I've been in the aviation industry for 20 years and let me tell you this aircraft where years, years ahead of everyone else. They flew like fighter jets with great controls all push rods for redundancy and solid feel. They have variable geometry bell cranks that adjust the surface throws based on speed. They have artificial feel units to get a feeling for things when hydraulics are on. The fuselage skins were chemically milled to save weight. Main structural bulkheads were milled and pocketed. You never saw bad craftsmanship and quality was palpable. The electrical systems had removable PCBs to repair and replace complex circuitry. The landing gears were stout, certainly miles ahead of a citation even current generations. The early models even came with a drag chute for emergency purposes. The baggage compartment actually had a ladder you could use for maintenance or operations. Servicing was great and it didn't had a nasty skydrol based hydraulic system stripping the paint. The hydraulic system reservoirs were pressurized with bleed air to mantain a positive pressure in all attitudes. The avionics were all installed in the nose and due to the swing out design of the rack all the wiring was also accessible. They had a removable pressure plug to access the cockpit pedal areas as well. The cabin space was good and outfitters did a decent job on the interior. The window sizes were pretty good as well. The airplanes had a slat system for low speed operations that was also automatic and was seamless in its operation. Heavy inspections were intensive due to all the mechanical parts but flight controls had triple sometimes even quadruple safety in the moving hardware... simply unseen even in present times. I have the utmost respect for Dassault and his French team that made this product. They set the bar high and trust me, there's nothing out there like it today. I worked on F10, F20, F200, F50 and 900 series aircraft and hopefully in the future I'll be able to get my hands on later models to see the progress. Another aircraft that comes to mind when it comes down to systems is the Bombardier Challenger that has a nice redundant system. Gulfstream is what it is today thanks to its product support which is second to none. Hawkers are Hawkers, still there's something to be learned from them. Citations are flimsy but get the job done still. Learjets are fast little darts but very unforgiving for the mechanic and the pilot.

You're right dassault so make some Great Planes. I worked for falcon jet in Little Rock from the mid 80s through the mid 90s. The 10 series had very little composite material on the exterior. The 20 series was the same very little composite there. Another great feature about all of the Dasualt aircraft and that is they are all thoroughly acrobatic we had one test pilot that love to fly inverted with any model most especially the 50s. I started with the company 1986 in the fiberglass and plastic Department and soon worked my way into the job of troubleshooting are they Manufacturing Department which includes everything from paint play sheet metal cabinet shop wherever they had a problem I would end up working two or three 8 hour shifts because we had delivery time and date it was a great job as were most jobs out there but in about 8 years I reached burnout but I still think about that job to this day and they still pay me a retirement check every month!!!!

I can dig further but part of the agreement with the coast guard was that they maintained full control of the aircraft and improvements after delivery. When they did ask DA for help it was more for structural substantiation for various weights and loads of their modifications, and aerodynamic review in the Merignac wind tunnel. Sad there is only 2 HU-25’s left, operated by NASA. All have been scrapped or made into artificial reefs.

@JohnHoranzy

First, thank you guys for making a solid airframe. We had no serious mishaps. The Coast Guard airframes were worn out due to the numerous presurization cycles each mission demanded. Some rivet seams were weeping black oxide; this was front top forward well away from engine exhaust. Then there was the bag of potato chips in my box lunch that was about to explode on a high altitude ferry flight. It saved us all from being a smoking hole in the ground. A poster from Garret stated that the after burner had nothing to do with the Coast Guard and happened out West. Wish I could point to the original post. The plane in the photo does not have a Coast Guard Stripe. It is just a plain diagonal red stripe. The plane is also missing the large crew search windows on the side. At first I thought it was just bad photo shop work. We wore those Falcon 20s out.

I flew this model with the Coast Guard, although I must have left the service (in late ‘87) before the afterburner test was conducted,. I have no knowledge of such a program. I would think such a modification would have little practical real world use. The plane’s normal endurance of about 5 hours would have been greatly reduced with the use of the afterburners due to greatly increased fuel burn (and added engine weight). I don’t seem to recall that the plane’s short field takeoff performance was that much of an issue, certainly not to the point that afterburners were sorely missed. The plane was plenty fast as delivered....about 350 kts on the surface up to about .78M at altitude. More useful, in my mind, would have been the addition of thrust reversers to the Garrett ATF-3 engines. Instead, we had to rely on a drag chute in short field landing situations. The plane was well-built, fast and fun to fly. I and my crew managed to save a few lives with that plane.

Furthermore, the plane depicted with the red racing stripe is not one of the planes delivered to the CG as it lacks the many modifications performed by Grumman once the airframe arrived in the US, most notably the very large search windows on each side of the fuselage.

