Dassault rafale.

 well come to rafale aircraft.

the Dassault literally meaning gust of wind ,or burst of 

fire in a more military sense is a French  twin- engine, canard and built wing ,multirole  fighter aircraft designed and built by Dassault aviation .equipped with a wide  range of weapons, the Rafel in intended to perform air supremacy, interdiction ,deterrence minces and missions .it is referred to as an omnirole aircraft by Dassault.

in the late 1970s ,the French air force and French navy sought to replace and consolidate their existing fleets of aircraft . in order to  reduce  development into an arrangement with the uk, Germany ,lately and Spain to  produce an agile multi -purpose future European fighter aircraft (which  would become the Eurofighter typhoon) subsequent disagreements over workshare and differing requirements led France to pursue its own development programme .Dassault built a technology demonstrator that first flew in July 1986 as part of an eight -year flight-test programme, paving the way for approval of the project.

the rafale is district from other european fighters of its era in that it is almost entirely built by one country,involving most of france s major defence contractors ,such as dassault and Safran .many of the aircrafts avionics and feature,such as dassault ,thales and safran .many of the aircrafts avionicse and features ,such as direct voice input,the RBE2AA Active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar and the optronique secteur frontal infra-red search and track (IRST) sensor,were domestically developed and produced for  the rafale programme originally scheduled to enter service in 1996, the rafale suffered significant delays due to post -cold war budget cuts and changes in priorities.there are three main variants : rafel c single c single -seat land-based version,rafale b twin-seat land -based version and rafale m single m single-seat carrier-based version.

introduced in 2001,the rafal is being produced for both the french air force and for carrier-based operations in the french navy .it has been marketed for export to several countries,and was selected for purchase by the egyptian air force ,the indian navy,the qatar air force, the hellenic air force,the croatian air force,the indonesian air force,the united arab emirates air force and the serbian air force .the rafale is considered one of the most advenced and capable warplanes in the world,and among the the most successful internationally.it has been used in combat over afghanistan, libya,mali,iraq ,syria by indian near its border with pakistan.

development.

in the mid-1970s the Franch air craft and French navy separate requirements for a new  generation of fighters to replace those in or  about to enter service. Because their requirement were similar ,and to reduce cost ,both services issued a common request for proposal.in 1975 ,the country's ministry of aviation initiated studies for aircraft optimized for differing roles . 

the rafale aircraft development programme was the end product of efforts by various european countries for a common fighter aircraft. in 1970 ,dassault-breguet (later dassault aviation ) joined the MBB/BAe european collaborative fighter project which was renamed the european combat aircraft (ECA) .the company contributed the aerodynamic layout of a prosepective twin-engine ,single -seat fighter country .in 1983,the future european fighter (FEFA) program was initiated ,bringing together together france ,italy ,spain ,west germany .
