Eurofighter Typhoon

Pan-European 4.5-generation canard-delta multirole fighter — the air superiority and strike backbone of the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, and Spain, and a cornerstone of NATO’s European airpower since 2003.

Overview

The Eurofighter Typhoon is a twin-engine, canard-delta, multirole fighter developed and produced by a consortium of the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, and Spain. It entered operational service in 2003–2004 and has since formed the backbone of the partner nations’ fighter forces, with additional exports to Austria, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, and Qatar. The aircraft is optimised for high-altitude, high-speed intercepts and swing-role missions, combining long-range Meteor air-to-air missiles with a modern AESA radar, an integrated defensive aids suite, and a large external payload.
