The wing’s design and powerful engine provided the F1 the ability to take off on shorter runways. The Mirage F1 is a high-mounted, swept-wing multi-role aircraft powered by a single afterburning turbojet engine fed by two side intakes. Its design makes it perform very well at high-speeds at both low and high altitudes. The F1 was developed to replace the Mirage III, a lightweight, all-weather interceptor that served countries like France and Israel during the 1960s.
