This photograph showcases the second French prototype of the Dassault-Breguet Dornier Alphajet, registration F-ZWRU (msn 02), during a flight test in circa 1975. The Alphajet is a remarkable collaboration between two European aviation giants, Dassault-Breguet and Dornier, resulting in a versatile and advanced military trainer and light attack aircraft. The Alphajet's sleek design and innovative features were pioneering for its time. Its delta wing configuration, derived from the Dornier Alpha Jet, offered exceptional stability and maneuverability. Powered by two Rolls-Royce Mk 532-12 turbofan engines, the Alphajet boasted impressive performance capabilities, including a top speed of over 600 mph and a service ceiling of 45,000 feet. The Alphajet underwent rigorous testing to ensure its suitability for military training and light attack missions. This photograph captures the second prototype, F-ZWRU, during one of these tests, showcasing the aircraft's agility and grace in the skies. The Alphajet's success led to its adoption by various air forces worldwide, including the French Air Force, the German Air Force, and the Royal Saudi Air Force, among others. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the aviation industry during the mid-1970s. It offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the groundbreaking achievements in aeronautical engineering that continue to shape the world of flight.
