F-16 Dérivatives

[Tophe]

With a ventral air-intake the Korean T-50/FA-50 is almost a member of the F-16 family

The same with the IAR-95:

Thanks to ysi_maniac great Tornado-VIP at https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=29716.630, I posted there a F-16VIP, then I am replacing the passenger cabin by a kerosene tank:

The long fuselage makes me think of SR-71 and its predecessors.

Thanks!

Here is not a hypersonic Falcon but a subsonic Falcon, with rotating wing (Magnus effect lift):

I have found on the web, at ArtStation, a master of Photoshop, very inspiring:

Thanks to ysi_maniac playing with the engine of the Fiat G.91Y (at https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=29716.660 ), I felt inspired to create mixes of F-16 and G.91, thanks!

No need of a very long turbojet, a short one could be enough (I mean: this is good to change the shape, I don't care about performances):

There was also a mix of F-16 and F-4 designs (with smaller jets than on the F-4 maybe):

I have been inspired by the drawing Cutangus Cu-153D of March 2013 (pusher with a circular pod for the cockpit):

[Tophe]

Without a complete circle, this still creates a new shape of Falcon, possibly:

There was also a F-16 with twin noses:

Obviously, the design of the F-16 was made for 3 jets, not a single one:

Thanks to zenrat's model of what-if version of Shegyang J-15 eggplane (see https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=47077.60 ), I have been inspired to draw such a F-16 egg:

The Chinese Falcon may have 2 jets and lateral air intakes, a what-if spirit can bring it closer to the F-16:

Here is a F/A-16 without missiles but rocket launchers, old-style maybe:
