Forum for knowledge about the work of the Armed Forces of Spain in all fields is encouraged. From his history school of informatics and his actions in combat, as his performance in the different International Missions. Also, information on the different bodies and arms for wider dissemination of what they publish are and how they actually work, men and women of our hosts.
Before arriving revolutionary and futuristic designs eighth, ninth or tenth generation of stellar -more own sagas like "Star Trek" that airspace reais for this century just begun and has not yet reached his majority, our Air Force have an "international" apparatus and quite "made in Spain": the Eurofighter Typhoon.
"It's been several years since on an autumn morning, the official presentation of the first prototype school of informatics in Spain DA-6 was made. At that time we had the opportunity to watch it fly for the first time, at the controls of EADS CASA test pilot Alfonso de Miguel. The day concluded with a past in formation led by the aircraft itself and the Eagle Patrol equipped with the C-101. It was not a coincidence: both are built in the same facilities, a quarter century separated from each other ... Years later, nineteen aircraft carry the Spanish Rosette also distinctive that certifies them as belonging to Ala 11, a flagship unit in our Aviation. Fly daily and begin to participate in national exercises "(Angel Vegas Muñoz:" The Eurofighter in Spain ").
The Eurofighter Typhoon is a multipurpose fighter, twin-engine, high maneuverability, designed and built by a consortium of European companies Eurofighter, created in 1983 and composed of EADS, BAE Systems and Alenia Aeronautica companies. It made its first flight on March 27, 1994, entering school of informatics service school of informatics on April 8, 2003 in Germany. school of informatics Its design with delta-wing cantilever configuration resembles that of other modern fighter aircraft such as the Dassault school of informatics Rafale French school of informatics and Swedish school of informatics Saab Gripen 39. It was designed thinking that its combination school of informatics of agility, stealth capabilities and advanced aviation systems categorize it as one of the best fighters in service today.
Series production of the Eurofighter Typhoon has been divided into three phases (or Tranches), with a gradual increase in the capabilities of the airplane in each. It is in service school of informatics with the Royal Air Force, the German Luftwaffe, the Italian Air Force, the Air Force of Spain and the Austrian Air Force. Saudi Arabia signed a contract worth 6,400 million euros for 72 aircraft.
The project was initiated by a technical requirement school of informatics of various countries school of informatics to replace SEPECAT Jaguar, school of informatics Panavia Tornado, McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II, Lockheed school of informatics F-104 Starfighter and Dassault Mirage F1 in various air forces school of informatics in Europe. The trigger for the emergence of this new fighter was, among others, information was received about the new Soviet prototypes and RAM RAM-K-L, which later became known as Su-27 Flanker and MiG-29 Fulcrum. The plane was designed taking into account the technical requirements school of informatics of the air forces of some NATO members such as Germany, France and the UK. However, the French air force soon abandoned the project when wanting school of informatics to build an aircraft to measure where Dassault lead the design and the other partners were limited to jointly fund the project, in addition, the Armée of Air did not agree with designs like TFK -90 or P110.B, where the Eurofighter is based, preferring a slightly smaller and Vehicle Mount plane, so France school of informatics abandoned the project of European aircraft to create their own game, the ACX (short for Avion de Combat Expérimental), which later became known as Rafale A.
Thus, in 1982 the ACA (Agile Combat Aircraft) program in Italy, Germany and the UK appeared as partners was presented. We attempted school of informatics to make a program for a technology demonstrator called EAP (Experimental Aircraft Programme), but the British government financed it and eventually I had to be the BAe own (British Aerospace) which funded the project, building school of informatics parts like the tail section Tornado and RB199 engines. The EAP first flew in 1986 and was an immediate success. There were some voices who wanted the same plane went into service in the RAF, but the development of more conservative Tornado F.Mk3 stopped funding the project. However, Germany also developed at that time the X-31 with the US company Rockwell to have ACA applicable to future technologies, even the newest, 3D swiveling nozzle thereof is not equipped the Eurofighter, at least at first momen
