Cranked arrow delta refers to the two different sweeps if the delta wing. A tailless delta the leading edge is straight, where as the "cranked" the foremost sweep is more severe for better mobility at high speed and a the aftmost part less severe to provide stabiltiy at lower speeds. This plane was not the first "cranked" wing either that title belongs to the Saab 35 Draken back in the 60's entire decade ahead of the F-16's introduction.
