Of the 138 Typhoons, currently operated by the Royal Air Force, 20 aircraft are two-seat, fully combat-capable trainers. The majority of these Typhoon T3s are part of No 29 Squadron, tasked with training pilots converting to the Eurofighter. The model is equipped with two drop tanks as well as the usual single air-to-air practice missile on an outboard pylon for target detection.Â
Please note: An optional display stand is available separately if you wish to display this model "in-flight".
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.
