Dimensions
The fuselage shape and dimensions have changed very little during the 25 years that the Mirage has been in production. The single seat interceptor/multi-role fighter and two seat trainer and strike version share the same wing. The two seater is somewhat longer than the single seater. The empty weight has, over the years, risen only very modestly. This reflects the strength of the fuselage and wing.
