    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurofighter_Typhoon

    The Eurofighter Typhoon is a European multinational twin-engine, supersonic, canard delta wing, multirole fighter. [3] [4] The Typhoon was designed originally as an air-superiority fighter [5] and is manufactured by a consortium of Airbus, BAE Systems and Leonardo that conducts the majority of the project through a joint holding company, Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug GmbH.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust-to-weight_ratio

    The thrust-to-weight ratio is usually calculated from initial gross weight at sea level on earth [6] and is sometimes called thrust-to-Earth-weight ratio. [7] The thrust-to-Earth-weight ratio of a rocket or rocket-propelled vehicle is an indicator of its acceleration expressed in multiples of earth's gravitational acceleration, g 0. [5] The ...

    The aircraft first flew on 6 April 1994 as ZH588. The flight control assessment included development of the Eurofighter's "carefree handling". On 23 December 1997 DA2 became the first Eurofighter to achieve Mach 2 and in January 1998 undertook refuelling trials with a RAF VC10. Like DA1, DA2 was upgraded in 1998 with new engines, ejector seat ...

  6. Eurojet EJ200 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurojet_EJ200

    EJ200 displayed at ILA Berlin Air Show 2018. The Eurojet consortium was formed in 1986 to co-ordinate and manage the project largely based on XG-40 technology. In common with the XG-40, the EJ200 has a three-stage fan with a high pressure ratio, five-stage low-aspect-ratio high-pressure (HP) compressor, a combustor using advanced cooling and thermal protection, and single-stage HP and LP ...

  7. Pratt & Whitney F119 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_&_Whitney_F119

    Delivering almost 22% more thrust with 40% fewer parts than its F100 predecessor, the F119 allows the F-22 to achieve supercruise speeds of up to Mach 1.8. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The F119's nozzles incorporate thrust vectoring that enable them to direct the engine thrust ±20° in the pitch axis to give the F-22 enhanced maneuverability.

    For example, Lockheed Martin has applied the term "fifth generation" to its F-22 and F-35 aircraft, but this has been challenged by its competitors Eurofighter GmbH and Boeing IDS. [10] [11] It has been suggested that Lockheed Martin "labeled the F-35 a 'fifth-generation' fighter in 2005, a term it borrowed from Russia in 2004 to describe the F ...

  9. Supermaneuverability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermaneuverability

    F-22 Raptor, the first U.S. operational supermaneuverable fighter aircraft.It has thrust vectoring and a thrust-to-weight ratio of 1.26 at 50% fuel.. Traditional aircraft maneuvering is accomplished by altering the flow of air passing over the control surfaces of the aircraft—the ailerons, elevators, flaps, air brakes and rudder.
