Upgrade in the F-16V of Taiwan air force on, HAVE GLASS II is reduce radar cut area importantly (RCS) upgrade, this kind sucks a besmear outfit to be able to reduce the RCS of F-16 20~30% . On the phylogeny of F-16 battleplan, already experienced besmear of body of concealed of 3 acting HAVE GLASS to install, the HAVE GLASS II of Taiwan F-16V already was not latest technology. Of name of outfit of this kind of besmear " HAVE " the uniform code name that is project of air force secret, without what special meaning, these black projects are concerned with concealed body technology commonly.
Nevertheless, upgrade improve both neither to include airframe to prolong life, also do not involve upgrade engine, continue to withhold primitive imitate type Xian Chuanfei to accuse even, because this flies,function rises without a bit.
