Der Eurofighter EF 2000 ist ein Mehrzweckkampfflugzeug, das von Deutschland, Italien, Spanien und Großbritannien in Gemeinschaftsproduktion entwickelt wurde.

 Eurofighter Typhoon PC Video Game Review by AceGamez   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Set in the present day, the fate of the world revolves around a conflict in Iceland initiated by the red armies of Mother Russia and your squadron of six pilots and their aircraft will mean the difference between freedom and peace, or a steady diet of vodka and borscht for the next couple of decades.
Eurofighter Typhoon is set apart from other flight simulators by the use of an interesting real time concept in the gameplay.
Eurofighter Typhoon is not a hugely advanced flight sim so don't expect amazing reality and in-your-face flight physics, but it is fun to pilot and for the most part the missions are varied and enjoyable.

 EFA-2000 Eurofighter
Eurofighter is a single-seat, twin-engine, agile combat aircraft which will be used in the air-to-air, air-to-ground and tactical reconnaissance roles.

Eurofighter’s high performance is matched by excellent all round vision and by sophisticated attack, identification and defence systems which include the ECR 90 long range radar and Infra Red Search and Track (IRST) system, advanced medium and short range air-to-air missiles and a comprehensive electronic warfare suite to enhance weapon system effectiveness and survivability.

They say Eurofighter can be released to RAF service, but only subject to severe restrictions and only once the safety issues they have exposed are investigated.
In the report, Qinetiq says it has found three "key issues" on the Eurofighter which it considers to be "extremely significant with regard to aircraft safety" and "unacceptable for release to service".
Eurofighter is supposed to be equipped with a much-delayed system to prevent this, but until it is ready, Qinetiq says, each aircraft must be operated by two qualified pilots whenever flying "dynamic manoeuvres" such as those used in combat.

 Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | But the Russians aren't coming
At first glance, it looked quite a pleasant task: the sun was shining, the Eurofighter was gleaming, and the people queueing, who wore T-shirts with missiles on them and held carrier bags advertising the Daily Mail, did not seem likely opponents of the military-industrial complex.
Yet the Eurofighter was devised in a very different era: when massed formations of Russian aircraft were anticipated by western military planners as an accompaniment to an invasion of Europe.
As Andy Wishart, a senior engineer and Eurofighter veteran, put it last week: "The waters have never been smooth, shall we say." Almost in passing, he mentions that there are still "minor technical problems".
