The Eurofighter Typhoon or EF-2000 is a project of a consortium consisting of three companies: Alenai Aeronautica, BAE Systems and EADS. The four-nation Eurofighter is designed with low-swept delta wings with a canard tail. Its primary task is to conduct air combat and attack from beyond the visual range. It can also attack ground targets. The Eurofighter is characterized by high maneuverability in supersonic flights. Modern engines allow it to fly at supersonic speed without the use of afterburner. The Typhoon is armed with an internal 27 mm Mauser BK27 cannon. Thirteen nodes under the wing (4 + 4) and under the fuselage (5), BVRAAM (beyond visual attack air-to-air missile), ASRAAM (advanced air-to-air missile), Storm (air-to-ground) missiles can be attached Shadow or Taurus. The Typhoon's arsenal also includes the Brimstone and DWS 37 air-to-ground missiles and laser-beam bombs (laser target designation required). The integrated weapons control system monitors, tests and launches the arsenal attached under the wings. The EF-2000 target is an integrated electromagnetic emission detection and jamming system (ESM / ECM) called DASS, consisting of active jamming heads, emission detection antennas, forward and rear warning stations (RWR) and thermal (flare) and radar. Launch system (dipoles). Detection / tracking is performed (similar to the Russian MiG-29) by two systems. The first is a forward-looking thermal sensor (FLIR) operating in conjunction with the IRST thermal detection and tracking system. The second pair of eyes is of course the multitask Doppler radar ECR 90, operating in the X-band. It is manufactured by the Euroradar consortium consisting of the British company Marconi Electronic Systems, ENOSA from Spain, FIAR from Italy and Daimler Chrysler. Aerospace (DASA) from Germany. The Eurofighter pilot sits in a cockpit equipped with voice control. In addition, there are about 25 control buttons on the throttle and stick. Information is presented on the MHUD multifunction reflective display and three color MHDD multifunction displays on the console. It is supplemented by the HMS helmet presentation system. A Martin Baker Mk16A type 0-0 ejection chair was used. As the aircraft is statically unstable, the on-board computer is controlled directly from the control surfaces and the aileron actuator via a digital fly-by-wire system. The EFA is powered by two Eurojet EJ200 twin-jet engines, each of which provides 60 kN of thrust and 90 kN of afterburner each. The engines are digitally controlled. Technical data: Maximum speed: 2,124 km/h, rate of climb: 315 m/s, maximum ceiling 19,812 m, maximum range: 3,790 km, armament: fixed - 1 Mauser cannon, caliber 27 mm, suspended - up to 7,500 kg.
