May 17 1965 - with some differences. The supersonic requirement for a trainer is canned, end result is an AlphaJet / Hawk hybrid. Staunchly subsonic, can't growth into Jaguar. Breguet still goes under and is forced into Dassault as a job program 1967-69. The program is consolidated as a Fouga...
I have come across a turbofan variant of the RTM.322, the RTM.322-20 rated at 2,338lbf. The project was circa 1984.
The only aircraft I know of proposed for the engine was the BAe P.164-108A trainer.
I found a diagram of the RTM.322-20 which is attached.
Does anyone have any further details...

Louis Breguet died in 1955, unfortunately, and the company was finally eaten by Dassault in the late 60's. They nonetheless gave a lot of worries to Dassault when they won ECAT in 1963, later known as the Jaguar.
Because, you see, by the late 50's Dassault had managed to crush any opposition on...

As discussed all too many times, in real life Dassault was not entirely happy with participation in the AFVG program, with British design leadership for the airframe. This would lead to Dassault putting forward its own alternative designs and in the end contribute to the French abandoning the...

In the late 1980s, research started on the new next-generation tank gun. It was quickly determined that it needed to be 140mm calibre. Initially it was to fire the same projectiles as the 120mm gun but at a higher velocity from a similar smoothbore barrel.
My question - what was the British...
Hi,
As this project (for the replacement of the French Rafale and the German Eurofighter) is different of the Airbus project to replace the German Tornado and the Spanish F-18, I open a new topic :)
Well, as the time to replace Rafale and EF is not for tomorrow, this topic may last for...
Where can I find information about French night vision devices directly after WW II ?
When and where such devices were used in the post WWII French armed forces ?
From what I've found, most of the early ones used the activ system, so needing an
