F-16 Dérivatives

[Tophe]

  (I don't understand precisely but probably this is the historical source of the word "fired out", no?)

And I have found another inspiring eggplane:

For the drawing above, I was increasing the height of the F-16 canopy and it was pleasant, then I changed the rest to follow the Tiger way, but then (here below) I try to increase the height of the canopy only, with unchanged nose and fuselage, and this is pleasant for my taste already. Note: 450% = 144/32 but not in all directions, just for heights which is possible in CGI but not in plastic available kits... :

What if ... you also increased the fuselage height, but not as much as on the Tigeralcon?

[Tophe]

Uh, just to match the canopy, nowhere else.
While to make like Tiger Model, I increased all the fuselage together (maybe too much, maybe I should have let the rear jet separate, ahem...)

The same with the 2-seat F-16:

And I have recently discovered the Grumman Academe, inspiring for a big-radar F-16:

Personally, I prefer asymmetry than symmetry but I am often blamed for that, so below I try to cure the vertical asymmetry of the "normal" F-16 nose, to smile simply:

Extending the windscreen angle into the nose (without radar):

Extending the windscreen angle into the nose (without radar):

Opposite (and more streamlined, aerodynamic): extending the nose angle into the windscreen:

^ That looks fast!

[Tophe]

Yes, increasing the top speed to Mach 2.7 with unchanged engine!

Now back to cartoon F-16, I have been very inspired by:
from https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=37210.3090

Egg planes and toons are whifs. Right?
Dassault Etendard IV M ( #59 / Flottille 17F / Hyères, 1979 )

I like the look of the Etenhard and Super Etenhard. They don't look bad shortened a bit.

Here is a similar F-16, thanks!

Inpired by another jet toon of Air-Pictures.fr (a Rafale) I created another F-16:

No more a cartoon but a F-16 without bubble canopy:

As I showed with the P-51Z family, there was a F-16Z zwilling-Falcon family, including very symmetric and very asymmetric prototypes:
