Lol. Wiki? Really? I laugh because look what it says now.
- Alain Rabion, chief test pilot of the Snecma, begins the engine tests of the M88-2 in Istres on(February 27, 1990)and reaches from this first flight the speed of
Mach 1.8 at 15,000 m altitude (or 2,128 km / h,the speed of sound being equal to 295 m / s at this altitude) use afterburners. 1,000 parameters of the M88-2 are transmitted to the 25 flight test engineers of the M88-2. The entire test campaign was a success and the M88 perfectly met the four main criteria required.
Use a real source not wiki in which some yahoo can edit and post his opinion.
Btw why do you post numbers what the french plane demonstrator "did" as if it has any correlation with current french planes? Todays production french plane has nothing to do with the demonstrator. The demonstrator/A model's engines have nothing to do with the production model engines currently in your plane. It is an ECO engine which is why in clean configuration it can only reach mach 1.8 and the M model mach 1.6.
Oy vey. This is only narrating the same old line of what the french plane demonstrator did when it got its M88 engines.
I thought you were the expert with ability to get info about your plane? The exact date of when your french plane SP with 4 missiles and a center tank isn't classified info so why is it hard for you to get it? I mean I can tell you why you're having trouble and that is because it wasn't a production model french plane that SP it was the demonstrator. That is why Dassault doesn't boast about your planes SP capabilities in its marketing scheme.
