Delta wings
The Mirage is delta winged and does not possess canards. High take-off and landing speeds and hence not for carriers. From F.A.S. web site High accelerations and maneuverability (3600 in 15 secs), at the same time low speed stability provided. Wings are low-mounted delta with clipped tips. One turbofan engine mounted in the fuselage. Semicircular air intakes alongside the fuselage.

Can fly at low speeds of 115 mph. Subsonic or low altitude maneuverability
F-16 Lower speeds due to flutter problems. Recommended not to fly below 150kt/hr High altitude maneuverability (3600/13seconds) Can go up to 9g rapidly. -Interavia (1986)
