Supporting multiple weapon configurations

As well as Short Range Air-to-Air Missiles (SRAAM’s) and the 27mm Mauser Canon the Eurofighter Typhoon carries the latest beyond-visual-range (BVR) Air-to-Air missile technology. Soon the METEOR advanced long-range missile will provide the largest No Escape Zone of any Air-to-Air weapon, resulting in a long stand-off range and high probability of interception to ensure air superiority and pilot survivability. Guidance is provided by an active radar seeker with mid-course updates via data link.

The Laser Designator Pod (LDP) enables precise location of targets and guidance of Air-to-Surface weapons.

Eurofighter Typhoon has also been upgraded with Paveway IV to provide high levels of operational flexibility. The combat proven dual-mode guidance system, coupled with height of burst and penetrating capability, enable the decision of target engagement to be made right up to the point of release.

Eurofighter Typhoon will see the constant integration of new, smart weapons in accordance with the demands of current and future customers.

Storm Shadow, Taurus, Small Diametre Bombs, Brimstone, Anti-Shipping Missiles are just some of the upgrades planned.

LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS

The Life Support System & Aircrew Equipment Assembly (AEA) is unique to Eurofighter Typhoon and includes full-cover anti-G trousers (FCAGT), a chest counter-pressure garment (CCPG) and a liquid conditioning garment, as well as nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) protection.

The helmet incorporates the latest Helmet Mounted Symbology System (HMSS) and optical protection. For pilot comfort and optimum performance capability, Eurofighter Typhoon uses computer controlled anti-G and breathing support technology.



EJECTION SEAT

The Mk 16A ejection seat on the Eurofighter Typhoon is 30% lighter than equivalent ejection seats. This is achieved by combining the twin ejection gun outer cylinder tubes as both the propulsion system and the seat’s primary structure. The narrow head box also contributes to Eurofighter Typhoon’s excellent rear vision.

The seat integrates an on-board oxygen generation system (OBOGS) and communication systems. The simplified combined harness allows unassisted strap-in, and the passive leg restraint system avoids the need for the pilot to wear restraining garters. A second generation electronic sequencer is also incorporated. Reliability and maintainability are key elements of the design, with full access to in-cockpit components.



COCKPIT ACCESS

Normal access to the cockpit is through either a telescopic integral ladder or an external version. The integral ladder is stowed in the port side of the fuselage below the cockpit.

FUEL SYSTEM

Fuel System - Forward Transfer Tank

Fuel system - Forward transfer tank

Throughout the aircraft flexible couplings connect the fuel pipework built into the three main fuselage sections and wings. These provide a simple method to connect the fuel tanks, which all have fuel-flow proportioners to maintain the centre of gravity alongside relief valves to maintain air and fuel pressures. The intelligent computer-controlled fuel system ensures long-range, flexibility and safety.

@Abingdonboy your thoughts ? :azn:

If we judge by cockpit,here's my ranking ;

Rafale>F-22>Typhoon. :bunny:

The jealous will say fake or say i am a victim of patriotism. :azn:
In terms of cockpits the Rafale is distinctly ahead of the other two who look rather "bog standard" these days- the Typhoon's in particular is very dull and uninspired. The Rafale's cockpit design coupled with the fact all the displays (even of the sub-displays) are touch-screen is clearly a generation ahead.

The F-35's, ELBIT NG, Su-35/Super 30 MKI and F-18's proposed next gen cockipt are all more impressive looking than those on the F-22 and Typhoon:

LOL Probably not in the near future, Stephen. It's not only the planes that make up that club
hence the name Tri-lateral. That triangle is unlikely to morph into a square any time soon.
Check the host too, Langley-Eustis' 1st Fighter Wing is the USAF's tip of spear.
It's not a Flag thing, Red or Green hence the Initiative.

There will be exercises between Indian and French Rafales on a bilateral basis and next time
something like Red Flag 08-04 happens, maybe you'll bring a couple along the Sukhois.
But not on a TEI thing. That's for the small gang to learn to burst bubbles.



OK, that's it! No Raffy for India! I'm calling the MinDef right now!!!
Our plane a mere ( Christmas ) decoration, tsss! Bharati beotian!
Grmmmmbllll grrrrr. :pissed:

:happy:

Great day all, Tay.


No Sirji.
Rafale is our favourite and I hopes Def Min will conclude that deal ASAP.
But I was talking about world one and only operational fifth gen fighter.You know ,We know and entire world knows that reality.

Only the Su-35 can be said to be in the same class as the Typhoon/Rafale/F-22 raptor..
Plus the SU-34 is not a MRCA dude.:confused:
 
Wow so much detail and beautiful pictures
Eurofighter is a best in case of armament, weapon load, speed, maneuverability, radar, avionics and so on

Not just that. The main advantage our Typhoon has over other fighters of its class is that it was built/designed to be upgraded and extended with time. It already has quite a lead over other fighters, but its main advantage is that with the current/constant updates being carried out mainly by BAE systems it will only get even better thus extending the lead it has over its closest rivals like the Rafale.:enjoy:

:enjoy:


Just wish our defence giants continued with its naval version.:(


Funny thing is our defence giants offered this naval version to India for its carrier, but our government rejected any naval version for our own Navy. WTH?o_O
Britain offers Indian Navy Eurofighters while our own carriers go without - Mirror Online

:disagree:
 
This is also what i have noticed on here. The Russians on PDF are very cool/reserved and mind their own business i must confess. Its usually the Chinese(and Indians to some extent) who tend to be overtly overprotective of Russia even more than the Russians themselves. lol It's a strange phenomenon i must say. As i said on another thread, this shows that Russians are more mature and secured, unlike their 'partners/allies' from the developing world.:agree:.
I lived among the Russians and i also found them very reserve and less bragging individuals.

That's because they have always been an advanced industrialized developed power just like Britain, France, U.S. Japan etc. So they don't have anything much to prove to others, Unlike many other developing countries today who are suddenly 'rising' and are more prone to overreact over any small news/achievements. lol Its like a man who has been rich/powerful for a long time, his manners/way he behaves will be totally different from a poor man who just started gaining some wealth/power. lool:D:P
