[Avicenna]

Is this image new? The 2-seater does not appear to have a spine

EDIT: Fourth one from below does have one

No it's not new as it even appeared in an article dating back to 2017.

Who cares about F-16. F-16 sucks anyway.

US Airforce need to replace F-15's and also old F-16's. It is most likely that F-16 will be ordered other wise there were reports regarding almost 1500 aircraft need to be replace for whichF-36 King snake was being advertised as replacement.

There was something experimental called the F-16XL with cranked-arrow delta wing, which was not developed any further after one platform in the early eighties (lost out to F-15E). It did have a much higher loadout than the regular model.

Today with a more powerful F110 engine (also more reliable) and conformal tanks, this thing would be a worthy platform.

looks hideous compared to normal F-16 , thankfully this design wasn't adopted

By that definition, the SAAB J35 Draken (Dragon) - which was Gripen's Grand Daddy in the Swedish fighter hierarchy was also hideous. (Lansen->Draken->Viggen->Gripen).

But get this, Draken was developed in 1955! Yes- 1955. I think it was way too advanced for the world, no country other than Sweden could afford it. Design of small profile intakes, lifting body structure, supercritical type thin outer wing a la F104 starfighter, all trailblazing features for its day.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and sometimes practicality wins over beauty. Though Gripen is now a lot smaller than either Daddy or Grandpa.
