	Dassault Rafale - Biocrawler
		The prototype Rafale C flew in 1991, the first of two Rafale M prototypes flew later that year, the prototype Rafale B flew in early 1993 and the second Rafale M prototype flew later that year.
		Initially the Rafale B was to be just a trainer, but Gulf War and Kosovo experience showed that a second crewmember is invaluable on strike and reconnaissance missions, and therefore more Rafale Bs were ordered, replacing some Rafale Cs.
		Dassault used this designation (D for discret or stealthy) in the early 1990s for the production versions for the Armée de l'Air, to emphasize the new semi-stealthy features they had added to the design.

	Dassault Rafale
		Dassault has in a single design satisfied the requirements of the both the Aeronavale and the Armee de L'air with this versatile multirole fighter.
		The Rafale C has a wingspan of 35 ft and 9 in(10.9 m) and a length of 50 ft 22 in(15.3 m).
		The Rafale M is slightly is slightly heavier and has 13 weapon points as it loses one to the tailhook.

	Air Force Technology - Rafale - Multi-Role Combat Fighter
		Rafale is a twin-jet combat aircraft capable of carrying out a wide range of short- and long-range missions, including ground and sea attack, air defence and air superiority, reconnaissance, and high-accuracy strike or nuclear strike deterrence.
		Rafale B and C entered service with the French Air Force in June 2006, when the first squadron was established.
		Rafale is equipped with a Thales TLS 2000 navigation receiver, which is used for the approach phase of flight.

	The Dassault Rafale
		Dassault was authorized to begin full development of an ACX demonstrator in early 1983, naming the machine the "Rafale (Squall)", while SNECMA began work on a new afterburning bypass turbojet for the ACX, the "M88".
		The Rafale B was originally seen primarily as a conversion trainer, to be purchased in small quantities.
		The Rafale M requires a much more formidable hook since a carrier jet snags the cable at full throttle in case the landing is a "bolter" and the aircraft has to come around for another try.

	Dassault Aviation, the first completely omnirole fighter aircraft
		The origins of the RAFALE can be traced to joint discussions between European nations taking place in the early eighties.
		But in the wake of the tri-national Tornado program which had put the most emphasis on air-to-surface functions, it soon appeared that the prime requirement of participating nations other than France was predominantly on the air-to-air side.
		Two of the types to be replaced had to be carrier-based with all the resulting implications in terms of force projection capability: fast-deployed, self-supporting and lethal with limited size.

	The Dassault Rafale
		Dassault was authorized to begin full development of an ACX demonstrator in early 1983, naming the machine the "Rafale (Squall)", while SNECMA began work on a new afterburning turbofan for the ACX, the "M88".
		Although two Rafale C prototypes had been planned, the second was judged redundant, but two prototypes, numbers "M01" and "M02", were built for the Rafale M. M01 took to the air in December 1991 and M02 followed in November 1993.
		The Rafale M requires a much more formidable since a carrier jet snags the cable at full throttle in case the landing is a "bolter" and the aircraft has to come around for another try.

	MILAVIA Aircraft - Dassault Rafale
		The two-seat Rafale B was designed as a dual control conversion trainer for the single seat Rafale C. But the Rafale B has now developed as a fully operational variant with full combat capability.
		Designed especially for the Aeronavale (French Navy Air Arm) is the carrier capable Rafale M. The Rafale M has for 80% the same structural design and for 95% the same systems as the Rafale C. It has strengthened main undercarriage, extended nosewheel suitable for catapult launch, hydraulically operated arrester hook, but has no folding wings.
		The Rafale was also marketed in Europe but most countries prefer to participate in the US-lead JSF developement or prefer the Eurofighter Typhoon or the cheaper Saab Gripen.

	[No title]
		The Rafale EW suite, known as Spectra, is one of the most powerful systems installed on a fighter aircraft and is intimately associated with the unique approach to stealth and survivability designed into the Rafale.
		Dassault has stated that the EW transmit antennas can produce a pencil beam compatible with the accuracy of the receiver system, concentrating power on the threat while minimizing the chances of detection.
		Dassault, Thales, and Snecma have no doubts that the Rafale embodies world-class technology, and its failure to secure export orders is clearly a source of frustration, as evidenced by Dassault's attempt to file a lawsuit against the Korean government following Korea's choice of the F-15.

