The F-16XL was initially generally known as the F-16 Supersonic Cruise and Maneuver Prototype (SCAMP). Basic Dynamics invested significantly in analysis into this space – albeit this by no means progressed past theoretical and model-based efforts. When mixed with an F-16A fuselage, Basic Dynamics found {that a} cranked-arrow wing type may considerably improve raise. Basic Dynamics even collaborated with NASA on the venture, testing greater than 150 variants in NASA wind tunnels over 3600 hours of flight time.
The US Air Pressure declared in March 1981 that it was available on the market for a alternative fighter for the F-111 Aardvark. Basic Dynamics determined to submit the F-16XL into the competitors. It might be the F-15E Strike Eagle that may in the end be chosen because the profitable entry within the competitors. Nonetheless, two F-16XL prototypes have been produced, and so they stay two of probably the most uncommon prototype plane ever created.
