FS2002/FS2004 Dassault Mercure Model F-BTTI. In 1967 Dassault proposed to compete with the Boeing 737 by the top-of-the-range one, i.e. with an aircraft of 140 seats, which would make it possible for the company to apply to civil transport its knowledge in high speed aerodynamics and lift at low speed. The aircraft is called Mercure (Mercury) by Marcel Dassault: "Wanting to give the name of a god of mythology, I found of them only one which had wings with its helmet and ailerons with its feet, from where the Mercure name".
