Typhoon (Eurofighter Typhoon, commonly known as: Eurotyphoon, other name: EF-2000), is a multi-purpose fourth-generation semi-fighter fighter designed by European fighter company, twin-engine, delta wing, duck layout, high mobility .
The European fighter company (Eurofighter GmbH) involved in the design and production was composed of several European aerospace companies in 1986, and the related research and development plan was launched in 1979. The special significance of the European typhoon fighter plan is not only military but also political. This is the first time that a group of more than two countries has begun to integrate resources at the research and development stage; carrying out a weapons project will also be the road to European integration. The symbolic promotion effect was issued. The moment when the typhoon fighters served in various countries also became a live media promotion in Europe. The typhoon fighters had already fought a victory before they actually entered the battlefield, and the concept has changed. national boundaries.
Typhoon fighters, French Dassault gust fighters and Swedish Saab JAS-39 fighters are called the "three males" in Europe because of their excellent performance.
Model structure
The typhoon fighter adopts a duck-shaped delta-wing tailless layout, and a rectangular air intake is located under the fuselage. This layout makes it have excellent mobility, but the stealth ability is correspondingly weakened. The control system is a full-fledged 4 redundancy active control digital telex system with automatic task configuration capability.
It is widely made of carbon fiber composite materials, glass fiber reinforced plastics, aluminum-lithium alloys, titanium alloys and aluminum alloys. The composite materials account for about 40% of the whole machine. Some stealth technologies are used, including low radar cross-section and passive sensors. The aerodynamically unstable design of the front duck delta structure provides a high degree of agility (especially at supersonic speeds), low air resistance and improved lift. The wings use seamless flaps. Pilots control the aircraft to provide good flight control characteristics by automatically controlling the flight control computer 40 times per second and the full-fledged 4 redundancy control digital telex system. It has excellent super-maneuverability without the use of a vector engine. Thanks to the good fuselage design, it not only maintains excellent high-speed maneuverability, but also has a good fighting ability, especially high-speed and high overload fighting. In order to increase the range, it also has the ability to refuel in the air.
