The Dassault Rafale ( French pronunciation: [ʁafal], literally meaning "gust of wind", [3] or "burst of fire" in a more military sense) [4] is a French twin-engine, canard delta wing, multirole fighter aircraft designed and built by Dassault Aviation.
The Rafale is a twin-jet fighter aircraft able to operate from both an aircraft carrier and a shore base. The fully versatile Rafale is able to carry out all combat aviation missions: air superiority and air defense, close air support, in-depth strikes, reconnaissance, anti-ship strikes and nuclear deterrence.
The Rafale, with its “Omnirole” capabilities, is the right answer to the capability approach selected by an increasing number of governments. It fully complies with the requirement to carry out the widest range of roles with the smallest number of aircraft.
