Europe's premier air superiority fighter built by a four-nation consortium with supercruise capability.

History

Born from the European Fighter Aircraft program of the 1980s, the Typhoon brought together Britain, Germany, Italy, and Spain in a massive collaborative defense project. The aircraft features delta-canard aerodynamics providing exceptional agility, and its EJ200 engines enable supercruise without afterburner. Advanced sensor fusion integrating radar, infrared, and electronic warfare systems give pilots unprecedented situational awareness. The Typhoon has seen combat over Libya and in operations against ISIS. It serves as the primary air defense fighter for multiple European NATO nations and several export customers.
