The Successful Dassault Mirage 2000 Omni-Role Combat Fighter

The purpose for this course will be to teach the student about the Mirage 2000 omni-role aircraft. This aircraft was developed for both air to air and air ground attack and other vital missions for the French Air Force. This highly maneuverable aircraft was highly successful as many other countries also purchased this plane for their inventory. It was the first French fighter to have fly-by-wire technology and was based on the delta wing and canard design. The focus will be on both scientific and historic facts about this early fourth generation fighter aircraft. There will be an attached note taking document with pictures to help the student learn and retain the information in this course. There is also a video about the Mirage 2000 included for visual perspective on the airframe and how it operates. The desire of the teacher is to engage the students with questions and dialogue to help them further learn the material and answer questions. There will be no assigned home work in this class and the teaching style will be lecture via power point material with a few questions asked of the students.
