Dassault Milan (France)
Modified from a French Air Force Mirage III-E, the prototype Milan incorporated a number of technical improvements which greatly increased its capabilities in air-to-ground strike, low-speed handling and operation from short airstrips with steep approaches. The major changes involved the installation of an Atar 9K-50 turbojet engine (70.62 kN; 15,875 lb st) and a high-lift device consisting of two small retractable foreplane surfaces (known as 'moustaches') in the nose. First flight of a fully equipped Milan took place in May 1970. Other modifications included increased external stores-carrying capability, moving-map and head-up displays and an integrated electronic navigation and attack system. Optional features included rocket-assisted take-off and nose folding.

В рамках программы модернизации, названной "Milan" и проводившейся вместе со Швейцарией, намечалось повысить взлетно-посадочные характеристики и управляемость машины на малых скоростях полета. Но программа не была реализована, в результате ПГО установили на израильские Kfir.

A-7D serial 71-303 and Milan S 01 - the tail of which is just visible in the background - were put on public display at Emmen on May 2, 1972. The Corsair is carrying a full load of Swiss 450kg bombs on its wing hardpoints, plus Sidewinder AAMs on stations four and five. Neither type was selected in the end, the Swiss deciding to acquire additional Hawker Hunters.

The first Mirage to receive canards, the Milan (Kite) of 18 years ago. The forward-swept moustaches were retractable.
Designed specifically by Dassault and F+W Emmen as a tactical support aircraft for the Flugwaffe, the Dassault Milan incorporated foreplanes - or “moustaches” - of 1m (3ft 3in) span which reduced take-off distance, improved low-speed handling and offered exceptional manoeuvrability in Switzerland’s steep valleys. The sole Milan S 01 first flew on May 24, 1969.
The Milan S-01 photographed during the recent weapon trials at Cazaux. It is carrying two Sidewinder AAMs and five 990-lb (450-kg) bombs, four of the latter being suspended from two 110 Imp gal (500 l) external wing tanks.
