At first glance the 'Super F-16' has a very MiG-29 look to it.

I knew that Super F-16 reminded me of something. Went digging and found it. Built by "Desertpilot" for the What-If GB on ARC a couple of years back. The F-2S Viper II!



HERE'S the in-progress thread. I don't think he ever finished it, though.
Hmmm, I've got soo many Hasegawa 1/72 F-2s.... Hmmm....

Has anyone tried to model the F-16 with APG-65 radar from the F/A-18:




The nose, the mouth,.... the resemblance is uncanny!  ;D
Okay, enough jokes at the expense of that poor Viper.

What if during the thawing of relations in the '70s/'80s, the USA provided F-16s ( maybe the J79 version) to the  Chinese?
PRC or ROC?  The F-16/79 was offered to the ROC by the Carter administration.  I could see the PRC buying F-16s that could be re-engined with their license-built afterburning Spey engines.

If Tienanmen Incident didn't happen, PLAAF F-16 sure could.

Carter would never sell anything that's an improvement over the F-5E/F and F-104G to Taiwan although GD was definitely enthusiastic about a ROCAF F-16/79 deal.

Perhaps an "even handed" approach?  Spey-powered F-16's for the PRC and afterburning TF41s used in the ROC's aircraft.

I agree.  Maybe give it a wood panel paint job for a winged "estate wagon" look :)

F-16XL wings with that 4Pax seating arrangement would look very good.

That looks like it could be adapted to fit the SR-71/YF-12 with minimum effort.

About Platypus... here is a F-16 XL with a duckbill nose!




Neat concept from the plan view.  Wonder how it would appear in profile with the platypus nose?

Super F-16 anyone:




Know your talking!!!
That should take care of some of the thrust-to-weight ratio the traditional F-16 design has lost, since it's first conception!!!
