The Euro-fighter Typhoon is a twin-engine, canard delta wing, multirole fighter aircraft. The Typhoon was designed by a consortium of three different companies they are; BAE Systems, Airbus Group and the Alenis Aermacchi all together they are holding a joint company called Euro-fighter Jagdflugzeug GmbH.    

Role: Multirole Fighter.

Manufacturer: Euro-Fighter Jagdflugzeug GmbH.
First: 27th March 1994.
Introduction: 4 August 2003.
Numbers built: 400 as of December 2013
Unit Cost: £64.8 million.
Developed from: British Aerospace EAP 


The typhoon has a fore-plane delta design which is inherently and intentionally aerodynamically unstable in subsonic flight. This was developed with experienced pilots to provide enhanced maneuverability while still being highly intuitive to fly.

What are the advantages of the Typhoon?

• Agile performance- When the Typhoon crosses into supersonic flight, the point of instability moves behind the center of gravity, giving a stable aircraft at high performance flight 
• Unrivaled flexibility- The ability to simultaneously support both Air-to-Air and Air-to-Surface scenarios allows the fleet to be used for a wide range of operations.
• Stealth Abilities- Leading technology materials and design provide the Typhoon with a reduced radar signature.
• Beyond visual range- Being able to operate beyond visual range(BVR)is a key advantage of the Typhoon.
• Radar- The upgrade of the radar to CAPTOR-E will bring significant operational benefits for the pilots of the Typhoon.
• Safety- The Typhoon has an unparalleled safety record, this has been proven in battle and hostile environments, it is designed to keep its pilots safe and operational.
