Dassault Aviation, established in 1929 and based in Saint-Cloud, France, is a prominent aerospace company known for designing and manufacturing military aircraft, business jets, and space systems. Notable products include the Rafale multirole fighter, the Falcon series of business jets, and participation in various European space programs. Dassault Aviation emphasizes innovation, technological excellence, and sustainability, contributing significantly to advancements in aeronautics and defense sectors globally. Their commitment to research and development ensures cutting-edge solutions tailored to the evolving needs of both civilian and military aviation markets.
Dassault Aviation partners with Tata Advanced Systems to manufacture Rafale fighter fuselages in India, strengthening defense ties and expanding production for global customers.
The Rafale F5 combined with the UCAV and their evolutions, like the Mirage IV in its times, will ensure France’s independence and capability superiority in the coming decades.
The Rafale is a success in the export market, with seven customer countries to date. The order book, plus the new “tranche 5” contract, secure production activity for the next ten years.
Falcon allows pilots to select the most fuel-efficient route and reduce excess fuel carried using updated global wind data, optimization and performance model-specific algorithms.
The Rafale has now reached a new milestone thanks to the Egyptian Air Force: the first 10,000 flight hours operated by a user other than the French air forces.
