| The Rafale ('Squall') was originally conceived in the early 1980s by Dassault as the ACX (Advanced Combat Experimental) to demonstrate technologies applicable to a French air force Jaguar replacement (ACT= Avions Combat Tactique) and a French navy Crusader and Super Etendard replacement (ACM= Avion de Combat Marine). The Rafale A technology demonstrator, powered by two General Electric F404 turbofans, was rolled out of the Saint-Cloud factory on 14 December 1985, and went supersonic on its first flight on 4 July 1986. In April 1987, the prototype demonstrated a series of approaches to the aircraft-carrier Clemenceau to establish the feasibility of carrier operations. In April 1989 the aircraft was laid-up for the substitution of a SNECMA M88-2 augmented turbofan in the port engine bay and flew in this configuration on 27 February 1990. The M88 is the selected engine for production versions of the Rafale.

True, they have excelled independently after that, but that's all. reply | | xwfxgwf, e-mail, 24.03.2014 01:23 Err. France give delta research. Then they came out. EF2000 != Rafale. On any point. Even the role of the plane. reply | |
| | Typhoon, e-mail, 02.11.2013 11:50 Well done France for pulling out of the Eurofighter project and using everyone elses research to rpoduce this aircraft reply | | SAL, e-mail, 01.11.2012 01:06 DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS AIRCRAFT WAS EVER TESTED IN THE SKIES OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTH GEORGIA IN THE LAST FEW YEARS? reply | | mclovin, e-mail, 08.05.2011 23:41 i think this thing pwned the f-22 once in an exercise in nevada. way to go, france! reply | | David Munroe, e-mail, 22.12.2010 18:56 How I agree with Paul. Well done France. Again!! Now, if Britain had not pulled out of the aircraft carriers planned, there would be 4 nuclear powered carriers for Europe, and if all equipped with Rafale, what a force. I just wonder how many British politicians made money from USA to destroy the co-operation? reply | | hervé, e-mail, 01.06.2010 11:40 Bonjour.
Désolé, je ne parle pas anglais.
Passionné d'aéromodélisme, je cherche des plans du rafale pour en faire une maquette volante de 70 cm environ.
Savez-vous ou je pourrais m'en procurer ?
Merci d'avance.
Cordialement.
