Dassault Aviation S.A. is a French aircraft manufacturer headquartered near Paris, founded in 1929 as Societe des Avions Marcel Bloch by engineer Marcel Bloch, who took the name Marcel Dassault after the Second World War, adapting a nom de guerre used by his brother in the French Resistance. Dassault Aviation is known for military aircraft including the Mirage series and the Rafale multirole fighter, both widely exported, as well as the Falcon line of business jets. The company remains closely tied to the wider Dassault Group, which also holds a major stake in the design software company Dassault Systemes.
