The Dassault Etendard IV is a supersonic carrier-borne strike fighter aircraft designed for service with the French Navy. Performance of the Etendard IV was never spectacular, in the low supersonic range at altitude. It could reach Mach 1.3 at 11,000 meters and Mach 0.97 at low altitude. The last of the original Etendard IVMs were withdrawn in 1991, although a handful of IVPs remained operational in 2004.
