Dassault MD.750
{{short description|French delta-wing fighter concept aircraft}}
The Dassault MD.750 (Mirage 6000 or Mega Mirage or Spectre) was a single-seat twinjet tailless delta interceptor aircraft concept developed by Dassault Aviation beginning in 1958 and being periodically reworked through the 1960s.
Design
Among the design goals were a maximum speed of Mach 3.5, with a high rate of climb of about 5 or 6 minutes to an altitude of {{cvt|16000|m}}.
The delta wing is mounted low and extends most of the length of the fuselage aft of the intakes, as with other Mirage fighters, and it has a single vertical tail but uses square section intake ramps with a linear shock plate rather than shock cones, as used on the North American A-5 Vigilante and Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 unlike other Mirage fighters, with a similarly boxy fuselage intake section to those types.Le Fana de l'Aviation nr. 461 April 2007{{cite web|url=https://www.aviationsmilitaires.net/v2/base/view/Model/1215.html|title=Dassault MD-750 Mirage Mach III | website=aviationsmilitaires.net | accessdate=4 Jan 2018}} The existence of the project under the name Spectre was confirmed by Dassault Aviation's Vice-president in a tweet containing several artist's renditions.{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/stephane_fort/status/664189554161819648|title=Tweet from Stéphane Fort | work=Twitter | date=10 Nov 2015 | accessdate=4 Jan 2018}}
