Damn that Rafale is sexy

The design of the Rafale is simply beautiful... damned, I could almost picture one of those TV spots for perfume-like products with a sensual french lady over the plane saying "Dassault... Rafale, tres irresistible", eh, really, the Designer's brand name (Yeh i know its named after Marcel Dassault) sounds like a fashion designer's brands!
It's a sensual and kick ass plane period!

Dassault Rafale , a French multirole fighter.
A multi-purpose fighter with the features of OWL.

So what's with the plane at 1:11? He looks to be coming in over the stern with his gear down, but he's nowhere near the deck. Did he get a wave-off or something? Must have been some well-appreciated break of routine for the guys to have an "exotic" plane like the Rafale on-deck for a day, huh? I wonder how many guys from down below came up just to check 'em out?

@cdwordsworth26 I'll hold off on judging which is better, but the Rafale and Typhoon only look similar in layout...clipped wing canard-delta's. The Rafale is a sleeker and smaller-looking design, without that boxy intake hanging underneath (I think those chin/side-hybrid intakes are the most distinctive, and best-looking part of the Rafale). The more aft-mounted canards of the Rafale give a triangular planform, and the Typhoon's look like whiskers! Of course, looks are secondary to performance.

Yep, and the only foreigners in the world to have to pleasure to land on this kind of sea's queen, would be nice for the french to buy another CVN, and why not a US made one, rather than a slow gaz propulsed cheap piece of british steel...
