Eurofighter Typhoon (Germany) Dev Thread

Is Typhoon supposed to have ~868kg/min [434kg/min per engine] fuel consumption on full reheat near mach 1?

Spoiler


Note, this is a Thrust Specific Fuel Consumption of 1.8, which makes the TSFC correct to EuroJet claims.

eh I wouldn’t say they’re primitive, that’d be wrong in several ways

they just didn’t have money for research for 10 years and are thus behind

they tried catching up with our help before the recent political thing that I won’t mention which kinda stopped that

@Sahilku010101 Can you add a poll to your opening about reverting the supercruise nerf?

9L/I-1 is officially under consideration for the Eurofighter

Yet they believe statements from Dassault about Super Etendard:

Does that say it can auperceuise at M1.18 ~10975m in an interceptor configuration or is the image translator wrong?

@Flame2512 @Gunjob might have an exact config, speed and alt to test now depwnding on the validity of this sheet.

Marschgeschwindigkeit - 1.275 km/h in 10.975 m Höhe bei Horizontal- flug (als Abfangjäger) Mach 1,18 Höchstgeschwindigkeit

Translates as “fighter-interceptor”, so I think yes, but it’s better to ask more savvy people

If im understanding it correctly, its clear proof the EFT in WT is underperforming in supercruise, this is the screenshot from the bug report:

Note, the loadout in the pic has 2x 9L + 6x AMRAAM with NO fuel tanks, and is underperforming the document by M0.18

I’m almost certain interceptor configuration is 2x SRAAM 6x MRAAM and 2 fuel tanks.

Whats the source from?

as an native German, its correct
Abfangjäger are 2 words together

Abfang = can be translated to Intercepter
and Jäger = Fighter

Well, I am not a native German speaker, although there were Russian Germans in my family a very, very long time ago)

And besides, in school and college (not institute or university, if we take European logic) I studied German in English lessons and answered in it for fun 😅

Asking on this thread now for you to support this cause, which directly affects Eurofighter;

“We THINK this is a clear marketing lie” a.k.a we are not going to add it even though we know it’s correct because your not allowed to have fun.
