The at the Laage air base near Rostock fighter squadron 73 is the first and only training squadron for the new all-purpose fighter EF 2000, called the Eurofighter in Germany and Austria, but elsewhere called Typhoon. The EF 2000, initially designed as Jäger 90 in 1983, is currently being introduced at the air force after seemingly endless difficulties and enormously increased system costs. The air force has ordered 180 machines, which have already replaced the MiG-29s and will soon replace the F-4 Phantom. 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. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
