      The aircraft has been developed for the French Airforce and Navy. When French left the EFA ( European Fighter Aircraft ) or Eurofighter project in 1985 , French decided to developed its own fighter and chose to produce the Rafale. Rafale is also a cannarded delta, but has less angular lines than EFA . Extensive use was made of composite materials.

      Rafale B is the Two-seat version.
      Rafale C is the Single seat.
      Rafale M is Carrier fighter version ,single seat with a spring-loaded nose wheel to help it into the air when launching.
