That may give the French fighter new opportunities for export. After studies and simulations, engineers determined that Dassault Aviation's Rafale Marine is capable of taking off of aircraft carriers without catapults but with a springboard. For this, no change in structure would be needed over Rafale of French naval aviation, implemented since Charles de Gaulle using catapults. For the collection of the plane, an oblique track with strands arrest is necessary, however. For now, only Russia, China and India have, or will have, aircraft carriers with diving stop and strands. If the first two countries, the acquisition of Rafale is excluded, it is however a new opportunity for India. The latter, for now, plans to equip its two new aircraft carriers, and the Vikramaditya Vikrant, Russian MiG-29K. But New Delhi is also in phase with Dassault Aviation exclusive talks to buy Rafale for its air force. The contract, which could be signed in the coming months, does not include aircraft navalisés. But if India wants, it may have an alternative to the MiG-29K, with the advantage of its future fleet mix. For now, no application has been made in this direction, but the option is technically what is good to know.

Outside India, the Rafale's ability to take off on a bridge ending with a springboard could, in the coming years, interest to other countries, like Brazil, which wants to develop to term of two new door aircraft and would thus not have to opt for buildings catapults. This, while the Rafale is already proposed to modernize the Brazilian Air Force.
Ideally, any carrier or aircraft carrier with a platform and being wide enough to accommodate an oblique track could, could be affected. The most critical technical point concerns the spaces available in the flight deck to accommodate the machinery of the press brake, related strands of stops. New British aircraft carrier can be equipped, but it is less evident for the Italian Cavour, which would probably require heavy work. For now, the buildings of the Royal Navy and the Marina Militare must implement aircraft short takeoff and vertical landing F-35B. But this program already suffers long delays and extra costs, even though the F-35 is just entering the development phase of its systems, generally considered the most complex aviation program.

Just imagine folks if we have carrier armed with rafale ,what wonders would it add to the capabilty & force projection of indian NAVY
