DescriptionEdit

The F-16, thanks to the number of aircraft left in service was deemed a prime candidate for upgrading. A series of upgrades made this fighter into something that would be viable given the drastically different combat conditions of the 2040s. The F-16XF was also chosen as one of the aircraft that could be made, upgraded, serviced cheaply thus providing a prime competitor for the R-101 series in the export area.

It's upgrades on F-16XF include the new COFFIN system, Larger Flaps, Ailerons, Canards, new powerful engine than other F-16 variant, redesigned Air Intake, Larger Leading Edge Root Extensions and Flap/Elevator Joint Controls.

An export variant was made for the UPEO in 2045. It is now also known as the F-16XFU Gryfalcon.