	DASSAULT RAFALE
		New generation single seat aircraft, the RAFALE C is a multi-role fighter with exceptional capabilities.
		The RAFALE program is composed of three versions of multi-purpose twin-engine combat aircraft : single-seated air version RAFALE C, two-seater air version RAFALE B and single-seated navy version RAFALE M. These three versions are fitted with the same engine, the same navigation and attack system, the aircraft management system and the flight control system.
		Directly derived from the slightly smaller RAFALE A demonstrator, the three versions of the RAFALE retain all those qualities which have today been proven in flight : 750 KT, 9 g/-3.6 g, 32° maximum angle of attack, 115 KT approach speed, take off and landing in less than 400 meters.

	Dassault Rafale
		The Dassault Rafale A technology demonstrator made its maiden flight from his test-base Istres on July 4, 1986, and is the lead into the three operational versions, Rafale B biplace, Rafale C (chasse), for the French Air Force and the Rafale M (maritime) for the French Navy.
		In addition to high combat performance, the Rafale C would have a low landing speed and STOL abilities, and the Rafale M would be capable of operating from the nuclear-powered Charles de Gaulle aircraft-carrier.
		Rafale is fitted with 14 hard points (13 on the Rafale M) Five of these are designed for external tanks and heavy ordnance.

	Rafale, Dassault-Breguet
		Rafale A was the prototype, Rafale B is the two-seat version, Rafale C the single-seater, and Rafale M carrier fighter version.
		The Dassault Rafale is a relatively small airplane (it does not need folding wings to fit on a carrier) that carries a very heavy load.
		Dassault, Thales, and Snecma have no doubts that the Rafale embodies world-class technology, and its failure to secure export orders is clearly a source of frustration, as evidenced by Dassault's attempt to file a lawsuit against the Korean government following Korea's choice of the F-15.

		The Rafale is a French twin-engine delta multirole fighter aircraft designed and built by Dassault Aviation.
		The project was originally meant to replace England's and Germany's F-4 Phantom in 1977, but because of divergences on some specifications (France wanted SNECMA M88 reactors, England wanted Rolls-Royce RB199 and Germany wanted to use General Electric F404 motors), Dassault decides to withdraw from this project and to design its own multirole fighter.
		The original project conducted to the Eurofighter Typhoon, whose perfomances are often considered lesser especially in ground attack.

	Dassault Falcon Aircraft / Aircraft / Falcon Philosophy / Design
		Dassault is of course known worldwide as a maker of military aircraft, and the Falcon structure is perhaps the area where this influence is strongest.
		The second component of the Dassault Falcon philosophy of design is based on a production process integrating structural technique, calling on monolithic (single-piece) parts, produced from a single block of aluminum, either mechanically or chemically.
		Hence the Dassault Falcon philosophy of design evolves the art and science of structures, including the seemingly endless precautions that designers must take, and the long calculations and painstaking work hidden behind the final coat of paint.

	Dassault's 'Omnirole' Rafale Returns, It's Mission Is the Asian Marketplace
		Teaching English-speakers a bit about their own language, the French have deemed the Dassault Rafale to be an 'omnirole' fighter-clearly a cut above the common-or-garden multirole machine which the competition offers.
		The Rafale program, says Dassault, is alive and well: on track with regard to performance, budget and scheduled operational capability.
		Clearly, in the matter of Asian fighter requirements, Dassault is throwing down the gauntlet to the competing Eurofighter Typhoon, which has still to fly in production form and seems unlikely to meet its target date for entry into European service.

		Rafale have beaten americans planes in every comptetition organized by foreign countries to determinate what planes theses countries will buy.
		Dassault uses 'Omni Role' as a marketing term in an effort to differentiate the aircraft from other 'multi-role' fighters that have primary and secondary roles.
		Dassault also uses the term to indicate the Rafale's ability to switch from one role to another during a single sortie, although the term is mostly meant to encapsulate the fact that the Rafale is replacing seven specialised planes (more) (less)