I started working for AiResearch in 1968 and retired not quite two years ago. As Tim mentioned, the 1042 was tested on a Falcon because AiResearch had a couple of bizjets that they used to fly back and forth from LAX (the little terminal on the south side), so it was a relatively simple matter to use one of them as a test bed. There was never any plan to put the 1042 on anything but the IDF (Taiwan fighter). The Coast Guard continued to use the ATF-3 and was the only customer for that extremely complicated engine that was originally developed for a high-altitude government mission -- the Compas-Cope I think it was called. Either way, it was interesting to see this. I made 22 trips to Taiwan between '86 and '93 to support my pieces of the IDF program -- the APU/EPU (IPS) and the AMADs. Good times.

I used to work for Garrett Aviation back in the late 90's as an aircraft mechanic. Worked on mostly Learjet, Gulfstream and Falcons. Falcons were some of the hardest aircraft to work on. They were built like tanks though. Nearly all screws were of a curved-slotted type even the fairings. Its like a curved-flathead. Took longer to take apart and put things back together. Screw driver would slipout and dance along the surface scratching the paint. Many screws stripped easily. Engine mounts were over-engineered according to many of us Aircraft Mechanics. As a testament to its design we had to repair bird-strike damage to the leading edge of a wing. It went through the leading edge and put a big hole in the forward spar but the wing still operated safely.

The editing quality in this video is amazing! Good job!

The picture of the 1042 mounted on the falcon 20 was only running the pilot core of the after burner. The plane belonged to Garrett and not the coast guard it was commonly used to test engines on the left side matter of fact that was the planes sole purpose. Running full afterburner would have torn the plane apart they were only testing flight worthiness of the pilot core section. The atf3 was developed for the coast guard as a fuel efficient engine using three compressor core. Unfortunately it had a bad habit of the third core stalling something pilot’s kinda got used to.. I worked for four years on the 1042 project training the Chinese on the electrical and EEC systems. Your misinformed reporting has lead people to believe the coast guard wanted a plane with an AB engine on it. I’m also a coast guard veteran that would appreciate accurate reporting.

FWIW: I was in the Coast Guard, and worked on Falcons at Air Station Miami {at Opa Locka Airport} for most of 1988 - 1995. I have seen the thumbnail photo for this video. AFAIK, the USCG had nothing to do with test flying a Falcon with afterburner equipped engines. I may have known at one time MORE about this research, but after 24+ years I do not remember anything else.

0:50 very good pronunciation of "Breguet Mystère XX" (I am French), although at 1:15 the name is Jaqueline Auriol (along the lines of "oreo" + "oil") I always find your videos interesting, but I should point out that although your information are always (generally) correct, you often, very often, do not put pictures or video clips that are exactly related (for example a Gulfstream at 5:08); maybe a caption with the credits or description would be helpful to distinguish documents that are directly related to the subject of the video from documents that are only an illustration?

AFAIK the G3 was the first version to have wingtip winglets {and I PRESUME turbofan engines}.. I am NOT that familiar with Gulfstreams to visually identify G4's or later versions....

Well it has the distinction of being only the third civilian aircraft to have an afterburner, after the Concorde and TU-144

Interesting, but factually flawed regards the "Coast Guard" and any interest in the TFE-1042. The F-20 that is pictured did indeed fly with the TFE-1042 but while featuring a similar paint-scheme, the airplane was a Garrett owned test-bed, not a USCG "Guardian" and was based out-of Garrett's Phoenix, Arizona flight-test facility. The USCG F-20 application (and, later the civil Falcon 200) were powered by the Garrett ATF-3 turbo-fan, (incidentally test flown on the same Garrett F-20 during development). The ATF-3 was itself a somewhat unique three-spool engine.

Sure did - the Falcon's only flew for 30 years and Dolphins ain't going anywhere after 30 years as well.

The aircraft depicted in the thumbnail is N200GT (S/N: 137). This is a Falcon 20 that was operated by Garrett/AlliedSignal/Honeywell as a flying test bed primarily for business jet engines. The after burning engine shown in the very dramatic photo is the TFE1042 which was designed originally for a Taiwanese indigenous fighter program. The right hand engine is a Garrett ATF3. This particular airframe was used exclusively to test propulsion systems such as the TFE1042, TFE731-5, -60 and -50. The test engine was installed on the left hand side. I believe there is an earlier comment posted by the son of one of our outstanding A&P mechanics, Terry Dillon. N200GT was a very highly modified Falcon 20. For instance she had 5 hydraulic pumps (two on the No. 2 engine and one on the No. 1 engine [test engine]). There were two electric hydraulic pumps as well. One of the first projects that I was involved with (FTE) on the aircraft was an evaluation of nacelle acoustic modifications in conjunction with NASA. This was one of the first applications evaluating nacelle chevrons. We also tested a variable area exit nozzle.

The may have been 200's but even the Coast Guard would informally call them Falcon 20's.

The Coast Guard had at least one craft for about seven years before they went into full service.
