The Etendard VI had tricycle landing gear, all assemblies with single wheels, the nose wheel retracting backward and the main gear hinging in the wings in towards the fuselage.
The Etendard II was slightly larger than the Etendard VI, with a length of 12.89 meters (42 feet 4 inches), a span of 8.74 meters (28 feet 8 inches), and an empty weight of 4,120 kilograms (9,280 pounds).

 Dassault Rafale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dassault also uses the term to indicate the ability to switch from one role to another during a single sortie - a 'Swing Role' capability first seen in the F/A-18 Hornet.
Dassault Rafale M. In the mid 1970s, both the French Air Force (Armée de l'Air) and Navy (Aéronavale) had a requirement (the Navy's being rather more pressing) to find a new generation of fighter (principally to replace AdlA Jaguars and Aéronavale Crusaders), and their requirements were similar enough to be merged into one project.
Dassault immediately filed a court injunction in Seoul, disputing the selection process, which it claimed to be biased in favor of US interests.

Dassault developed the Etendard to meet a NATO requirement for a light strike fighter.
The requirement for an Etendard replacement was to originally be met by a navalised development of the SEPECAT Jaguar.
Since entering service in 1978 the Super Etendards have been the primary strike aircraft of French naval aviation but with the coming of the Rafale M they will be phased out of service.

 Dassault Étendard IV   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Dassault Étendard IV was a French carrier-borne "strike" fighter in service with the French Navy.
Dassault used variations of the same basic design to produce prototypes for both these specifications, designated the Étendard II and Étendard VI respectively, neither of which led to any orders.
Able to generate interest from the Navy, Dassault built a prototype navalised version, first demonstrated to the service in 1958 and which resulted in an order for 69 fighter aircraft, designated Étendard IVM and 21 reconnaissance versions designated Étendard IVP.

 Dassault Etendard IVM - shipboard fighter
The private venture Etendard IV, which had shared little more than a conceptual commonality with the Etendard II and VI lightweight strike fighters, attracted France's Aeronavale as a basis for a multi-role shipboard fighter.
The second pre-production aircraft was completed with an 5080kg Rolls-Royce Avon 51 engine and flap blowing as the Etendard IVB, and one additional pre-production aircraft ordered in September 1959 was completed with a camera nose as an Etendard IVP.
Sixty-nine IVMs (plus 21 IVP tactical reconnaissance aircraft) were delivered between 1961 and 1965, fulfilling both intercept and tactical strike roles from French carriers.

 Super Etendard
Etendard IV is a family of single-engine, single-seat, carrier-based fighter aircraft developed by Dassault in the late 1950s against a requirement form NATO for a turbojet-powered attack aircraft.
The French Navy funded the Etendard IV development to serve as a carrier-based aircraft.
Super Etendard is basically an enlarged variant of Etendard IVM powered by a more powerful non-afterburning Atar 8K-50 engine rated at 11,000 pounds of thrust.

The Etendard IVP were handed over at the Dassault assembly line at Bordeaux-Mérignac, and flew towards their temporary "nest" at Istres-Le Tubé.
Sixteen years after it received its first Etendard, the squadron had logged no les than 54 700 hours and 10 875 traps on Etendard IVM and P. On June 27th 1980, the Etendard IVM made its last flight and on September 5th 1980 the first Super Etendards were delivered.
