Kitty Hawk 32020 Mirage 2000C 1:32

The Dassault Mirage 2000 is a French, single-engine fighter-attack aircraft with delta wings in a low wing configuration. On December 18, 1975, the French government supported the launch of the new Dassault Mirage 2000 program, an aircraft as small as possible and with a 1: 1 weight-to-thrust ratio, using the SNECMA M53-3 engine. Mirage 2000 reverts to the triangular wing concept. Thanks to the fly-by-wire control and the location of the center of gravity far back, the plane was very maneuverable. The experience gained with the Mirage III resulted in an increase in the wing area, which resulted in a lower surface load and guaranteed better flight performance at low speeds. The use of an automatically lowered leading edge associated with the movement of ailerons resulted in a change of profile, which further increased performance and controllability at low speeds. Five prototypes were built. The first flew on March 10, 1978, and the fifth - Mirage 2000B (two-seater training version) in
