Corgi Aviation 1/72 scale AA36403: Eurofighter Typhoon F.Mk 2 DA2 (Test Aircraft) ZH588 of 43 Sqn RAF, Leuchars, Scotland, 1998. Limited Edition of 1,810 models.
Length 8.75 inches Wingspan 6 inches
The Typhoon is an agile, single-seat, multirole aircraft optimized for high altitude, supersonic air combat, but also capable of operating at much lower levels in the air to- ground roles. It is built by a four-nation consortium comprised of companies from the UK, Germany, Italy and Spain. The state-of-the art aircraft is set to be the RAF's major frontline type for many years to come, replacing the RAF's Tornado F3 fighters and Jaguar fighter-bombers in frontline service. Based at RAF Lechers in 1998, DA2 sported this striking black livery.
Designed as part of a co-operative effort by Germany, Italy and the UK to produce an air superiority fighter, the Eurofighter was first flown on March 27th, 1994. The Eurofighter is a single-seat, twin-engine, agile combat aircraft used in air-to-air, air-to-ground and tactical reconnaissance roles. It is intentionally aerodynamically unstable, which gives it its high levels of agility-but this means the Typhoon is controlled by a computerized "fly by wire" system instead of by its pilot. The Eurofighter's first rate performance is matched by excellent all round vision and by sophisticated attack, identification and defense systems and stealth technology. |
