Eurofighter Typhoon


The Eurofighter Typhoon is the world's most modern swing-role fighter. Once conceived as a multi-national program to modernize the Air Forces of the European industrial partner nations, the Eurofighter Typhoon has in the meantime been sold to five additional customers (Austria, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Sultanate of Oman, Kuwait, and Qatar) and thus doubled the number of its original user nations.

 

It is powered by two EJ200 engines that give the Eurofighter Typhoon its impressive thrust-to-weight ratio and maneuverability. The core of this state-of-the-art weapon system is its identification capability and sensor fusion, based on the CAPTOR-E AESA radar and the PIRATE FLIR sensor while being protected by the PRAETORIAN Electronic Defensive Aid Sub System (DASS). No other fighter aircraft has integrated a comparably high number of European and U.S. weapons and is thus combat-ready whatever the mission.

Air superiority

In the air superiority mission, the Eurofighter Typhoon will typically be equipped with air-to-air missiles for the BVR and short-range combat. It is the combination of thrust, maneuverability, modern sensors, and data fusion that makes the Eurofighter Typhoon the superior air warfare platform.

 

 

Air interdiction

In this role, the Eurofighter Typhoon is configured for ground attacks, and even though it is equipped with a targeting pod and up to 4 ground attack weapons, it carries still 4 Radar and 2 Infrared missiles.

 

Close air support

The recent integration contract for the Brimstone has strengthened the CAS capabilities of the Eurofighter Typhoon since it can now engage in combat with a reduced risk of collateral damages to non-combatant or friendly forces.

 

Eurofighter Combat

The Eurofighter Typhoon is the world’s most advanced new generation multi-role/swing-role combat aircraft available on the market.
