The Dassault Mirage F.1 is a French single-engine multirole fighter with a semi-hull high-wing design, with slotted and pivoted wings, with a classic tail fin. The Mirage F.1 was the successor to the successful Mirage III/V series. The first prototype took off on December 23, 1966. He set a number of records — 2.12 million years at an altitude of 11,000 meters and 1,300 km/h at low altitudes. The Mirage F.1 required strips 500 to 800 meters long to operate. The new aircraft had the same dimensions and lifting surface as the Mirage III, but used 40% more fuel thanks to the use of built-in tanks. The F.1 aircraft was distinguished by the minimum time required for take-off. This became possible due to the simplification of maintenance and the possibility of transporting all the necessary ground equipment by air. Recovery time between operations was 15 minutes. Thanks to the on-board power supply and high-pressure refueling system, the refueling time was only 6 minutes. The Thomson-CSF Cyrano IV radar had 80% more range than the Cyrano II with the MirageIII. When the pilot selected a target manually, the radar automatically followed. Several major versions of the Mirage F.1 were produced, including the F.1C, a classic ground-attack variant of the fighter that entered service in 1969. The next version is the F.1B, which is used as a two-seater school car (supplied from 1980). Also interesting was the Mirage F.1CT model, i.e. attack aircraft, the prototype of which appeared in 1991. In total, about 770 copies of all versions were produced. Exported to many countries, including Iraq, South Africa, Greece, Spain and Morocco. Technical data (F.1C version): length: 15.23 m, wingspan: 8.4 m, height: 4.5 m, maximum speed: 2.2 Ma, rate of climb: 213 m/s, maximum range (with outboard tanks): 3,300 km, maximum ceiling 2,000 m, armament: stationary - two 30-mm DEFA 553 guns, outboard - up to 4,000 kg of cargo.
