Etendard IVP/IVM Recon/Fighter Aircraft 1/48 Kitty Hawk Models

The Étendard IV is a subsonic carrier-borne strike fighter that entered service with the French Navy in 1962. The Étendard was a naval light attack fighter popular with pilots due to its maneuverability. It had a highly swept foldable wing, which featured double-slotted flaps and spoilers, as well as powered ailerons and leading edge droop flaps. It was powered by the SNECMA Atar engine, which had also powered the French Air Force’s Dassault Mirage III. The configuration was broadly similar with the exception of the removed afterburner. The Étendard was capable of transonic speeds, being only able to exceed the speed of sound when in a dive. The Étendard IV was progressively withdrawn during the 1980s and finally retired from service in 1991, with the upgraded Super Etendard taking its place.
