F-16 Dérivatives

One turboprop Falcon was featuring a Channel Wing:

As well with a classical F-15 eggplane from Hasegawa, towards a different F-16 egg (not Hasegawa's F-16 eggplane):

That is cute.
It is fat enough to have a propeller inside, like the Stipa-Caproni:

Thanks perttime for the idea!
Immediately turned into another F-16:

If you wonder: "why is there, on the Stipa-Falcon, this little air intake at the bottom while there is already a so huge air-intake above (enough to feed an extra turbojet if required to complete the inducted propeller)?", the technical answer is "hehehe, joke!", and the fantasy answer is "to remind the lineage with the 'normal' F-16..."

There's usually something on an aircraft that needs cooling.

Thanks! So: there is an explanation, not zero!

Looking like a Bautek Pamir hang glider, the F-16DP was stealthy, featuring a fabric wing! It was first flown (and crashed at take-off) on 1976 April 1st:

I have found on the web a whole family of aircraft "like F-16" from a Turkish technical school:

You are very right, thanks! https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/grumman-fsw-x-29-g-712-and-its-rivals.208/

There was a FSW F-16 project, but, as far as the profile only is concerned I have modified a normal F-16 to look like a Sabrebat, with large canopy and little fin:

A Falcon F-16 and an Ilyushin 102 married and they had a baby, named F-16L-102...

What-if the new president says "Airshows must be safe! No need of separate aircraft close to one another, this is unnecessary risky, a single aircraft could do the job better!". "Yes sir!", sir:

A very swept wing (like on the ONERA Deltaviex of 1953) is good for high speeds (bad for low speeds):
