Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

Um, hi, @Flame2512 , sorry for the late ping, but since you seem to be quite competent, I’ll address it to you: I have a question about the image quality of the IRST (TV-channel ?). The Rafale currently has a 2nd gen thermal , while the Typhoon has a 1st gen. Is that the way it should be?

Part of the video claims is that not showing the full document means people can manipulate what data they show and can show things without context. That is their opinion, not mine. Keep in mind, he also hasn’t uploaded the full document because “its 100’s of pages.”

The refutation to some turn rate bug reports were that the engines were expected to underperform, and therefore the performance estimations would be lower than the actual aircraft performance. However on the next page the document that others did not show says they can fix the engine performance and the video claims that the estimations were with the actual full engine thrust.

If people care to look this guy talks about this at 42:00 in the video.

this is technically a canard no? moving too

Yeah, but only 2D Vectoring. And as far as I can tell the HARV got it’s 3D vectoring after the X-31 as well.

There’s a quote from one of the MBB engineers somewhere, but I can’t find it anymore. So currently I don’t have any

The TV Channel should be a copy paste of the TPOD the plane can equipped. The PIRATE and OSF don’t have independent sight values (magnification, Thermal gen…). The only change is that without carrying a TPOD the elevation and azimuth limits are those of the onboard camera, and when equipping a TPOD they become the limits of the TPOD

I’m told it’s Gen 2. Not by flame though. But I was told.

F-15 ACTIVE got 3D TVC in 1993 with the new engines.

Yeah, and the X-31 first flew 1990

@da12thmonkey made me my own Seek and Destroy ZK315, very happy chappy. Cheers mate.
