Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion (Part 2)

Exactly. Let’s just keep this a civil discussion, please.

It’s perfectly fine to disagree with conclusions, sources, or interpretations of the data, but let’s focus on the arguments being made rather than where someone comes from or which forum they frequent. If there are issues with the calculations, documentation, or assumptions used, then those are the points worth discussing. No Ad Hominem is needed, ever.

Keep it technical, keep it constructive, and assume good faith from other participants.

Sadly the box is presnt above F-15E in US air tree. But if you look close enough in ground tree of Japan you might see the box which would indicate they would also add scorpion 90

i really want to post the unknown technology meme but it would derail further. i just want to celebrate the control surface fixes on dev

Question is - will they STAY fixed or revert like the Chally trunnion thing?

Didn’t see much of a difference if I’m honest.

At least at high speed the rudder still flip flops you around.

Better at very very low speed.

its less of a dead dish at low speeds. im glad that we got that at least

TLDR, he thinks the Typhoon should perform like a Tornado

Hear me out, he’s thinking in the right direction, just backwards

Maybe then it’d get a functional radar.

What - the Tonka flies faster backwards than it does forwards?

I’ve been using Thrust Reversers all wrong…

Got to see a Typhoon DA4 up close at Cosford Airshow.

Also watched the Typhoon display too but got to go through about 1000 photos of it.

Does the Typhoon get ALARM and how many can it carry?

not currently

Right now it only carries 2x AGM-88C on the outer wing pylon (one that has the BOL)

Can it carry AGM-88 with BOL pods or does it need to scarifies BOL pods?

afaik BOL pods are integral

Ohk

I think the BOL rail is for IR Missile only. The Agm88C replaces the double amraam rack so the second outermost hardpoint. Could be wrong, tho.
Kinda dissapointed me, I was hoping the HARM would be on the innermost wing pylon, so you can just take them in ARB and sling it off at the start, giving you a bit more score, but it just was not meant to be TwT.
