A Nice Cup Of Typhoon...

Postby todayshorse » Wed Oct 19, 2011 4:23 pm

Indeed 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'


Image


'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'


Image


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..."


Image


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"


Image


'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.'


Image


'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'

Many thanks for looking and comments welcomed - good or bad!

Wow, beautiful shots Simon! Great bit of history/info, and I get the humor! hahaha
My specs... A hard drive, motherboard, graphics card, some memory, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor - in other words, nothing special.

Not bad for an aeroplane without two or three wings and no propeller... ;)

Well done on the shots and commentary... ;)

According to wikipedia, other 'nations' were not too chuffed about it being called 'Typhoon', and certainly most unimpressed when it was mooted to be called the 'Spitfire 2'.

Have to agree on that though, it would have been silly to have a 'spitfire 2' - i think we have one spitfire, and thats that thanks! Apart from the Triumph Spitfire (with its nasty Corvair like swing arm rear suspension!)

That's awesome ;D.
Which eurofighter is that? Who made it? Does it work in fsx? ;)
Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.
