The Mirage III V-01 was a French vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) prototype fighter aircraft, developed in the mid-1960s. It was fitted with a TF104B engine and eight Rolls Royce RB162-1 lifting jets. The design was in response to a NATO specification for a VTOL strike fighter. Although its good prespectives, on 28 March 1966 the Defence Ministry halted the Mirage III V production programme for financial reasons.
