F-16 Dérivatives

[thundereagle1997]

A futuristic f-16 with canard & horizontal tailplane one day for Australia & twin engines for long range

I have imagined, with a shortened turbojet, a twin-boom F-16 with booms on fuselage not on wings:

with booms on fuselage not on wings:

This principle is better shown on this slightly different version:

F-16XL with 2 tails, and maybe 2 fins:

On an XL, the fins could be on those "pods" near the crank of the wing. Perhaps slimmer canards like on the Eurofighter?

The top one is the Chinese J-14 concept.
