INTRODUCTION TO MIRAGE 2000 AIRCRAFT

The Dassault Mirage 2000 is a French multirole, single-engined, fourth-generation jet fighter manufactured
by Dassault Aviation. It was designed in the late 1970s as a lightweight fighter to replace the Mirage III for
the French Air Force. The Mirage 2000 evolved into a multirole aircraft with several variants developed, with
sales to a number of nations. It was later developed into the Mirage 2000N and 2000D strike variants, the
improved Mirage 2000-5, and several export variants. Over 600 aircraft were built and it has been in service with
9 nations.

Mirage 2000 is available as a single-seater or two-seater multirole fighter. The aircraft has hands-on throttle and
stick (HOTAS) control. Mirage 2000 incorporates the Thales VEH 3020 head-up display and five cathode ray tube
multifunction advanced pilot systems interface (APSI) displays. The combined head-up / head-level display is
collimated at infinity and presents data relating to flight control, navigation, target engagement and weapon firing.
Sensor and system management data is presented on two-coloured lateral displays.

GENERAL STUDY OF DASSAULT MIRAGE 2000 2021-2022

Mirage 2000 has nine hard points for carrying weapon system payloads: five on the fuselage and two on each
wing. The single-seat version is armed with two internally mounted, high-firing-rate 30mm guns. Air-to-air
weapons include the MICA multi target air-to-air intercept and combat missiles, and the Magic 2 combat missiles,
both from MBDA.MICA supports a maximum operating range of 60km.

The aircraft can carry four MICA missiles, two Magic missiles and three drop tanks simultaneously. The Mirage
2000 can fire the MBDA Super 530D missile or the MBDA Sky Flash air-to-air missile as an alternative to the
MICA missile. Mirage 2000 is also equipped to carry a range of air-to-surface missiles and weapons, including
laser-guided bombs.

Mirage 2000 has an upgraded digital weapon delivery and navigation system (WDNS). The aircraft is fitted with a
TV/CT CLDP laser designation pod from Thales Optronics, which provides the capability to fire laser-guided
weapons by day and night. A number of French Air Force Mirage 2000D aircraft were fitted with the Damocles
laser designation pod with thermal imaging camera, also from Thales Optronics, under a contract awarded in July
2008.Mirage 2000-5 is equipped with a multi-mode Thales RDY doppler radar which provides multi-targeting
capability in the air defence role and the radar also has look down / shoot down mode of operation. The radar can
simultaneously detect up to 24 targets and carry out track while scan on the eight highest priority threats.

Mirage 2000 is equipped with an SNECMA M53-P2 turbofan engine, which provides 64kN thrust and 98kN with
afterburn. The air intakes are fitted with an adjustable half-cone-shaped centre body, which provides an inclined
shock of air pressure for highly efficient air input.Itcan climb at the rate of 285m/s. The maximum and approach
speeds of the aircraft are 2,530km/h and 259km/h respectively, while the ferry range is 3,335km. The range and
service ceiling are 1,550km and 17,060m respectively.

OVERVIEW OF THE DESIGN PROCESS

The production of the Mirage 2000 involved three construction sites, all located in Bordeaux that specialized in
different components. The wings were built at Martignas, and the fuselages were fabricated at Argenteuil, with
final assembly taking place at Bordeaux-Merignac. The first prototype, Mirage 2000 No. 01, though, was hand
built at St Cloud, before being moved to Dassault's Istres facility for assembly. At the hands of Jean Coureau,No.
01 made its first flight on 10 March 1978, a mere 27 months after the programme go-ahead. During the 65-minute
flight, Coureau took the aircraft to Mach 1.02 without afterburner, before climbing to more than 12,000 m and
accelerating the aircraft to Mach 1.3. By the end of May, the aircraft had surpassed Mach 2 and an indicated
airspeed of 650 knots. On the other end of the speed spectrum, the Mirage 2000 proved to be a capable low-speed
aircraft, as demonstrated at the Farnborough Air show in September 1978, during which Dassault pilot Guy
Mitaux-Maurourd raised the aircraft's nose to 25° angle of attack (AoA) as the aircraft slowed to 100 knots. Later
tests showed that the aircraft could attain 30° AoA while carrying fuel tanks and weapons.

GENERAL STUDY OF DASSAULT MIRAGE 2000 2021-2022

The second prototype, No. 02, made its 50-minute first flight in September 1978 at the controls of Maurourd. The
aircraft was to test some of the avionics systems and the carriage of weapons. Due to a flame-out while on a
landing approach, the aircraft was lost in May 1984. No. 03 made its first flight in April 1979; equipped with a
complete weapons system, it was used for radar and weapons trials. After 400 hours of flight, they were sent
to Centre d'Essaisen Vol, flight tests centre. Although three prototypes were ordered in December 1975, Dassault
constructed an additional fourth single-seat demonstrator for its own purposes, which embodied lessons on the
earlier aircraft, namely the reduction in fin height and an increased fin sweep, redesigned air inlets, and an FBW
system. The only dual-seat Mirage 2000B of the test program first flew on 11 October 1980.

The first production Mirage 2000C flew on 20 November 1982.Deliveries to the ADA began in 1983. The first 37
Mirage 2000Cs delivered were fitted with the Thomson-CSF Radar Doppler Multifunction, and were powered by
the SNECMA M53-5 turbofan engine. The 38th Mirage 2000C had an upgraded SNECMA M53-5 P2 turbofan
engine. The Radar Doppler Impulse built by Thales for the Mirage 2000C entered service in 1987. It has a much
improved range of about 150 km, and is linked to Matra Super 530D missiles, which are much improved
compared to the older Super 530F. Look-down/shoot-down capabilities are much improved, as well, but this radar
is not usually used for air-to-surface roles.

