The Dassault Mirage F2 was a French prototype two-seat ground attack/fighter aircraft, which was designed to serve as a test bed for the SNECMA TF306 turbofan engine. The F2 also influenced the subsequent Dassault Mirage G, a variable geometry design.

Design and development
Dassault were tasked in the early 1960s to design a low-altitude intruder that did not have the high approach speeds associated with the delta wing of the Mirage III. Unlike the Mirage III, the F2 had a high-mounted swept wing and horizontal tail surfaces. The prototype powered by a Pratt & Whitney TF30 turbofan first flew on 12 June 1966. It was re-engined with the SNECMA TF306 for the second flight on 29 December 1966.
Two parallel developments were a single-seat Mirage F3 interceptor and a scaled-down and simpler Mirage F1. Eventually the French Air Force chose to develop the French-engined F1, and the F2 did not enter production.[1]
The fuselage and engine from the F2 formed the basis of a variable-geometry variant, the Mirage G.[1]
Aircraft on display
The Mirage F2 is now preserved with DGA Techniques Aeronautiques in Toulouse Balma.[citation needed]

L'origine du Mirage III F2 remonte à 1963. L'Armée de l'air française planchait sur le concept d'un avion ayant des capacités de pénétration à basse altitude par tous temps, qui serait capable d'effectuer des interceptions à vitesse supersonique, qui serait également apte à utiliser de courtes pistes comportant des arrangements rudimentaires et qui aurait une vitesse d'approche égale à 140 nœuds (260 km/h).[it] Dassault Mirage III F2
Il Dassault Mirage III F2 era un prototipo di aereo da caccia francese biposto che è stato progettato per servire come banco di prova per il motore turbofan Snecma TF306 ed ha influenzato la realizzazione del Dassault Mirage G con ala a geometria variabile.[ru] Dassault Mirage F2
