Mirage 4000

[F-2]

The following dimension drawing was apparently scanned from the flight manual for the Dassault Mirage 4000.

Hey do you actually have the manual?

 

[leopardo2]

I agree with you! They are longer, thinner and more pointed tanks than the ones seen on the Mirage 4000. They may have the same capacity (2,500), but the shape is different!
I really appreciate your kind response!

I found information regarding the tanks of the Mirage IV; these are 2,500 liter RP-20s and were only used by the Mirage IV. (IVA and IVP)

A Spanish toy maker produced this roughly 1/200 scale version of the Super Mirage.. Images from a Spanish website.
Examples still appear on Ebay

It interested the Iraqis and Saudis, but the war with Iran, Tornados and F-15s decided otherwise.

Regarding the image below, I suppose the Advanced AAMs advertised are the Mica, any idea what the triple pylons could be ? I dont think i've ever seen a french designed triple pylon for AAMs.

If we combine all of these photos, it should mean that the theorical max air to air load (fox 1 and 2 only, no 3) was 6 Magic and 4 Super 530 (I assumed the "long range missiles" on the 5th picture were Super 530). With room to spare for various pods and jammers. Truely a beast.

We Brits tend to dwell on TSR2 etc but France has flown some exciting prototypes over the years. The bonkers Mirage III vstol, the Mirage G swing wing and biggest of all, the Mirage 4000. One might add the Jaguar M maritime combat aircraft which could have kept Hermes in service!

Last straight line for the book. Photo captions, credits, text remarks... Onwards for 123 pages on the Super Mirage

(The little insert is about the arrival of the Mirage 4000 at the Bourget museum in 2002)

It will not be a Docavia-Larivière book ?

Edit after consulting the webpages of skyshelf.eu: Will there be a printed version ?

Fighters - La Chasse et les Chasseurs

The book is currently in printing and should be available during Le Bourget week.

Do you know when the e-book version will be available ?

I plan of buying it as soon as it comes out in English and if it doesn’t I’ll buy it an play the google lense game.

I’m curious about what kinda dog fighter the big boy mirage was. It had more thrust than the 2000 but was substantially heavier so I can see it either way. I’ve seen it mentioned as a Franco strike Eagle to the the ACF Eagle but I have nothing to really go on. I see a preview page on the RDM they were looking to build which is exciting!

 

[Deltafan]

An "old" tweet (4 June) from the author :

Finally it will be 147 pages on the Super Mirage. I added lines on French F-15 and ACF. You should like it.

I love English people when sometime they try to imitate us the Frenchies ! But when Frenchies saw the Mirage 4000, they said as me at Le Bourget "WAAAAOOO ...", not a little "Oooh-la-la" ... as Marylin Monroe when she sang with Yves Montand ...
