About the Mirage G8.02:

The Mirage G8.02 was a twin-engine experimental fighter developed by Dassault as a successor to earlier Mirage G concepts. Featuring variable-geometry wings, it was designed to combine good low-speed handling with high supersonic performance. Although it did not enter serial production, the program contributed valuable technological experience to the French aerospace industry.

Original aircraft technical data:

• Length: approx. 18.8 m
• Wingspan: approx. 15.0 m (maximum)
• Powerplant: 2 × turbojet engines
• Maximum speed: over Mach 2
