The EF2000 Typhoon is a European multinational twin-engine, supersonic, canard delta wing, multi-role fighter. This highly agile aircraft is designed to be an effective dogfighter in combat.

The Typhoon is a dual-engine, loosely coupled delta canard tailless design, featuring a 53-degree leading edge sweepback, relaxed stability and a digital fly-by-wire control system. It is a highly agile aircraft at all speeds, both subsonic and supersonic, achieved by having intentionally relaxed stability, combined canard and flaperon control surfaces, and a very low wing loading. The quadruplex digital fly-by-wire control system manages the inherent instability, allowing better manoeuvrability than direct pilot control. It is described as ‘carefree’ and prevents the permitted manoeuvre envelope being exceeded.

Roll control is primarily achieved by differential use of the flaperons. Pitch control is by coupled operation of the canards and flaperons. The wing leading edges are fitted with automatic movable slats. A single large rudder provides yaw control. Engines are fed by a chin double intake ramp situated below a splitter plate.

A hydraulically operated air-brake is integrated behind the cockpit, moving into a near-vertical position to maximise drag when required.

The Typhoon uses lightweight construction (82% composites consisting of 70% carbon fibre composite materials and 12% glass fibre reinforced composites) as well as aluminium lithium and titanium components on leading edge surfaces. The airframe has an estimated lifespan of 6,000 flying hours.
