Maintaining the aviation heritage which includes such famous aircraft as the Sopwith Camel and Supermarine Spitfire, the Eurofighter Typhoon is the current air defence fighter of the Royal Air Force and one of the most advanced multi-role aircraft in the world. First entering RAF service in 2006, the agile Typhoon provided the UK with an effective air superiority fighter, one capable of protecting Britain's airspace against all hostile incursions and possessing the ability to engage in close air to air combat when required. The aircraft has since evolved to include the ability to fly armed reconnaissance and strike missions, making this arguably the most important aircraft in recent Royal Air Force history.
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.
