A general term sometimes used to refer to European jet fighters. It's a portmanteau of Euro (for European) and canard (given that most of the new-ish European jet fighters have a canard setup, wherein they have smaller stabilizers mounted up front and their main wings farther back to help with maneuverability).
The Eurofighter EF2000 Typhoon, Saab JAS 39 Gripen, and Dassault Rafale are examples of eurocanard fighters.
