Dassault Rafale
The Dassault Rafale is a French twin-engined delta-wing highly agile multi-role fighter aircraft designed and built by Dassault Aviation. 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

Dassault Aviation
Dassault Aviation is a French aircraft manufacturer of military, regional and business jets.
It was founded by Marcel Bloch as Société des Avions Marcel Bloch or "MB". After World War II, Marcel Bloch changed his name to Marcel Dassault, and the name of the company was changed to Avions Marcel Dassault on 20 December 1947. In 1971, Dassault acquired Breguet, forming Avions Marcel Dassault-Breguet Aviation (AMD-BA). In 1990, the company was renamed Dassault Aviation.Société des Avions Marcel Bloch was founded by Marcel Bloch in 1928. In 1935 Bloch and Henry Potez entered into an agreement to buy Societe Aerienne Bordelaise (SAB), subsequently renamed Societe Aeronautique du Sud-Ouest. In 1936 the arms industry in France was nationalised as the Société Nationale de Constructions Aéronautiques du Sud-Ouest (SNCASO). Marcel Bloch was asked to act as delegated administrator of the Minister for Air.
During the occupation of France the country's aviation industry was virtually disbanded.Marcel Bloch was imprisoned by the Vichy government in October 1940. In 1944 Bloch was deported to the Buchenwald concentration camp by the German occupiers where he remained until it was liberated on 11 April 1945.
On 10 November 1945 at an extraordinary general meeting of the Société Anonyme des Avions Marcel Bloch the company voted to change its form to a limited liability entity, Société des Avions Marcel Bloch, which was to be a holding company. On 20 January 1947 Société des Avions Marcel Bloch became Société des Avions Marcel Dassault to reflect the name adopted by its owner.
In 1954 Dassault established an electronics division (by 1962 named Electronique Marcel Dassault), the first action of which was to begin development of airborne radars, soon followed by seeker heads for air-to-air missiles, navigation and bombing aids. From the 1950s to late 1970s exports become a major part of Dassault's business, major successes were the Dassault Mirage series and the Mystere-Falcon. The average rate in the period 1952-1977 was 58%.
In the years 1965 and 1966 the French government stressed to its various defence suppliers the need to specialize to maintain viable companies. Dassault was to specialise in combat and business aircraft, Nord Aviation in ballistic missiles and Sud Aviation civil and military transport aircraft and helicopters.(Nord Aviations and Sud Aviation would merge in 1970 to form Aérospatiale) .
On 27 June 1967 Dassault (at the urging of the French government) acquired 66% of Breguet Aviation. Under the merger deal Société des Avions Marcel Dassault was dissolved on 14 December 1971, with its assets vested in Breguet, to be renamed Avions Marcel Dassault-Bregeut Aviation (AMD-BA).
Dassault Systèmes was established in 1981 to develop and market Dassault's CAD program, CATIA. Dassault Systèmes was to become a market leader in this field.
In 1979 the French Government took a 20% share in Dassault and established the Societé de Gestion de Participations Aéronautiques (SOGEPA) to manage this and an indirect 25% share in Aerospatiale (the government also held a direct 75% share in that company). In 1998 the French Government transferred its shares in Dassault Aviation (45.76%) to Aerospatiale. On 10 July 2000, Aérospatiale-Matra merged with other European companies to form EADS.
In 2000 Serge Dassault resigned as Chairman and was succeeded by Charles Edlestenne. Serge Dassault was appointed Honorary Chairman.

Dassault Rafale
Le Rafale, conçu et produit par Dassault Aviation, est un avion militaire français multirôles. Il répond aux besoins des aviations militaires modernes qui désirent réduire leurs coûts en s'équipant d'un seul type d'avion multirôle (moins de coûts de formation, pièces détachées moins chères). En effet, il est aussi bien capable d'effectuer des missions d'interception que des missions de bombardement et d'attaque de précision. Il coûte 30 000 euros par heure de vol, ce qui est nettement moins que ses concurrents directs.

