Dassault Mirage F-1CG H.A.F
The Dassault Mirage F1 is a single-seat air-superiority fighter and attack aircraft built by Dassault Aviation of France.Dassault designed the Mirage F1 as the successor to its Mirage III and Mirage 5 fighters. Unlike its predecessors, it has a swept wing mounted high on the fuselage, as well as a conventional tail surface.The first prototype, which was developed by Dassault using its own funds, made its maiden flight on 23 December 1966.The type was officially accepted by the French Air Force in May 1967, at which time three further prototypes were ordered. With the greater thrust of its afterburning SNECMA Atar 9K-50 turbojet, the F1 easily outclassed the Mirage III. Although it has a smaller wingspan than the Mirage III, the F1 nevertheless proved to be clearly superior to its predecessor. It can carry up to 40% more fuel, has a shorter take-off run, a superior range in lo-lo missions, and better maneuverability. In order to comply to the French Air Force's requirement for an all-weather interceptor, the first production Mirage F1C was equipped with a Thomson-CSF Cyrano IV monopulse radar. The later Cyrano IV-1 version added a limited look-down capability. The Mirage F1 entered French Air Force service in May 1973 when the first production version was delivered. Initially, the aircraft was only armed with two 30 mm internal cannons, but in 1976 the R530 medium-range air-to-air missile was released for use. A year later, the R550 Magic followed. About the same time, the American AIM-9 Sidewinder became part of the Mirage F1's armament, after the Hellenic Air Force requested integration of the Sidewinder on its own Mirage F1CG fighters. The 79 aircraft of the next production run were delivered during the period March 1977 to December 1983. These were of the Mirage F1C-200 version with a fixed refuelling probe, which required an extension of the fuselage by 7 cm. The Mirage F1 served as the main interceptor of the French Air Force until the Dassault Mirage 2000 entered service.General characteristics * Crew: 1 * Length: 15.33 m (50 ft 3 in) * Wingspan: 8.44 m (27 ft 8 in) * Height: 4.49 m (14 ft 8 in) * Wing area: 25 m² (270 ft²) * Empty weight: 7,400 kg (16,000 lb) * Loaded weight: 11,130 kg (24,540 lb) * Max takeoff weight: 16,200 kg (35,700 lb) * Powerplant: 1× SNECMA Atar 9K-50 afterburning turbojet Performance * Maximum speed: Mach 2.1 (2,573 km/h, 1,600 mph) at 11,000 m (36,000 ft) * Combat radius: 425 km (229 nm, 265 mi) * Ferry range: 2,150 km (1,160 nm, 1,335 mi) * Service ceiling: 20,000 m (66,000 ft) * Rate of climb: 215 m/s (42,300 ft/min) * Wing loading: 450 kg/m² (91 lb/ft²) * Thrust/weight: 0.64 Armament * Guns: 2× 30 mm (1.18 in) DEFA 553 internal fixed forward firing cannons * Other: o 6,300 kg (14,000 lb) on 5 external hardpoints o 2× wingtip missile rails The Hellenic Air Force (HAF) (Greek: Πολεμική Αεροπορία, Polemikí Aeroporía) is the air force of Greece. The mission of the Hellenic Air Force is to guard and protect the Greek airspace, provide air assistance and support to the Hellenic Army and the Hellenic Navy as well as humanitarian aid (upon request) in Greece and around the world. The motto of the Hellenic Air Force is Αίεν Υψικρατείν meaning "Always Dominate the Heights" and the HAF insignia represents a flying eagle in front of the Hellenic Air Force roundel. The Hellenic Air Force is one of the three branches of the Hellenic Armed Forces.
