1968


Falcon 20D introduced higher thrust engines, heavier three-disc brakes and other improvements.
1968


A little-known developmental program called the Milan featured retractable "whiskers" (a canard-type surface) on two prototypes, a Mirage 5 and a Mirage IIIR. Shorter takeoff runs, tighter turns and lower approach speeds were demonstrated. As a result, canards were later featured on the Mirage 2000, Mirage 4000, Mirage IIING and Rafale.
1968


Breguet Aviation is merged into the Dassault empire, now known as Avions Marcel Dassault-Breguet Aviation.
