Prototype Rafale A details

[MarkoZG]

Hello,

can anyone help with detail photos of cockpit, wheel wells and exhausts from Rafale A prototype?

I found only some poor walkaround which doesn't have these and even the exhausts seem to be a mock up.

Thanks.

Hi,

 

here is a good 360° view of the Rafale A cockpit: https://www.museeairespace.fr/aller-plus-haut/panoramas-360/360-cabines-de-pilotage/panorama-360-rafale-a/

 

For the other items I can't really help you but here are some thoughts you may want to consider.

For the wheel wells, not much will be visible as the door remain mostly closed when the gear is down.

Regarding the engines, it depends on which configuration you want to build. At the beginning the Rafale A was powered by two General Electric F404, so any walkaround of an aircraft powered by these engines (e.g. F/A-18) should provide you the necessary details.

Later on, first one and then the second was replaced by the M88. So any walkaround of a serial Rafale should be applicable for this area.

 

Cheers

Markus
