About Eurofighter Typhoon
Fighter - Eurofighter Typhoon: The Eurofighter Typhoon is a twin-engine multi-role canard-delta strike fighter aircraft, designed and built by a consortium of European aerospace manufacturers, Eurofighter GmbH, formed in 1983.
After some delays full production is now underway and the aircraft has formally entered service with the Italian Air Force.

The following year France offically withdrew from the project to pursue its own ACX project, what was to become the Dassault Rafale.
Also in 1985 the BAe EAP was rolled out at BAe Warton, by this time also funded by MBB and BAe itself. The EAP first flew in August 1986. The Eurofighter bears a strong resemblance to the EAP. Design work ...
