How the Mercure 100 fits into the Mercure story
Mercure 100 is the representative branch of the Dassault Mercure family, capturing the only production branch and the entire passenger story of the program.
This page isolates the Mercure 100 branch of the Dassault Mercure family, focusing on the engines, service entry, seating, range, and mission role that justify a dedicated variant page while keeping the family history on the canonical parent URL.

Why it branches from the family
The Mercure 100 is treated as the representative branch because it captures the only production branch and the entire passenger story of the program.
Variant pages stay intentionally narrower than the family page so differences in cabin, engines, mission, and market role remain clear without duplicating the full program history.

Variant pages stay intentionally narrower than family pages. They isolate meaningful technical or commercial differences while the canonical family page holds the broader historical narrative.
