QFA-16C Ghost Viper


The QFA-16C Ghost Viper is a single-airframe family of attritable unmanned combat air vehicles (UCAVs) and optionally-remotely piloted strike platforms developed by Pearlia Aerospace Development Corporation(PrADC) and fielded by the Pearlia Republic Air Force (PrAF). The type is derived from the airframe and systems baseline of the F-16C Block 70 but features lengthened, enlarged wings, additional underwing pylons, cockpit removal for dedicated mission systems/fuel/payload arrangements, and a full conversion of flight and avionics systems to unmanned/remote-control and autonomy standards. The Ghost Viper was designed to provide the PrAF with a lower-cost, high-agility strike and standoff capability able to operate in contested littoral and island environments.

Author's notes

I saw this UCAV F-16 somewhere in Pinterest and Secret Projects Forum. So as a Celebratory Post, I made this.


Feel free to modify it however you want, I would like to see it. Anyways thanks for upvoting. And btw, if you notice it has ReinMCDeer style, that's because I based it on his builds. I got inspired from him and NewWorldAerospace too
