F-16XF Gyrfalcon

Description
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 2040's. The F-16XF was also choosen 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 include the COFFIN system, Larger Flaps and Ailerons, Canards, a more powerful engine, 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 known as the F-16XFU.
