April Fools' Day 2025

[fightingirish]

In Le Fana 2025/04,the Dassault company developed Mirage-2000,with
swept wing (not delta) and box high wing,touch with tip tail fin,but I
think it's not practical,my Idea is the best.

Yes, the model "Dassault Surprise 2000" , a Mirage 2000 fuselage with a rhombohedral wing, featured in the latest issue of the French magazine Le Fana 04/2025, is actually a April's fool joke, done by the design team of the Dassault company during the late 1970's.
I presume, Le Fana might post a picture of this model on their website (or on X fka as twitter or on Facebook) next Tuesday on April 1st, 2025.
If so, I will post a link or an appetizer, not here in this topic, but rather in an April fools' Day 2025 topic.

Here the promised appetizer from Fana.
