Specifications/
performances
I- Stealth and
visibility
Rafale is not a fully stealthy aircraft, it integrates several elements which improve its
discretion on the battlefield such as :
Reduction of SPECTRA
Radar electronic Low optical
signature infrared
warfare visibility
reduction signature
system

II- Range of action (Resilience and
persistence)
For the Dassault Rafale, the typical range is around 1,850 km with a standard
mission configuration. However, it can be extended through:
External droppable
In-flight
tanks
refueling

• Delta wings
• Duck surfaces
• Ailerons and

• Air inlet
• Fuselage
• Vortex generators
IV-2) Active flight controls (Fly-
by-wire)
Rafale’s rear center of gravity Potential unstability of the
aircraft at low speed.
The FBW (fly-by-wire) system intervenes to compensate for this instability by
constantly adjusting the controls of the aerodynamic surfaces to avoid stalling.
