The F-16XL is an Attacker variant of the F-16C Fighting Falcon. It features a cranked-arrow delta wing design, and can engage ground targets with speed and power, typically at a cost to its mobility.
The F-16XL was operated primarily by the Belkan Air Force during the Belkan War. It was also flown by the paramilitary terrorist organization A World With No Boundaries in limited numbers. The (former) OADFWizard Squadron used F-16XLs in conjunction with YF-23As.[1] Other notable pilots who flew this aircraft were Belkan aces Elmar Hahn, callsign Amsel,[2] and Thomas Hein, callsign Dichter.[3]
"A prototype bomber based on the F-16. Its main wings have been reworked into cranked-arrow delta wings, granting it greater mobility and more weaponry than the original. With enhanced low-speed flight stability, it is a formidable force against ground targets, but its mobility retained from the original model also allows it to perform well in close-range combat."
"A heavily modified version of the F-16. The main wing has been changed to a cranked-arrow delta wing and it has the largest weapon carrying capacity among the F-16 aircraft. It features improved stability in low speed ranges and its abilities as both an attacker and a bomber have also been improved. The aircraft competed with the F-15E in the Enhanced Tactical Fighter (ETF), a programme that was conducted by the United States Air force. Unfortunately, the aircraft was not adopted and is now used as a subject of flight research in research institutions."

"This modified F-16 features a double delta wing for better acceleration and maneuverability at low speeds. Its increased wing area allows for greater weapons payload, ideal for ground attacks."
