The "Quadriga Project" was a project that cumulated in the development and purchase of the in the meantime 4th block of the Eurofighter. The technically upgraded aircraft will replace older, less capable Eurofighters from the first batch delivered to Germany. The binary code behind the cockpit represents the ongoing digitalization of the German Luftwaffe, whereas the blue polygonal design interprets the corporate design of the German armed forces. The final major element is a "quadriga" on the stabilizer, an ancient Roman chariot pulled by four horses which can also be found atop Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. Designed as part of a co-operative effort by Germany, Italy and the UK to produce an air superiority fighter, the Eurofighter was first flown on March 27th, 1994. The Eurofighter is a single-seat, twin-engine, agile combat aircraft used in air-to-air, air-to-ground and tactical reconnaissance roles. It is intentionally aerodynamically unstable, which gives it its high levels of agility-but this means the Typhoon is controlled by a computerized "fly by wire" system instead of by its pilot. The Eurofighter's first rate performance is matched by excellent all round vision and by sophisticated attack, identification and defense systems and stealth technology. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
