  2. Dassault Mirage 4000 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Mirage_4000

    The Mirage 4000 was noticeably larger and heavier than the single-engined Mirage 2000, the 4000 having two SNECMA M53-2 turbofans. [1] It also featured small canards above the engine air intakes and a true bubble canopy , compared to the Mirage 2000 and previous Mirages.

  3. Snecma M53 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNECMA_M53

    Flight testing started in July 1973 using a Caravelle flying test-bed and the engine first went supersonic in a Mirage F.1 test bed at the end of 1974. [ 3 ] The engine was designed to have better performance than the latest Atar engines but simpler and less costly than the SNECMA TF 306 turbofan. [ 1 ]

  4. Thrust-to-weight ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust-to-weight_ratio

    The thrust-to-weight ratio is usually calculated from initial gross weight at sea level on earth [6] and is sometimes called thrust-to-Earth-weight ratio. [7] The thrust-to-Earth-weight ratio of a rocket or rocket-propelled vehicle is an indicator of its acceleration expressed in multiples of earth's gravitational acceleration, g 0. [5]

  5. Dassault Mirage IV - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Mirage_IV

    Dassault's resulting prototype, dubbed Mirage IV 01, looked a lot like the Mirage IIIA, even though it had double the wing surface, two engines instead of one, and twice the unladen weight. [3] The Mirage IV also carried three times more internal fuel than the Mirage III.

  6. Distributed propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_propulsion

    Distributed propulsion on an aircraft is typically characterised not only by the distributed nature of the propulsive thrust but also by utilisation of the effect this has on the aircraft aerodynamics. [2] The propulsive air flows are distributed over the aerodynamic surfaces of the craft, typically spanwise over a fixed wing.

  7. Snecma Atar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNECMA_Atar

    The Atar 101E added a "zeroth" compressor stage, raising the overall pressure ratio to 4.8:1 and the thrust to 36,300 N (8,200 lb f), surpassing the projected thrust of 34.3 kN (7,700 lbf) of the German BMW 018 turbojet still being developed in 1945. Various Atar 101 models were tested on a wide variety of aircraft.

  8. Dassault Mirage IIIV - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Mirage_IIIV

    The Dassault Mirage IIIV, also spelled Mirage III V, was a French vertical take-off and landing prototype fighter aircraft of the mid-1960s developed and produced by Dassault Aviation. The Mirage IIIV was a VTOL derivative of an existing conventional fighter, the Dassault Mirage III ; the principal difference between the two types was the ...

  9. Dassault Mirage F1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Mirage_F1

    The Mirage F1 emerged from a series of design studies performed by French aircraft manufacturer Dassault Aviation. [2] Having originally sought to develop a larger swept wing derivative of the Mirage III, which became the Mirage F2, to serve as a vertical take-off and landing propulsion testbed akin to the Dassault Mirage IIIV, however, it was soon recognized that the emerging design could ...
