The Dassault M.D.450 Ouragan (in English: Hurricane) was a French fighter-bomber that entered service in 1952. It was the first jet-powered combat aircraft designed and produced by Dassault Aviation, a company founded by Marcel Dassault after World War II. The Ouragan was a simple and robust aircraft, powered by a single Rolls-Royce Nene turbojet engine, which gave it a top speed of 940 km/h and a range of 1,200 km. The Ouragan had four 20 mm cannons and could carry up to 900 kg of bombs or rockets under its wings.
The Ouragan was used by the French Air Force, the Indian Air Force, the Israeli Air Force and the Salvadoran Air Force. It saw combat action in several conflicts, such as the Suez Crisis, the Algerian War and the Six-Day War. The Ouragan was gradually replaced by more advanced jet fighters, such as the Dassault Mystère and the Dassault Mirage, but some of them remained in service until the 1980s.
