From the beginnings of the ACT fighter jet project to the French Air Force's Rafale B and C and the French Navy's Rafale M, this book chronicles the evolution of this significant French industrial program, which exemplifies the profound industrial and strategic transformation of combat aircraft. Fighter jets of the future will be multinationalor they will not exist. The Rafale program embodies this profound shift. From the initial concepts of European fighter jets to the Rafale's serial production, this book also examines the deployment of this multirole combat aircraft in the numerous conflicts that have escalated in the Middle East and Africa over more than fifteen years. The book contributes to a deeper understanding of the significance of one of France's most extraordinary aviation projects and highlights the ingenuity and skill of French aeronautical engineers, technicians, and industrialists.
