If as many 48 F-16s are produced a yr currently, but no F-36 or F-16XL then why not the below? Integrate all practical upgrades which have emerged since the 90s. Some could be exportable while some versions would not be.​

[edit]
At a Senate executive session 'Air Force Acquisition Plans and Modernization Requirements' held on 22 April 1991, Major General Joseph W. Ralston, USAF Director of Tactical Programs, testified that the Falcon 21++ was supposed to have a new fuselage carrying AIM-120 AMRAAMs inside the fuselage. The Falcon 21++ was studied in 1990 as a cheaper alternative to the Advanced Tactical Fighter that became the F-22 Raptor. A blurry image of poor resolution shows the Falcon 21++ had a delta wing and twin vertical tails. The Falcon 21++ was also supposed to be powered by an ATF engine (P&W F119) and an AESA radar with ATF avionics, plus "as much observable treatment as could be placed on an airplane like that", according to Major General Ralston.
