Aside note: the French did a very nice job of designing CV and CTOL versions of the Rafale in parallel. It started with balancing the requirements so that the variants could be similar, went on to a compact shape without a wing fold, and continued through the first use of CATIA to get the best trade between low scar weight on the CTOL and production commonality.
