That project doing some nasty refinements  on a usual F16.

1. Heavily down-pointed canards.
2. Fuel-pumps between fuel-tanks.
   Want to change CG under flying ?
   Well, lets move some fuel.
3. Suitable computer-software.

The whole thing was to test viffing, pitching and so one.
Simply to make the plane point in a enterily different way
than the flight-path.
Current projects on this thing :
1. JAS-39 Gripen
2. Rafale
3. EFA
JAS-39 will be out first with first ac from serial production out on the
flight-line in about one and a half year.
THIS is no prototype.
It is intended to be fully mission-able.

HEHE.
We are first again.
You americans, what are you doing with your ATF.
Yes Gripen is also after schedule.
