Lockheed Martin F-16XL Delta Falcon

4,921 Teslaiscute113  6 months ago

The General Dynamics F-16XL is a derivative of the F-16 Fighting Falcon with a cranked-arrow delta wing. It entered the United States Air Force's (USAF) Enhanced Tactical Fighter (ETF) competition in 1981 but lost to the F-15E Strike Eagle. The two prototypes were shelved until being turned over to NASA for additional aeronautical research in 1988. Both aircraft were fully retired in 2009 and stored at Edwards Air Force Base. Made with the best of my ability! <3

    @Teslaiscute113 "physics were a*s" on all F-16 on purpose, fighter mafia though knew that stability & maneuverability are 2 complete opposite, if you want a manoeuvrable plane you should push CoM back behind the CoL (and you'll have to you computerized artificial stability as well to make the aircraft controllable)
