This was due to the aircraft's original design requirements. Of all the fighter options likely to be considered by the RCAF, the Eurofighter offers the best overall aerodynamic performance. Each partner nation possesses a production line, but a Canadian purchase would likely be supplied by BAE Systems' facility in Warton, UK. In total, 559 will be delivered by the current projected end of production, sometime after 2017. Currently, the Typhoon is in service with the four partner nations, and won export orders to Austria (2002), Saudi Arabia (2006) and Oman (2012). Part of the issue was managing a massive multinational project with a highly defined work share agreement. However, the project was plagued by serious delays and cost overruns during its development, only entering service in 2002. It was originally conceived in the early 1980s to provide West European states with a new air superiority fighter. The Eurofighter Typhoon is a multinational fighter program between the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain and Italy. Provided that the F-35 will be able to solve all its problems, and that the raising costs will not lead to a death spiral of order cuts, both the British RAFВ and the Italian Air ForceВ will be equipped with both the JSF and the Typhoon.Analyzing the pros and cons of two contenders vying for the title of Canada's next generation fighter. it is in the facts that while the Typhoon can do most of the F-35 air-to-ground mission, vice versa t he F-35 remains way far from a true swing role capability, and not even talking of regulating the skies. Last, the F-35 is capable of supersonic carriage of bombs in the bomb bay, but the fuel penalty becomes almost unaffordable, while delivery is limited to subsonic speeds by the armament itself as is for the Typhoon. The Typhoon will continue to accelerate supersonic with an impressive steady pull, giving more range to its BVR (Beyond Visual Range) armament.ДЄngle-of-attack is remarkably high in the F-35, as it is for all the twin tailed aircraft, but of course it can not be exploited in the supersonic regime, where the limiting load factor is achieved at low values of AoA.ДЄlso in the subsonic regime, the angle-of-attack itself doesnвЂ™t mean that much, especially if past a modest 12В° AoA you are literally going to fall of the sky! Excessive energy bleeding rates would operationally limit the F-35 well before its ultimate AoA is reached.Д®urofighter superb engine-airframe matching, in combination with itвЂ™s High Off-Bore-Sight armament supported by Helmet Cueing, has already and consistently proven winning against any agile fighter. That means that immediately after the transonic regime, the F-35 would stop accelerating and struggle forever to reach a non operationally suitable Mach 1.6. Transonic acceleration is excellent in the F-35, as it is for the Typhoon and better than in an F/A-18 or F-16, but mainly due to its low drag characteristics than to its powerplant. The F-35 thrust to weight ratio is way lower and its energy-maneuverability diagrams match those of the F/A-18, which is an excellent result for a single engine aircraft loaded with several thousand pounds of fuel and significant armament.Д«ut it also means that starting from medium altitude and above, there is no story with a similarly loaded Typhoon. And in that nothing comes close to a Typhoon, except an F-22 which has very similar values. However, when time comes for air dominance, some other ingredients like thrust to weight ratio and wing loading tend to regulate the sky. No doubt the F-35 will be, when available, a very capable aircraft: its stealth design, extended range, internal carriage of stores and a variety of integrated sensors are definitely the ingredients for success in modern air-to-ground operations.
