The Dassault MD 450 Ouragan was a French full-metal, half-shell, low-wing fighter-bomber jet. The drive was provided by a single engine Rolls-Royce Nene 104B. The flight of the prototype took place in February 1949, and serial production continued in the years 1949-1954, ending with the production of 118 machines. The planes were decommissioned in the 1980s.
The French aviation industry, due to the German occupation during World War II, did not work on its own jet plane. However, after 1945 it was decided to change this state of affairs. Work on the first French combat jet was carried out very efficiently at the Dassault plant under the supervision of their boss - Marcel Dassault. In his works he relied heavily on American designs of the late 1940s, airplanes: F-80 and F-84. The result of these works was the very successful Dassault MD 450 Ouragan, which entered the line in 1952, replacing the then obsolete De Havilland Vampire aircraft. Airplanes of this type were exported to India, El Salvador, but especially Israel, in the service of which they proved to be fantastic as airplanes close to support the land forces during the Suez crisis (1956) and the Six-Day War (1967).
The Dassault-Breguet Super Etendard is a French, single-engine, airborne fighter-attack aircraft, flown on October 28, 1974. The drive is provided by a single SNECMA Atar motor with a thrust of 4900 daN. The machine was created as a modernization of the Dassault Etendard IVM aircraft. Two versions of the Super Etendard were created: "M, which is a fighter-attack model, and" P "- a reconnaissance aircraft. Serial production of this machine was small: 71 were produced for the use of the French Navy, 14 were exported to Argentina, and 5 to Iraq. took part in the war for the Falklands, where they sunk the destroyer HMS Sheffield, HMS Atlantic Conveyor and seriously damaged HMS Glamorgan using AM-39 Exocet II missiles. , wingspan (maximum): 9.6m, height: 3.86m, maximum speed: 1.15Ma, rate of climb: 102m / s, ceiling practical: 16000m, operating radius: 720km, armament: fixed two cannons DEFA 553 cal .30mm, suspended - up to 2100 kg load.The Dassault Mirage III / 5/50 is a French single-engine fighter-attack aircraft with a delta-shaped lobe, without horizontal tail. In late 1955, Dassault began building a single prototype that retained the delta wing and an enlarged fuselage that could accommodate one SNECMA Atar 101G1 engine. The resulting Mirage III-001 was flown on November 17, 1956, to reach a flight speed of 1.52Ma after just two months. The use of manually controlled cones in fixed side inlets and the Atar 101G2 engine with thrust increased to 4490 kg, allowed to increase the speed to 1.65Ma, and then by using the SERP rocket accelerator - to 1.8Ma. To achieve the highest speed, Dassault modified the wing and after the first flight on May 12, 1958, Mirage IIIA reached the speed of 2.2Ma with an additional rocket engine. This led to the launch of production of the two-seater training version with tandem seats - the Mirage IIIB and the single-seat interceptor Mirage IIIC. The latter version had a built-in Cyrano AI radar, and two 30mm cannons could be supported by Matra R.530 or AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. The next important version was the long-range Mirage IIIE fighter-bomber, with the Atar 9C engine built into a slightly extended hull. This version was equipped with the Cyrano II radar, which, in combination with the Doppler radar and the TACAN navigation system, made it possible to conduct an attack at low altitude without the target's visibility in all weather conditions. Modification programs Mirage III (and derivatives V and 50) include the installation of modern navigation systems, weapons control and adaptation to modern types of weapons. The second area of modification is the installation of Atar 9K-50 engines with a thrust greater by about 20%, adaptation to centralized refueling under pressure and refueling during the flight, installation of zero-zero class catapult seats, improved visibility from the cabin, installation of front control surfaces increasing maneuverability in air combat, adaptation to carrying containers, e.g. for electronic warfare, laser target marking, recognition or infrared imaging of targets. Technical data (version IIIC): length: 14.77m, wingspan: 8.22m, height: 4.25m, maximum speed: 2.2Ma, climb speed: 83m / s, maximum range (with additional tanks): 4000km, maximum ceiling 17000m, equipment: fixed - two 30mm DEFA 552 cannons, suspended (Mirage 5) - up to 4200 kg of cargo.The Dassault Mirage 2000 is a French, single-engine fighter-attack aircraft with delta wings in a low wing configuration. On December 18, 1975, the French government supported the launch of the new Dassault Mirage 2000 program, an aircraft as small as possible and with a 1: 1 weight-to-thrust ratio, using the SNECMA M53-3 engine. Mirage 2000 reverts to the triangular wing concept. Thanks to the fly-by-wire control and the location of the center of gravity far back, the plane was very maneuverable. The experience gained with the Mirage III resulted in an increase in the wing area, which resulted in a lower surface load and guaranteed better flight performance at low speeds. The use of an automatically lowered leading edge associated with the movement of ailerons resulted in a change of profile, which further increased performance and controllability at low speeds. Five prototypes were built. The first flew on March 10, 1978, and the fifth - Mirage 2000B (two-seater training version) in October 1980. The first serial Mirage 2000C flew on November 20, 1982. An interesting version is also the Mirage2000N, capable of carrying nuclear weapons. According to Dessault Mirage 2000, it is capable of intercepting a target flying at an altitude of 25,000 meters at 3Ma within four minutes after take-off from the airport. Mirage 2000 is equipped with military aviation, among others. in France, Greece, India, Brazil. Technical data (Mirage 2000C version): length: 14.36m, wingspan: 9.13m, height: 5.2m, maximum speed: 2.35Ma, climb speed: 284m / s, maximum range (with overhead tanks): 3335km , maximum ceiling 18000m, equipment: fixed - two 30mm DEFA 554 cannons, suspended - up to 6000 kg of cargo.
