The Etendard V is covered at this thread, in case you're curious, and I was definitely a TALP proposal and a heavy, subsonic machine:

Is there ever been a reference to French interest in the Missileer's radar? The 1960 MN TALP requirement was very similar to Missileer, albeit in a lighter platform suitable for the Clemenceau class - although I have never found any references to the radar or missiles meant for the subsonic TALP?
Probably a TALP or a DAFNE entry.

Don't be fooled by the Etendard name, it has nothing in common with the Etendard II / IV / VI of the 1950's.
Nothing of an F-4 alike. Subsonic naval LR AAM carrier, un-reheated SNECMA TF-106 (P&W TF-30 derivative) for the TALP competition. Mini TS-151 (Douglas XF6D Missileer). Étendard only in name. Many entries on TALP in this forum.
TALP is the name of the program. This mean "TActique Longue Portée" Ie "Long range tactical (fighter)". This mean absolutely nothing, even in french : its a kind of military- program language.
To my mind, long range and tactical are opposite concepts no?
TALP was for a fighter in F-6D...
In current (correct) french, the name of the program would have been something as long as "Avion de Chasse Tactique a Long Rayon d'Action" Well TALP is much shorter to pronounce!!!! ;D
...G4 (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...
...2011 issue of the French magazine "Le Fana de l'Aviation", there is an article about the American F-6D Missileer program and about the French TALP (Tactique á longue portée)program. The article shows a 3-view drawing of Etendard V with 2 unknown missiles under each wing.
Tinwing, the wing...
First, thank you very much Overscan! These three are the most interesting for me... Do you have three-view drawings of this three? (maybe if you have the book...)
1160 - Atlantic derived transport
1170 - TALP, a long range subsonic naval bomber, somewhat similar to A-6 in role
1180 - Supersonic naval bomber project, looking like an enlarged Jaguar
1190/91 - Atlantic derived bomber project, alternative to 1180 (!)
120 - DAFNE project as mentioned above

First VG program in France was the TALP of the aeronavale. This was a requirement similar to the Tomcat Ie using VG wings to have a long loiter time over the sea.
Dassault proposal was the MD-800 (may 1964). breguet launched a vast VG program various...

If it is TALP related, even without AB a twin tf-106 configuration would give thrust similar to that of the F6D with two early tf-30. Do you have the empty and...
