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!
