A vision of military and civilian aviation tomorrow

SAE 100 Future look: At Dassault Aviation, we believe the quest to fly “higher, faster, and further” that moved aviation's pioneers will continue to blaze new trails in the 21st century.

As will another three-fold goal: aircraft will concurrently grow sturdier, safer, and more versatile.

Combat aircraft will have new flight-control systems and possibly vectored thrust engines-opening the door to new and drift-devoid flight patterns-and multi-foil wings. Combined, those new features will make combat aircraft stealthier, swifter, and more aerodynamic. The data-acquisition, transmission, and fusion technology introduced with the Rafale will blend aircraft into seamless synergy with the network of complex information and forces (meaning other aircraft, PCs, radars, satellites, intelligence, coordination and strike systems, etc.) in its environment.
