The Eurofighter Typhoon is a European multinational twin-engine, supersonic, canard delta wing, multirole fighter. [3] [4] The Typhoon was designed originally as an air-superiority fighter [5] and is manufactured by a consortium of Airbus, BAE Systems and Leonardo that conducts the majority of the project through a joint holding company, Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug GmbH.
The Eurofighter Typhoon has a canard delta wing configuration. A lifting-canard delta can offer a smaller shift in the center of lift with increasing Mach number compared to a conventional tail configuration. An unloaded or free-floating canard can allow a safe recovery from a high angle of attack.
The Typhoon T1 is a Tranche 1, batch 1 two-seat trainer. The first Typhoon T1 is one of the Instrumented Production Aircraft (IPA1) and remains part of the BAE fleet. The aircraft's maiden flight was on 15 April 2002. The official in service date for the first RAF Typhoon T1, serial ZJ803, was 30 June 2003. [25] [unreliable source?
The Typhoon-EK’s single-seat configuration might amount to a step back in effectiveness, but Airbus is seemingly counting on a new onboard AI system (by defense startup Helsing) to rapidly ...
A prominent fighter aircraft to be furnished with a V-TAS cockpit is the Eurofighter Typhoon. [7] [8] [dead link ] Other examples includes the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, the Dassault Rafale and the Saab JAS 39 Gripen. [9] Another common enhancement has been the combination of helmet mounted display (HMD) systems.
The origins of the EAP can be found within the Agile Combat Aircraft (ACA) programme performed by British Aerospace (BAe) during the late 1970s and early 1980s. [2] [3] It is known that ACA had involved the combining of several years of private venture research conducted by BAe, costed at around £25 million, together with similar contemporary studies that had been performed by West German ...
The EuroFirst Passive Infrared Airborne Track Equipment (PIRATE) is the forward looking infrared (FLIR)/infra-red search and track (IRST) for the Eurofighter Typhoon. [1] It is produced by the EuroFIRST consortium consisting of Leonardo S.p.A. of Italy (lead contractor and design and technical authority), Thales Land & Joint Systems of the UK, and Tecnobit of Spain.
If a collision is predicted, a cockpit warning may be provided. This is the type of system deployed on aircraft such as the Eurofighter Typhoon. [23] The U.S. FAA has also conducted a study about adapting 3-D military thrust vectoring to recover civil jetliners from catastrophes. [24]