ELECTRICAL FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM

Department of Aerospace & Aeronautical Engineering, 18


MVJCE, Bengaluru
GENERAL STUDY OF DASSAULT MIRAGE 2000 2021-2022

ELECTRICAL FLIGHT CONTROL SYSYTEM

In this system the linkage between the pilots control stick and pedals and the driving devices servo actuators are
electric and not a mechanical system of connecting rods and cables like conventional aircraft. This system is
known as all electric because no mechanical backup linkage is provided

The role of EFCS is not merely limited to provided a linkage between the pilots input and the units driving the
control surface. It includes sensors for detecting the aircraft motion and its aerodynamic environment and the
computing devices necessary for generating the control surface commands.

The most important advantage of the system is that it is able to stabilize an aircraft that is basically unstable for
reasons related to aerodynamics or centre of gravity.

Salient features of EFCS:-

Control of a longitudinally unstable aircraft


Stabilization is the key factor affecting the aircraft specifications. To maintain a satisfactory flight and piloting
characteristics and aircraft with conventional controls must be inherently stable about all its axis throughout the
flight envelope and under any combination of external stores.

This stability requirement will have the following effects –


A. Decrease aircraft performance.
B. Reduce the number of aerodynamic solutions.
C. Restrict the external store carriage capability.

These effects could be overcome by electric flight control system.

Department of Aerospace & Aeronautical Engineering, 19


MVJCE, Bengaluru
GENERAL STUDY OF DASSAULT MIRAGE 2000 2021-2022

The advantages of EFCS are :-

1)Adoption of rear centre of gravity


a)Compared to an aircraft with the conventional flying control there is a rearward CG shift by over 4%. Due to
this the clean aircraft is just stable or unstable with external stores or slat down.
b) To balance a stable aircraft, Nose up altitude of elevon is required the elevon lift is therefore negative and
decreases the wing lift. To balance and unstable aircraft stabilized by flight controls, note down altitude of elevon
is required.
c) In an unstable aircraft the aerodynamic force balance is much more favourable with an increase lift for a given
angle of attack and a reduced drag for a given lift.

2)Adoption of Delta wing


a) This results in structural gains in terms of weight and simplicity as well as aerodynamic benefits, specially at
supersonic speeds. The main disadvantage of it is, difficult to fit efficient high lift devices.
b) In an AC fitted with conventional flight controls and consequently with a higher longitudinal stability, this
drawback results in higher approach speeds and reduced maneuverability.
c)On Mirage 2000s this is compensated by the fact that the elevons generate lift.

3)Adoption of aerodynamic enhancement devices


a)It reduces induced drag at higher angle of attack, and drag for a given lift. It also gives and increase maneuver
margin for a given power setting.
b) Strake: It gives improved high angle of attack flight with corresponding improvement to the AC behaviour,
particularly in roll and enlarged angle of attack envelope and consequent increase in maximum lift coefficient.
c) The use of these devices on an AC with the conventional flight control should be very difficult due to the
significant effects they have on overall stability of AC.
d) The use of leading edge slats on an AC with conventional flight controls requires more forward CG locations.

4)Multiple external stores carriage requirements:-


These requirements are reduced to a simple problem of structural compatibility.

Description of air-conditioning system:


 The conditioning air is tapped from last stage of engine compressor by means of a Main fold connected to
engine by two intakes. An articulate pipe with three ball joints connects the manifolds to the air-
conditioning system. The ball joints absorb expansion and pressure surges. The temperature at PS4 is
approximately 300°C and pressure and pressure is nine bars. The rigid lines are also attached on tilting
supports for taking up expansions. Almost all the system lines are heat insulated. The air is then directed to
pre-cooler. The pre-cooler is ventilated bye:
a) Air trapped from engine as duct when duct pressure exceeds the outside pressure.
b) Air trapped from outside the AC when the pressure in the engine duct is lower than
the outside static range. In this case the flow of ventilation air is reversed and is
called as reversal range.

pressure supply tests. The pressure reducing and relief valve reduces the pressure to 1900+150 M bars and
relieves pressure when it reaches 2250 m bars.

Cabin pressure regulation system:


The cabin is automatically pressurized by controlling the conditioning and venting. The air is vented through
pressure regulator and safety valve. It compresses the cabin pressure with outside static pressure and maintains an
over pressure in the cabin. To avoid poor cabin pressurisation due to insufficient flow in the descents with the
throttle fully back, a differential pressure measures the pressure difference add cabin inlet and downstream of
turbine. As soon as cabin pressure exceeds or equals the turbine outlet pressure, the computer receives a signal
limiting the position of the valve and 12 is kept on the minimum of 33%. The pressurisation function is given
Priority over the temperature regulation range.

CONCLUSION

Overall, I would describe my internship at Mirage Department of Overhaul Division as a


positive and instructive experience. This internship has been an excellent and rewarding one.
When I first started, I did not think that I was going to be able to make myself sit in an office.
Once I realized what I had to do I organized my day and work so that I was not overlapping
or wasting my hours. I learned that I needed to be organized and have questions ready for
when it was the correct time to get feedback. The friendly, welcoming staff and the space
they have created for a trainee/intern allowed me to learn, know and motivate myself. This
experience not only brought out my strengths but also my weaknesses to which I would work
upon and overcome.

It gave me lots of benefit and positive changes that enable me to enter the working
environment. Through this training, I was able to gain new insights and a more
comprehensive understanding of the real industry working condition and practice. The 4
weeks of training has provided me with the opportunities to develop and improve my soft
and functional skills. All of this valuable experience and knowledge that I have gained
were not only acquired through the direct involvement in the task given but also through
other aspects of the training such as work observation, interaction with the staffs and
local people.
