If your interested you can calculate the turn performance to get a more realistic idea how they compare.[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.f-16.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=53852[/URL]You would just figure what the weight should be for an F-16/79 would be (and F-16a with a J79 rather then an F100) and look up the thrust curves of the most comparable J79 variants. The documents containing F-16 aerodynamic information is in the linked topic.I’m not sure if F-20 performance figures are available besides 11.8 degrees a second at Mach .8 15000 feet. If not I suppose you can get aerodynamic information on a late model F-5 and guesstimate. Look up thrust curves for the F404. The production Tigershark would have gotten an upgraded engine. There are some thrust figures for the 402 engine at different altitudes at transonic speeds if your interested, in a GAO report on the Super Hornet.
