-Trappier is just refering to the RFI issued by the Indian Navy earlier this year. Nothing really new.

-Calling "contact" someone talking on forums is a bit hazardous. however, he is really a former IN pilot and promoting his own design...
By: 18th May 2017 at 13:18 Permalink - Edited 1st January 1970 at 01:00
-Yes, he is a former IN pilot up until very recently. I'm not sure whether he has actually left the IN yet but I don't think it's unreasonable to call him an IN contact and I wasn't aware he was promoting any other design.

-No prob. He is leader of a small air company also btw. He left some years ago but still has good contacts. He is the man behind LSA.

-I think he is correct though, in that the French Navy has imposed lower operational load limits on Rafale Ms than on Rafale B/Cs.

-So there is no concern to have if this is a point known for 15 years and already addressed.

-It's an issue that still exists, which may or may not be okay depending on a customer's requirements.

-The real point is asymetric very heavy loading (eg. One SCALP on one side) to land. (that is why M only use one sczlp /exocet). This issue exist more or less for any maritime aircraft.

-But wasn't it a case that the Rafale was design to roll very easily, with the down side being reduced roll stability.

-i you could link me (here or via pm) vstol comments...
And yes roll rate is very high. More important is the time to bank. (and to unbank).
