A unique exhibit: the naval prototype of the Jaguar. The Jaguar M was set to replace the Etendard IV. Flight testing revealed that the aircraft was underpowered and unresponsive during a deck landing without afterburners, and overpowered with them turned on. The issues were probably curable, but ideally the M needed a bigger wing, and the Jaguar M was cancelled when Dassault promised that its all-French Super Etendard would work out cheaper.
