	Dassault Rafale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		The first Rafale C delivered to the Armée de l'Air, in June 2005, was to the "F2" standard, and it is anticipated that upgrades similar to those of the navy will take place in the future.
		The Rafale replaces the Mirage F1 and the Mirage 2000 in the Armée de l'Air.

	The Dassault Rafale
		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 B is fully equipped with operational kit, and the control layout for the front and back seats is as similar as possible to ensure maximum operational flexibility.
		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.

	Naval Technology - Rafale - Multirole 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.
		The Rafale is produced in three variants, M, B and C. The Rafale M variant is a single-seater carrier-based version for the navy, B and C are two-seater and single-seater variants for the Air Force.
		Rafale is equipped with a Thomson-CSF TLS 2000 navigation receiver which is used for the approach phase of flight.

	Rafale
		The Rafale program is composed of three versions of multi-purpose twin-engine combat aircraft -- the single-seater air version Rafale C, two-seater air version Rafale B and single-seater 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.
		The Rafale C is a multirole fighter with a fully integrated weapons and navigation systems, making use of the latest technology and is capable of outstanding performance on multiple target air-to-air missions and air-to-surface missions deep behind enemy lines.
		The two-seater Rafale B retains most of the elements of the single-seater version, and its weapon and navigation system is exactly the same; the Rafale B can perform any operational mission with a lon pilot or with a crew consisting of two pilots or of one pilot and a weapons system operator.

	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 total domestic requirement for Rafale is 294 aircraft: 60 Rafale M and BM for the Navy, 139 two-seat land-based aircraft and 95 single-seat Air Force variants.
		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.

		The aircraft has undergone a protracted development, for mostly political and economic rather than technical reasons; the first demonstrator flight was in 1986 but the first production aircraft entered service only in 2002.
		The Rafale carries, for the first time in aviation history, an integrated electronic survival system named SPECTRA which features a software-based virtual stealth technology.
		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.

	The Dassault Rafale
		Two Rafale demonstrators were actually specified at the outset, but the order was later cut to one.
		The Rafale B was originally seen primarily as a conversion trainer, to be purchased in small quantities.
		The Rafale C and B actually do have a runway arresting hook, but it is much less prominent.

		The Rafale appears to have grown from the Mirage 4000 concept, incorporating Dassaultís experience with the Etendard family of carrier-based strike aircraft and the air-to-air success of the Mirage 2000.
		While the Rafale was to be powered by SNECMA M88s, the engines were not going to be ready in time for the prototype's flight schedules.

		Rafale's ability to perform multiple mission profiles and combat requirements during a single mission - something even multi-role fighters are unable to do at this time, has earned it the much coveted "Omnirole" title for a fighter.
		Defining the Next Generation of Fighters, Rafale is one of three shorlisted fighters to replace the SAF's aging A-4 Super Skyhawks.
		Rafale omnirole fighter will be on display at the static aircraft display corner and, will also be involved in the much eagerly anticipated air show.

	Rafale C
		The Rafale programme is composed of three versions of multi-purpose twin-engine combat aircraft : single-seater air version Rafale C, two-seater air version Rafale B and single-seater 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.
		The Rafale's logistic support system is based on the integrated logistic support concept.
		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.

		Following initial commitments for 13 Rafales in 1997, a multi-year procurement contract awarded in 1999 for 48 Rafales included 35 Rafale Cs of the 234 required by the AdlA, of which about 60% would be two-seat Rafale B combat/trainer versions; and 25 of 60 carrier-based Rafale Ms scheduled for Aeronavale procurement.
		The 15th Rafale M will be modified as the first of Aeronavale's two-seat combat versions, which will omit the standard 30 mm GiAT/DEFA 791B internal cannon and its 125 rounds, to provide space for additional mission systems electronics.

		Rafale, EAP (Typhoon prototype) and SAAB JA-39 were all efforts to counter continued F-16 sales in Europe in the mid 80s.
		The Rafales were mainly used in the escort role and usually took off first and landed last after two hours airborne without in-flight refuelling, a testimony of their outstanding endurance.
		As for the turn rate of Rafale, according to the information I know, the maximal instant turn rate of Rafale is more then 30 degrees per second (Some sources of military information declared that it could reach up to 35 degrees per second), whereas its maximal sustaneous turn rate could reach 24 degrees per second.

	☆Typhoon vs Rafale☆ which one is more smashing - Above Top Secret Conspiracy Community
		Rafale is cheaper because of two things, it is smaller lighter and less capable overall than Typhoon, added weight and capability always = added cost.
		The Rafale has not scored one export sucsess despite low costs and agressive marketing by the French government, while the Typhoon has a multi national purchase in effect.
		And as for the Rafale, it seems to be a light fighter, i don't think China is look for a light fighter unless it's capabilities are ahead of the J-10 by a long, long margin.

		The Rafale is a great example of not following the KISS rule, as many a pilot was overloaded with computer data, which when combined with the avionic systems tendency to give out, tends to fly the plane into the ground.
		While this is the most advanced plane in the EU, the French pilot training takes almost four years in total, with two years of it being in a simulator, just to understand the HUDS.
		Israel managed to gain the Rafale when the EU failed to supply their forces in the Pan Arab War.
