    Dassault Etendard Prototypes and Projects

    Probably a TALP or a DAFNE entry. https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/search/1454327/?q=TALP&o=relevance https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/search/1454328/?q=DAFNE&o=relevance Don't be fooled by the Etendard name, it has nothing in common with the Etendard II / IV / VI of the 1950's.

    The F-4 Phantom II - any alternatives?

    Or RB.172 and AFVG... minus the VG. Good point about DAFNE, note the Clems are small and money was scarce.

    ...(later G8) was one of the competitor to this program. and this Sud Aviation project looks strinkingly similar to a G4... Just like the TALP or DAFNE, RAGEL is a program, not an aircraft!!! and we know that the TALP and DAFNE competitions opposed various projects from nord, Sud and...

    Dassault Variable Geometry: Mirage G / G4 /G8 family

    ...attached to it. It did not come out of nowhere, as a Dassault private venture to screw AFVG. This is an urban legend, somewhat. The 1964 DAFNE (cute acronym !) was very much a F6D Missileer / F-111B / F-14 Tomcat wannabee, for Foch and Clemenceau carriers. DAFNE mean "Defense Aerienne des...

    Aeronavale projects, early 60's

    If I'm not completely wrong (not impossible, regarding my bad french !), then DAFNE was the program itself, not an aircraft. For this program Breguet tendered the Br.120, 3-view and data below : (The Br.120G was a VG-version of the basic aircraft, I think) From : J.Cuny "Les Avions Breguet...

    Aeronavale projects, early 60's

    Of course, DAFNE was the name of the program... Hey, this Breguet design is new for me! With its 120 number, it just fit between the 1120 Sirocco and the 121 Jaguar! This is very interesting! Well I have another question... The Taon last derivatives were the 1100. VTOL were the 1110...

    Aeronavale projects, early 60's

    ...Atlantic Alliance is set up. Dassault decided to take part to the competition with the MD-800, a twin-jet, VG wing aircraft. But the program went to nothing. So we have an Etendard V, another plane named DAFNE (mach 1.4, 1.5 hours patrol time) and the MD-800. What do you think about that?

    The F-4 Phantom II - any alternatives?

    ...Avon or Atar 8. So… a scaled-up Etendard with twin RB.153s. Now that would be something. Timeframe might fit the Aeronavale’s DAFNE program (1964), for which the twin Spey proposals seemed just a little too big (Dassault MD800 and Breguet Br 120)...

    Archibald that is some list. All would be candidates for a BD graphic novel. Your French ones in particular would feature in a certain strip T and L (in these troubled days I didnt want to risk my dodgy French spelling)

    The F-4 Phantom II - any alternatives?

    The Br.120D, is that a side by side cockpit arrangement? This profile, the cockpit looks so Sukhoi T6-1/Su-24 from that head-on profile. Regards Pioneer

    Getting the best mileage from Jaguar program?

    After I wrote Post 60 I remembered that the Atlantique & Transall used Tyne engines and the Br.120 (Breguet's rival to Mirage G for the DAFNE requirement) was to have had a pair of Speys. Going back further Dassault had a licence on the AS Viper and Hispano-Suiza had licences on the RR Nene &...

    Mirage F in 1960?

    ...or Crusader, they don't care about specific loiter time, two-seat, long range radar / missile, or VG / VSTOL. This will come later, with the DAFNE specs. And even later, with the Crusader replacement - Mirage G or naval F1 in the late 60's. At the end of the day, TBH the requirement for a...
