Eurofighter: The World's Most Advanced Swing Role Aircraft
High-tech in the skies has a name: Eurofighter Typhoon is a highly agile Air Superiority and Air-to-Surface, multi-role/swing-role weapon system. Integrated systems, an optimal Human Machine Interface (HMI) and state-of-the-art production technologies, e.g. use of carbon fibre composites (CFCs), make Eurofighter Typhoon the most state-of-the-art high-performance multirole combat aircraft currently around.
Eurofighter Typhoon is the ideal solution for the defence tasks of modern air forces: it is completely interoperable and is designed for network centric operations. Reliability, Maintainability and Testability have been given equal priority to flight safety, effectiveness and performance. This reduces cost of ownership throughout the life cycle, delivering a highly affordable solution.
Through cooperation offered to other nations that goes beyond offset business and programme participation, Eurofighter is strengthening industrial integration in Europe. This can be seen in the export contract concluded with Austria for the procurement of Eurofighter aircraft, which involves offset business to the benefit of both sides. Being a European joint programme, Eurofighter is also making a major contribution to increasing Europe's competitiveness in the high-tech global aerospace market.
