It was found that a cranked-arrow wing shape would provide vastly increased lift without the usual limitations of a delta wing when paired with an F-16A fuselage.
The wing was swept back at a lower angle (50 degrees) near the root (for supersonic performance) and at a higher angle (70 degrees) outboard (for subsonic stability and handling). The surface area of the wings, 633 square feet, was more than double the wing surface area of a standard F-16A, but drag was reduced.
