The Eurofighter Typhoon was designed as the world's most advanced swing-role combat aircraft. The Eurofighter concept has been conceived
since the beginning as a multi-role/swing-role platform that would meet
the exacting operational demands of the air forces of Germany, Italy,
Spain and the United Kingdom. Typhoon is the only fighter available on
the market able to perform with such high operational and fleet
effectiveness.
The Eurofighter is the product of a consortium of British Aerospace, Deutsche Aerospace (Germany), Alenia
(Italy), and CASA (Spain), with the United Kingdom and Germany providing technological leadership. Under
full-scale development since 1988, the Eurofighter is a 46,000 lb, single-seat, twin-engine short takeoff
and landing (STOL) multirole fighter, optimized for air superiority with both beyond-visual-range (BVR)
missile capability and close-in combat agility, but also featuring air-to-ground capabilities.
