    Surely the most advanced in this segment. Dassault's control systems are unsurpassed. Very good review, thank you

    Test Pilot Eric Gerard used to perform some of the finest Rafale demos (you can find them easily on TH-cam) and you can see that he's enjoying the negative G manoeuvre.

    Yeah, Dassault Aviation making very good and sexy airplanes like Falcon 8x and Rafale fighter jet, looks absolutely fabulous.

    Dassault should seriously enter the commercial aviation market.

      Hammer Lane that is an understatement. If I was to win a big, make that very big lottery drawing, I would have one. As a private pilot I would love a little stick time. One can dream.

    Nice! But what happened to the GoPro in front of the pilot? Was it INOP?

    Seems like a great aircraft, but I still prefer the Lear!

    From a pilots perspective and the cockpit working environment have does it rate compared with the G650 its rival it is going head to head with, not to mention Bombardier's similar offering?

    Any landing distance data?

      @3204clivesinclair 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Depends on complex configurations- weight, runway surface, weather conditions, wind, etc.

    Ne pourraient - ils pas tout simplement s' exprimer en Francais ? Etant un equipage Français dans un avion Français ? C' est franchement irritant comme comportement...

    As per the data in ft and lb, could have thought this happened in the year 300. Ridiculously backward!!!!

      @felix_d5412 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, thats one thing I don't like in aviation. The USA are one of very few countrys that uses it, but because they were very present in the beginning of aviation, now the whole aviation has to use it.
