The Eurofighter Typhoon is a twin-engine, canard-delta wing, multirole fighter. Development of the aircraft effectively began in 1983 with the Future European Fighter Aircraft programme, a multinational collaborative effort between the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain. Because of disagreements over design authority and operational requirements, France left the consortium to develop the Dassault Rafale independently instead.
The Typhoon was introduced into operational service in 2003. Currently, the type has entered service with the Austrian Air Force, the Italian Air Force, the German Air Force, the Royal Air Force, the Spanish Air Force, and the Royal Saudi Air Force. The Eurofighter Typhoon is a highly agile aircraft, designed to be an effective dogfighter when in combat with other aircraft; later production aircraft have been increasingly better equipped to undertake air-to-surface strike missions and to be compatible with a likewise increasing number of different armaments and equipment.
The Typhoon saw its combat debut during the 2011 military intervention in Libya with the Royal Air Force and the Italian Air Force, performing reconnaissance and ground strike missions.
I made this plane as a little self-imposed challenge and got inspiration from IAMcoolguy.
This is my one of my fastest replica planes with a max cruising velocity approaching 700mph. She is agile and flies level when above 550mph. Until that speed, she tends to pitch very slightly upwards. As always, detachment 1 jettisons landing gear.
If there is interest, I will upload an armed version with bombs and missiles, or you can mod this beauty yourself! Also, I'm kind of running out of ideas, so I welcome any requests!
