends (no WW3! hurrah!):

For diner soup, I was ready to peel vegetables when I saw a weird carrot, bifid. I took a photograph. Then, during cooking, I drew a similar F-16, thanks Mother Nature for this inspiration!

When I was a kid, we were growing our own vegetables, including carrots. Sometimes they looked like trousers, with both "legs the same length. I'm sure I saw one with three "legs" too.

[Tophe]

Thanks: you are very right, Google found the photograph of a carrot with three legs at https://savvygardening.com/snapped-good-carrots-gone-wrong/
Maybe I could try to draw also such a F-16

[Tophe]

Thanks perttime! you are the father of the trifid (carrot) F-16!
