The Eurofighter Typhoon, also known as the EF-2000 and EFA, is a new(as of 2005) multirole jet fighter made by Eurofighter GmbH, a conglomeration of
British, Spanish, German, and Italian aerospace companies.
Like most modern fighters of the 1990s, the Eurofighter is the result of a painfully long development
period dating back to the early 1970s and is just now entering service.
The Typhoon features a delta wing with canards(a rather trendy arrangment), a chin-mounted air intake, a funky looking bulbous canopy, and a
fucking huge tailfin. Despite the fact that the Eurofighter currently lacks thrust vectoring, its pretty damn manouverable. Its also supercruise capable. Compared to new American and Russian fighters, it doesn'
t appear to be stealthy.
Sure, the Eurofighter is probably pretty kickass, but I'll bet an
F-22 would still own it. Not that i
like the
Raptor too much either, long live the Tomcat!
