no tail wing......its a totally different craft

no tail wing......its a totally different craft

Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircaft Systems has proposed an improved version of the F-16, the F-16X, as the USAF's next multirole fighter. It would have a new wing based on that of the F-22 and no vertical tail. It would have twice the range of the F/A-18E/F at two thirds of the cost.

would be nice to see that project get realized

^^^^^^^^

deadly combo. Especially with the B-52 and the A-10

I think this is the best picture we had so far

Here is one more...

what is the radar range of our current F-16 A/Bs
which we have with us
and does they can operate BVR air-air missile

APG 66

Now as far as the range goes... there are different modes on the radar



Six Air-to-Air modes

Look-down (25-35nm)
look- up (30-40nm)
four Air combat maneuvering (ACM) modes (search and track, track while scan, automatic tracking, and air combat search)

Two Air-to-Ground modes & Two Air to Sea modes

Primary air-combat mode is look-down. In that mode, the APG-66 can detect a fighter-size plane at a range of 34.5 Nautical miles (55.6 kilometers). Four modes are available in air-to-air combat. In dogfight mode, the radar scans a 20 degrees x 20 degrees field. In high-g maneuvers, it scans a 40 degrees x10 degrees pattern.

JF-17 Radar "KLJ-7 Radar" is far batter then APG 66.

Radar Modes

Range While Search (RWS)
Velocity Search (VS)
Single Target Track (STT)
Track While Scan (TWS)
Dual Target Track (DTT)
Situational Awareness Mode (SAM)
Air Combat Mode (ACM)(with five sub-modes)
Real Beam Map (RBM)
Doppler Beam Sharpening (DBS)
Ground Moving Target Indication/Ground Moving Target Track (GMTI/GMTT)
Air to Ground Ranging (AGR)
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)
Sea Single Target Track (SSTT)
Beacon (BCN)

Look-up: ≥105 km (for RCS of 5 m2)
Look-down: ≥85 km (for RCS of 5 m2)
Total targets tracked: 10 in TWS (Track-While-Scan) mode

The KLJ-7 has multiple modes, both beyond-visual-range (BVR) and close-in air-to-air modes, ground surveillance modes and a robust anti-jamming capability. The radar can reportedly manage up to 40 targets, monitor up to 10 of them in track-while-scan (TWS) mode and simultaneously fire on two BVR targets.[2] The detection range for targets with a radar cross-section of 5 square meters is stated to be ≥105 km (≥85 km in look-down mode). Surface sea targets can be detected at up to 135 km
