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.

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.

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

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.

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 III |

The Dassault Mirage III is a supersonic fighter
aircraft designed in France by Dassault Aviation
during the 1950s, and manufactured both in France
and a number of other countries. It was a
successful fighter aircraft, being sold to many
air forces around the world and remaining in
production for over a decade. Some of the world's
smaller air forces still fly Mirage IIIs or
variants as front-line equipment today, including
Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Egypt, Gabon, Libya,
Pakistan (largest operator), and Venezuela.The
Mirage III family grew out of French government
studies begun in 1952 that led in early 1953 to a
specification for a lightweight, all-weather
interceptor capable of climbing to 18,000 m
(59,040 ft) in six minutes and able to reach Mach
1.3 in level flight.
Dassault's response to the specification was the
Mystère-Delta 550, a sporty-looking little jet
that was to be powered by twin Armstrong Siddeley
MD30R Viper afterburning turbojets, each with
thrust of 9.61 kN (2,160 lbf). A SEPR liquid-fuel
rocket motor was to provide additional burst
thrust of 14.7 kN (3,300 lbf). The aircraft had a
tailless delta configuration, with a 5% chord
(ratio of airfoil thickness to length) and 60
degree sweep.
The tailless delta configuration has a number of
limitations. The lack of a horizontal stabilizer
means flaps cannot be used, resulting in a long
take-off run and a high landing speed. The delta
wing itself limits maneuverability; and suffers
from buffeting at low altitude, due to the large
wing area and resulting low wing loading. However,
the delta is a simple and pleasing design, easily
built and robust, capable of high speed in a
straight line, and with plenty of space in the
wing for fuel storage.
The first prototype of the Mystere-Delta, without
afterburning engine or rocket motor and an
absurdly large vertical tailfin, flew on 25 June
1955. After some redesign, reduction of the
tailfin to more rational size, installation of
afterburners and rocket motor, and renaming to
Mirage I, the prototype attained Mach 1.3 in level
flight without the rocket, and Mach 1.6 with the
rocket lit in late 1955.The first major production
model of the Mirage series, the Mirage IIIC, first
flew in October 1960. The IIIC was largely similar
to the IIIA, though a little under a half meter
longer and brought up to full operational fit. The
IIIC was a single-seat interceptor, with an Atar
09B turbojet engine, featuring an "eyelet" style
variable exhaust.
The Mirage IIIC was armed with twin 30 mm DEFA
revolver-type cannon, fitted in the belly with the
gun ports under the air intakes. Early Mirage IIIC
production had three stores pylons, one under the
fuselage and one under each wing, but a second
outboard pylon was quickly added to each wing, for
a total of five. The outboard pylon was intended
to carry a Sidewinder air-to-air missile (AAM),
later replaced by Matra Magic.The Mirage IIIC was
exported to Israel as the Mirage IIICJ, to South
Africa as the Mirage IIICZ, and to Switzerland as
the Mirage IIICS, to which one was sold in
preparation for license construction. Some export
customers obtained the Mirage IIIB, with
designations only changed to provide a country
code. Such as the Mirage IIIDA for Argentina,
Mirage IIIDBR and Mirage IIIDBR-2 for Brazil.
Mirage IIIBJ for Israel, Mirage IIIDL for Lebanon,
Mirage IIIDP for Pakistan, Mirage IIIBZ and Mirage
IIIDZ and Mirage IIID2Z for South Africa, Mirage
IIIDE for Spain, Mirage IIIBS and Mirage IIIDS for
Switzerland, Mirage IIIDV for Venezuela. *
