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!

    Thanks Greebers. Yes I am still making planes, and trying to build as many of planes being recommended I can. Don't pay no never mind to the jelly trolls and fake accounts.

    Your planes are the coolest one's in this whole game. I was wondering if you could do a Avro Lancaster bomber. I would try building it myself but I'm not very good at building planes :) Sorry I posted this again, I thought I should put it somewhere more recent. Thanks!

    I kind of agree with the long-winded CFox guy. Scriefers is like the Lance Armstrong of SimplePlanes: the cheating villain who has convinced everyone that he is a great hero.

    Hi, there's just an idea, not obligated like this strange "OperationDesertStorm" or "Planesnthings", but I think you should do planes that are less knowned or make (in this game), and not an other F-35 or any other fighter jet, cause we just have this, again and again. Just an idea, a Focke Wulf FW 190 (Dora or normal) that is an excellent plane, but not very made in this game, or a less knowned Focke Wulf FW 52, just for example. But a civil plane can be interesting, like a Lockheed Super Constellation, or a simple Cessna 172 Skyhawk II. (Excuse me for my English, I'm a "Frenchie" like you love saying, Americans)

    Mr. Scriefers, you are truly ruining this plane sharing feature. I wasn't sure before, but today I've been looking at planes on here for a while and I literally watched you do it this time. Someone is clearly spamming you and keeps rating this plane down with multiple accounts, but then you take some of your accounts (you seem to have dozens) and rate it back up and it magically reappears right back up at the top. I wouldn't even care that much about that, but every single time this plane reappears, every other plane that is near the top immediately disappears because you "1 star" it. I know this is true because just a few minutes ago I was looking through some of the planes 5 or 6 pages back and rating up some that I thought deserved more attention. Then I looked back less than 10 minutes later and your plane was back at the top and every single plane that I had just rated up was already several pages farther down. I have no doubt anymore that you are doing this, and I earnestly ask you to stop being so selfish. Thank you.

    Don't rate your own plane 5, that's desperate.
