“Four nations, one delta, zero compromise.”
Born from the British Aerospace EAP technology demonstrator that flew on 6 August 1986, the Eurofighter Typhoon prototype took to the air on 27 March 1994. Named "Typhoon" in September 1998, it entered Royal Air Force service on 4 August 2003. The canard-delta, twin-EJ200 fighter is built on four parallel assembly lines across Europe—Airbus, BAE Systems, and Leonardo sharing the load. With over 609 airframes delivered and an estimated service life to 2060, it remains Europe's most successful collaborative combat aircraft programme.
The Typhoon is built on four parallel lines by Airbus, BAE and Leonardo, with 609 airframes planned through 2060 — if you fly a multi-nation type, configuration and parts support follow the production split, not a single factory's habits.
