This Typhoon two-seater received an eye-catching paint scheme to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 20th Squadron (Gruppo). 20 Gruppo is the Operational Conversion Unit for future Eurofighter pilots. Whereas the squadron's emblem is depicted on the right side, the tradition-steeped, mouse-catching cat of the 51st Wing under which a new Eurofighter squadron is to be set up shortly, is emblazoned on the left.
Please note: An optional display stand is available separately if you wish to display this model "in-flight".
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.
