The close-coupled canards / delta wing configuration is key to the combat performance. Even at a high angle of attack, the deadly Rafale fighter jet remains fully agile. Advanced digital 'fly-by-wire' system - longitudinal stability & impressive handling. 10-tonne empty weight, the Rafale is fitted with 14 hard points (13 on the Rafale-M). The Rafale fighter jet can lift the equivalent of its own empty weight in payloads. Early air dominance ensures safe & efficient air-to-ground and air-to-sea operations. The Rafale edge - Air-to-ground strikes, air-to-air attacks & interceptions in same sortie.
