Summary
I received intervention of the United States of America to Second Middle East War, and France which I judged to need original nuclear capability started the development of the bomber which applied nuclear bomb and it as the part from the mid-1950s. For the operational design of the bomber, degree super sonic speed cruised by half trips in the at least bombing line at most, and it was demanded that it was escaped from the water haul of the enemy-proof.
In under development Dassault of Mirage IIIA, I will develop the air raider of the twin-engine plane in parallel, but the directionality as the bomber is made up in November, 1956, and at first testing equipment Mirage IV 01 (Mirage IV 01) will be produced in those days to investigate the problems by the super sonic speed cruise flight (the plane which flew with cruising speed more than Mach One .8 did not exist). It was the body which the body which would be developed as a double seats machine to be accompanied by a navigator in the character of the duty made Mirage III double seats and enlarged and was completed as the body which had a wing area of approximately 2 times, body weight, double seats, a twin-engine plane, the fuel in the triple plane. The prototype needed 18 months in a factory in the suburbs of Paris and was completed, and it was the metal contraction and expansion by the temperature change at the time of the hypersonic flight in particular in comparison with Mirage III a considered design for the structure, design.
Mirage IV 01 which Rolland グラヴァニ steered on June 17, 1959 succeeded in maiden flight. What fried food passed over the audience including President Charles De Gaulle in le ブルジェ Airport during the 23rd Paris air show holding on June 20 three days later became the debut to the public.
I continued test-piloting Mirage IV 01 and established a world record to fly 1,000km at 1,822km per an hour on September 19, 1960 at the time and flew 500km at 1,972km per an hour afterwards on September 22 (I would fly in Mach number 2.08-2.14).
On the other hand, the development of the larger body was started by a plan name of Mirage IV B (Mirage IV B) on May 5, 1959 to invade and attack in Soviet Union territory saying that cruising power was lack, and three were ordered with the goal of completion on June 1, 1961. By this plan, double made a body big more, and I changed it to the a ter9 turbojet made in shin bear company, and it was a plan using J75 of Pratt and Whitney, but Mirage IV A (Mirage IV A) plan of the miniature was chosen to evade the use of the engine by the license production, and the Mirage IV B plan was finished in September, 1959.
Because Mirage IV A put thrust improvement-shaped a ter9D (later 9K) engine suggested to the body which I added air refueling tray oil mechanism to after having increased a fuel burden 30% by extending Mirage IV 01 than a shin bear together, a design was started. The development of a navigation device and the nuclear bomb aim device will be carried out at the same time, too. At first Mirage IV A 02 (Mirage IV A 02) left for partial improvement flies on October 12, 1961, and completion type Mirage IV A 04 (Mirage IV A 04) that coped with Mirage IV A 03 (Mirage IV A 03) where improvement was reflected and the RATO (jet-type takeoff auxiliary equipment) with 12 rockets of thrust 5t will be made a regulation totally following the back.
On May 29, 1962, 50 ordering was carried out. 12 ordering was added on November 4 and followed with the delivery of maiden flight, February, 1964 of the production type in December, 1963, and the first squadron was organized in October. 62 Mirage IV A in total was delivered by March, 1968, and nine bombing squadrons (Escadrons de bombardement stratégique) and one exercise squadron (Escadrons d'entrainement) were organized.
In addition, it was suggested to the U.K. as a substitute plane of BAC TSR-2 where the Royal Air Force developed Mirage IV A and IV B, and a plan was given up later, but it was said to the low altitude high speed invasion ability that the U.K. side required that it was poor and was excluded at a stage of the choice consideration.
Mirage IV P
Utilized the high speed of Mach One .85 that was original, and was planned at most by the degree invasion the use as the strategic bomber achieved advance a radius of 3,500km. However, concept itself called the substratospheric altitude invasion that I depended on speed for has already become the suicide-like act by the development of the air defense system, and a policy to already reflect the development of the electronic technique in 1966, and to change to the use by the low altitude invasion was put up, but both sides of speed, the advance distance will in this way decrease. Furthermore, even if it was low altitude in the 1970s, the attack with no smart bomb became high-risk, and it was changed remodeling type Mirage IV N that I included correspondence to ASMP in later, and Mirage IV P (Mirage IV P) and the development of the model that it was were started parallel to development of air-to-ground cruise missile ASMP. P is an initial of Pénétration stratégique (strategic invasion type).
Mirage IV P was able to carry one of the camera pods for from ASMP1 or the reconnaissance in the lower body. I accomplished maiden flight on October 12, 1982, and 18 planes were remodeled and were become a force on May 1, 1986.
Mirage IV took three major affairs of the nuclear capability (Force de Frappe) in France with a ballistic missile and a ballistic missile submarine for a long time, but because I could not deny the oldness of the basic design and advanced to the deterioration again, in 1996, I succeeded a nuclear weapon use duty to Mirage 2,000N and, in Mirage IV P to remain, was transferred a census register in the all reconnaissance squadron (Escadron de Reconnaissance Stratégique). I was going to update the reconnaissance squadron to Mirage 2,000N in the original plan, but a deployment planned new reconnaissance pod was not enough and retired in form to succeed temporarily in Mirage F1CR on June 23, 2005, and all bodies retired.
Operational in the actual fighting
Mirage IV had not been spent for an original strategic bomber by the actual fighting, and the actual fighting use as the plane mounted with a nuclear weapon dropped AN-11 nuclear bomb by a nuclear test performed in Fantataufa Atoll on July 19, 1966.
For a spy plane, Mirage IV P after the transfer is applied in Iraqi (1998 through 2003) Kosovar (1999) Afghanistan (2001) by the reconnaissance squadron.
Body
The general impression becomes the extended development type of Mirage III by a large delta wing, the air in take of both body sides, an a ter9 engine (two). The maximum velocity can show more than Mach number 2, but I stop at the neighboring environment such as the altitude, but, as for the speed to be able to attain, Mach number 2.2 is assumed a limit. The mileage of the engine may be bad and has the fuel tank of 14,000 liters before the opportunity and can equip it with a large-scale belly tank under the left and the right flanks more and equips it with an air tray oil device.
In the cockpit, the canopy is divided with a tandem type that crews line up back and forth and board. Because a probe for the refueling is stored in the nose, the radar is unusually put in the lower body (during an air in take of right and left) not the nose. There are two pylons in the both flanks each and carries ECM pod or chaff / flare dispenser inward in a belly tank, the outside of 2,500 liters. The equipment for bomb was usually possible in inside pylon, too.
It was semiimplanted in 各種兵装, and, in the engine interval of the lower body, it was 兵装 station to carry, and the deployment of the bomb was usually possible as well as a nuclear bomb and was able to be equipped with ASMP in Mirage IV P. 12 planes of the latter term production type produced among IV A after 1972 supported the deployment of the camera pod for the CT-52 reconnaissance. CT-52 low altitude / at most of the degree equipped each with four film-type cameras, and coped with the photography of the infrared image.
