Dassault Alpha Jet

The Dassault Alpha Jet* is a training and tactical-support twin-jet tandem two-seater. It was designed for a program jointly run by France’s and Germany’s air forces. It is used by the Patrouille de France** aerobatics team since 1981.

It was the first aircraft produced conjointly by Dassault and Breguet. Planned to succeed the Fouga Magister and the Lockheed T 33 as advanced jet trainer, it was undertaken in cooperation with the German Dornier Corporation. Specifications were changed during the development.

As a symbol of combined French and German excellence, the Alpha Jet* could not represent better several generations of aeronautical presence and dreams. As well as still being the basic platform for initial military training, and having trained hundreds and hundreds of pilots, the Alphajet is a jewel to fly for all passionate simmers.

We have tried to get as close as possible to a study level aircraft, with the information publicly available on the aircraft, and the many interviews and feedback from pilots. We'll be continuing to refine it with this aim in mind, and to take advantage of feedback from enthusiasts, pilots and specialists in this thoroughbred horse.

The flight model faithfully represents the best that can be achieved with flight simulator, the aircraft being optimized for the modern flightsim aerodynamic engine. The aircraft is thus “interpreted” in the game, with its aerodynamic qualities directly calculated from its geometry.

The Alpha Jet* will give you immense pleasure, whether flying as a wingman, at the controls of an acrobatic team, in hyper-dynamic evolutions such as a solo-display, or in very low altitude tactical flight, the experience will be unequalled.
