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 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.

F-16AFTI Advanced Fighter Technology Integration Project
The closest real life life comparison to the F-16XFU Gyrfalcon was this aircraft the F-16AFTI project aircraft.
The USAF used this highly modified fighter for more than 20 years to test new and award-winning ideas in flight control, electronic targeting and cockpit design. A one-of-a-kind aircraft, the Advanced Fighter Technology Integration (AFTI) F-16 made more than 700 flights in 10 different research programs between 1978 and 2000.
