A more complex difference is in the required dive recovery. The F16's have (even) on the upwind 20% more pitching moment then the A's and have 10% shorter hulls that need to withstand that and also have to carry 20% more weight. These three factors combine to require much more volume in the F16 hull over a shorter hull distance. This means that the bow angle is SIGNIFICANTLY greater (+35%) then on the A's; this is an important performance ratio as it determines the relative magnitudes between wetted surface drag and form drag (waves). I will stop here, but it must not come as a surprise that a 35% difference in bow angle makes the two designs alot less comparable then say a F16 to a F18 who both share an almost identical bow angle (100%).

I hope this answers your question.