Dassault Falcon
http://www.aviationlive.org Online Aviation Pics,Videos and Forum
The Falcon is a family of business jets manufactured by Dassault Aviation. Early members of this family were known as the Mystère within France, "Falcon" originally being an export name only.
The Falcon began its career in United States in 1965 as a business jet operated by Pan American Airways Corporation. The first aircraft family of Federal Express was the Falcon 20 in 1972.
The United States Coast Guard uses the Falcon 20. First adopted in 1983, it remains in service. The main designation is HU-25 Guardian.
Aircraft include:
* Falcon 10 (later versions known as Falcon 100) Scaled down Falcon 20
* Falcon 20 (later versions known as Falcon 200) Original plane in successful family of aircraft.
* Falcon 30 (improved version of the Falcon 20 - prototype only)
* Falcon 50 Trijet.
* Falcon 900 Stretched transcontinental trijet.
* Falcon 2000 Scaled down twin jet Falcon 900 derivative.
* Falcon 7X (originally Falcon FNX)
Development
The aircraft has over 165 orders to date,. It has received its Type certification from both FAA and EASA on 27 April 2007. The first 7X, MSN05, entered service on June 15th 2007.
In 2001, the Falcon 7X, at approximately $35 million, was nearly $10 million cheaper than its nearest competitors in the long range, large cabin market segment, the Gulfstream G550 and Bombardier Global Express.Its 2007 cost is $41 million.

Dassault Falcon 7X Flight Deck
It is the first fully fly-by-wire business jet. It is also equipped with the same avionics suite, the Honeywell Primus EPIC "Enhanced Avionics System" (EASy), that was used on the Falcon 900EX and later on the Falcon 2000EX.
The Falcon 7X is notable for its extensive use of computer aided design, claiming to be the "first aircraft to be designed entirely on a virtual platform" using Dassault Systemes CATIA and PLM products.

Dassault Mirage 4000
The Mirage 4000 was a prototype jet fighter developed by Dassault-Breguet as a twin engine version of their Mirage 2000. Both planes have much in common, including their engines (SNECMA M53-2), their Delta shape wings and their semi-circular air intake.
The plane first flew in 1979. It was financed as a private venture by Dassault, possibly with Saudi Arabian money. The Mirage 4000 was comparable in size to the United States F-15 Eagle, and would have made an excellent long-range interceptor. Its weight and ordnance capacity also would have made it a very good fighter-bomber.
In the early 1980s Dassault ended the program shortly after the Saudis chose the F-15C as their preferred aircraft. The French Air Force preferred to concentrate on the Mirage 2000, leaving Dassault with no customers. Some of the expertise thus gained would later influence the Dassault Rafale, but the only prototype moved to its final residence at the Paris Air & Space Museum in 1995.General characteristics

Dassault-Breguet Super Étendard
The Dassault-Breguet Super Étendard is a French carrier-borne strike fighter in service with the French and Argentine Navies. A small number were also flown by the Iraqi Air Force for a brief period during the Iran-Iraq War.
It is a development of the earlier Étendard IVM that was originally to have been replaced by a navalised version of the SEPECAT Jaguar, the Jaguar M, until this plan was stalled by political problems. The prototype first flew on 28 October 1974. The French Navy initially ordered 60 of the new model, which were delivered in June 1978 and the Argentinian Navy ordered 14. The Super Étendard had been developed in parallel with a new air-launched version of Aérospatiale's anti-shipping missile, the AM 39 Exocet, and these were supplied to Argentina as well.
At the time of the Falklands War, Argentina had taken delivery of five Super Étendards and five Exocets. All five of the missiles were used during the conflict, with one missile destroying HMS Sheffield and one the supply ship MV Atlantic Conveyor (the Exocet that damaged HMS Glamorgan was a land-launched version).
Five Super Étendards were loaned to Iraq in 1983 while the country waited on deliveries of the Dassault Mirage F1s that had been ordered. These aircraft used Exocets to great success against Iranian tankers in the Persian Gulf before being returned to France in 1985.
