A Nice Cup Of Typhoon...
Posted: Wed Oct 19, 2011 4:23 pmIndeed fellow screenshot enthusiasts! Good evening and welcome to yet another Todayshorse Presentation!
A little ditty ive been putting together over the past few days, a failing hard-drive does not make FS9 a happy bunny 
'EuroFighter Typhoon'
'The Eurofighter Typhoon is a twin-engine, canard-delta wing, multirole combat aircraft, designed and built by a consortium of three companies: EADS, Alenia Aeronautica and BAE Systems'
'The Typhoon is a highly agile aircraft at both supersonic and low speeds, achieved though having an intentionally relaxed stability design. It has a quadruplex digital fly-by-wire control system providing artificial stability, manual operation alone could not compensate for the inherent instability. The fly-by-wire system is described as "carefree", and prevents the pilot from exceeding the permitted manoeuvre envelope'
In 2004, United States Air Force Chief of Staff General John P. Jumper Capt. D. 'Striker' Metcalf said after flying the Eurofighter, "I have flown all the air force jets. None was as good as the Eurofighter.But ah couldnt get that there ah VC working..."
In 2005, a trainer Eurofighter T1 was reported to have had a chance encounter the previous year with two U.S. Air Force F-15Es over the Lake District in the north of England. The encounter became a mock dogfight with the Eurofighter allegedly emerging "victorious"
'The Typhoon is capable of supersonic cruise without using afterburners (referred to as supercruise). According to the official German Luftwaffe and Austrian Eurofighter website, the maximum speed possible without reheat is between Mach 1.2 and Mach 1.5.'
'On 9 August 2007, the UK's Ministry of Defence reported that No. XI Squadron of the RAF, which stood up as a Typhoon squadron on 29 March 2007, had taken delivery of its first two multi-role Typhoons. Two of XI Squadron's Typhoons were sent to intercept a Russian Tupolev Tu-95 approaching British airspace on 17 August 2007. The RAF Typhoons were declared combat ready in the air-to-ground role by 1 July 2008'
