General Dynamics F-16XL, an arrow-shaped wing, advanced performance
experiment from F-16 Fighting Falcon. As the first experimental
prototype of F-16E, F-16XL made its initial flight in July 1982, but
with all its nice-looking delta wing configuration, F-16XL failed to
be officially adopted after all. Two prototypes were transferred to
NASA in 1992 to be employed for HSCT research activities there.
This FS2002 model is depicted as one in virtual operation camouflage
scheme of USAF. Featuring moving ailerons, flaps, rudder, air brakes,
landing gears, landing lights, and landing gear covers in smooth animation.
Pilot head turns in sync with left/right turns. Textures render air
superiority gray colors, FS36118, FS36270 and FS36375 in the most
precise hues attainable, with realistic weathering and service stains
for better realism. By Shigeru Tanaka.
