All variants share a common airframe and a common mission system, the differences between naval and land versions being mainly limited to the undercarriage and to the arresting hook. The Rafale, with its “Omnirole” capabilities, is the right answer to the capability approach selected by an increasing number of governments. It fully complies with the requirement to carry out the widest range of roles with the smallest number of aircraft. The Rafale participates in permanent “Quick Reaction Alert” (QRA) / air-defense / air sovereignty missions, power projection and deployments for external missions, deep strike missions, air support for ground forces, reconnaissance missions, pilot training sorties and nuclear deterrence duties. The Air Force single-seat Rafale C, the Air Force two-seat Rafale B, and the Navy single-seat Rafale M feature maximum airframe and equipment commonality, and very similar mission capabilities. The Rafale is safe and easy to fly in all flight regimes, featuring the same precise, yet benign handling performance in all load-out configurations throughout the flight envelope. HX Challenge in English The HX Challenge testing and evaluation event for HX fighter candidates will be held in Finland in January and February 2020. The event will take place mainly in Pirkkala and will be hosted by the Satakunta Air Command. The HX Challenge is being held in Finland so that each candidate’s performance can be verified under Finnish conditions and through tests designed in Finland. This procedure guarantees that the performance of each candidate’s systems and aircraft can be evaluated fairly. The testing event will verify the performance claims made in the responses to the call for tenders, along with any performance values previously verified in laboratory tests. This way, it will be possible to assess the performance of the aircraft, systems and sensors in the Finnish operating environment. The Finnish operating environment and practices may also differ from those of other users in terms of weather and lighting conditions. The testing event will evaluate the multi-role fighters and their systems on the ground and in the air, and at take-off and landing. Each candidate has been given five working days to demonstrate its performance in Finland. HX Challenge suomeksi Testaus- ja todennustapahtuma HX Challenge järjestetään tammi-helmikuussa 2020. HX Challengessa testataan ja evaluoidaan HX-hankkeeseen osallistuvien hävittäjäehdokkaiden suorituskykyjä Suomen olosuhteissa ja suomalaisten määrittämin testein. Tapahtuman keskuspaikka on Satakunnan lennoston Pirkkalan tukikohta. HX Challenge on HX-kandidaattien suorituskykyarvioinnin ensimmäinen vaihe. Tapahtuman tarkoitus on todentaa, että kandidaattien ominaisuudet ja järjestelmät vastaavat suorituskyvyltään valmistajien ilmoittamia tietoja. HX-hanke – uudet hävittäjät Suomelle vuoteen 2025 mennessä Suomen nykyiset hävittäjät eli Hornetit poistuvat käytöstä 2030 mennessä. HX-hanke on perustettu korvaamaan nykyiset hävittäjät uusilla. -- Siivet-Wings magazine: http://siivet.fi/ For more great aviation videos please see: https://www.youtube.com/user/Siivet1986
