What it says in the title. You all know the sad story of the CF-105 that many of you love, but what if they ran a more or less paralel "CF-106" program, with same aerodynamics but smaller, cheaper and single engine, just like Dassault did in the sixties with it's Mirage family?

You can have the CF-105 live or not as well if you so wish, but could this CF-106 be a huge success? I can see it competing in the market with the light and single engines fighters of the sixties, F-104, F-5, MiG-21, Mirage-III and 5 and in best case scenario i can imagine it as a best seller. Would it be in time to kill most of F-104s market?
