History
The General Dynamics F-16XL is a derivative of the American F-16 Fighting Falcon, from which it differs mainly because it has a delta wing design that is twice the size of the conventional F-16 wing.
It was a candidate in the United States Air Force's Enhanced Tactical Fighter (ETF) competition that eventually lost to the F-15E Strike Eagle.
After several years in which the prototypes were abandoned, they were recovered by NASA for aeronautical research.
