Mirage IIIc with French brothers
The Mirage 3 was a big achievment to the French aeronautic industry.But we canot forget that French at the 1950s was the land of prototypes.
Many promising designs came to flight status but not into production.
Such where the Nord Griffon 1500 and Trident II 9050.Since they had hybrid propolsion system they had brilliant performance with the ramjet or rocket engines working.
Since the Mirage 3 had almost the same performance and was much conventional design it won the go ahead and the two projects were abandoned.
