F-16 Dérivatives

[Tophe]

What about turbojets? No, there is no turbothing on these F-16s, they are just desk decoration objects

I am glad I bought, very cheap, V-1600 drawings from AerospaceProjectsReview, and this naval version of the F-16 is interestingly different from the land F-16

I have found on the Web what seems to be a F-16 rocket-plane, without air intake (I built one, years ago, but without undercarriage)

I saw a very interesting thumbnail, of a F-16 with a weird nose, so I clicked on it and... no, very disappointing: this was just the masking due to a circle, artificial... BUT hey, I am a what-ifer, so I may invent such a F-16, just for fun!

As I made with the Mirage 5, I am creating here a dissymmetric F-16 with the (single) fin at a distance from the fuselage:

A double of the previous one gets symmetry again:

I had the good surprise to discover today a X-tail F-16 (the Cyrillic word below reads "proyekt", meaning project):

from the Mirage CGI topic https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=10054.270 :

(...) as being a Mirage 5 - must have a single jet and single fin" (not like US F-12, F-13, F-14, F-15)::

I hear someone yelling "WHAT? A US F-13?! Impossible! Due to superstition!"
All right, this is the official side, but... secretly...
As the F-16 was like a small F-15, the F-13 was like a small F-12 (the YF-12 program being transformed later as SR-71), so the F-13 was like a mini SR-71., twin-fin and twin-jet, by Convair/GeneralDynamics

Of course, the F-13A (after the XF-13 and YF-13) was able to reach Mach 3.5+ which is called hypersonic.

It does have the F-16 tail colours!

[Tophe]

Great discovery tahsin, thanks!
The shape somehow is similar to the F-16XL while the date (1976) makes it a contemporary of the YF-16.
And it is a tailsit VTO (with parachute landing), weird!

On my side I have just been inspired by the Kelvin 40 jetplane without nose:

Even shorter would be this version (I may build it 1/144 next year):

So the Horten Brothers are alive and still working ? I do like that Mini Falcon in particular 

[Tophe]

Thanks!

And now a bifid F-16 (in the twin-boom F-16 family) and a related T-tail:
