For the Finland offer, and potentially RAF down the road(either way) once the new UK specific AESA radar is complete.

I do like the move towards Wide Area Displays, it gives such a massive leap in situation awareness and correlated data feeds to the pilot. The typhoon above seems like they have taken a number of the viewable panels and made them visible at the same time and adopted a touch screen interface.

After some research, i found out that the Eurofighter is using a Greenhill originated Real-Time Operating system (RTOS) - https://www.ghs.com/

I wonder if they will use the same operting system for the Tempest programme( i suspect so, given there are not many other RTOS that are military grade out there ).

I wonder if we will see the JF17 Block III cockpit anytime soon ( .. wait.. let me rephrase that .. I wonder if we will see the JF17 Block III anytime soon in a meaningul way !!!! ).

I would never be comfortable with having any vital equipment which has one single point of failure, may it be multi function printers or widescreen cockpit displays. Looks neat though

The variant of the Eurofighter being offered to Finland will be the most advanced fighter built in Europe until Tempest comes along - interesting proposition on the table.
