The General Dynamics F-16XL is a derivative of the F-16 Fighting Falcon with a cranked-arrow delta wing. It entered the United States Air Force 's (USAF) Enhanced Tactical Fighter (ETF) competition in 1981 but lost to the F-15E Strike Eagle.

通用動力F-16XL戰鬥機（英語：General Dynamics F-16XL）是1980年2月通用動力自資進行的「超音速巡航和機動」計劃（Supersonic Cruise and Maneuvering Program, SCAMP）改進計劃，由美國空軍提供了2架F-16 A/B作為改裝，進行了F-16 三角箭形機翼(箭簇)布局的試驗，F-16XL的機 …

F-16XL是一种基于 F-16战斗机 生产型改装而来的验证试验机，属于F-16战斗机的衍生机型，共改装了两架，该机延续了F-16战斗机的特点，又在此基础上做了较大改变，采用双三角翼，使其多项性能远优于前者。 测试证明这种改造是成功的，后来参与了双重任务战斗机的竞标，但因不敌竞争对手而落败，1985年试飞结束的F-16XL被封存。 后这个项目被F-15E取代。 [2] 1974 年，生产型 F-16A/B 全尺寸 发展 工作刚结束， 通用动力公司 就着手 F-16 后继机的研制工作。 其目的要 …

2014年10月21日 · Two F-16XL aircraft were used by the Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, CA, in a NASA-wide program to improve laminar airflow on aircraft flying at sustained supersonic speeds. It was the first program to look at laminar flow on swept wings at speeds representative of those at which a high-speed civil transport might fly.

2023年11月6日 · NASA's two-seat F-16XL research aircraft streaks over the California desert near the Dryden Flight Research Center, during its final flight... The laminar flow control panel in the left wing (dark area, forward center) of NASA's F-16XL is highly visible in...

Eliminating the layer of rough air creates a laminar flow condition that reduces aerodynamic drag and contributes to fuel savings. The F-16XL aircraft were built by General Dynamics Corp., at Ft. Worth, Texas, as prototypes for a derivative fighter evaluation program conducted by the Air Force between 1982 and 1985.

2025年3月1日 · The F-16XL remains a landmark in the evolution of fighter aircraft—a bold experiment that dared to challenge conventional design wisdom. Its revolutionary aerodynamic layout, impressive performance enhancements, and ambitious technological integrations set new standards that have echoed through decades of aerospace innovation.
