[Hi,

On some F-16's I have noticed a grill plate at the front of the air-intake. What's the story with this and why have some F-16's got it and others not? Does it increase performance in some way?

Regards

Could you tell more about this grill plate or maybe send a picture ?
I don't think that it is something they fly with. Maybe it's just used when testing the engine inside the aircraft on the ground.
