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 ]

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 ...
