On page 82 of the Septemper issue of Jane’s Internaitonal Defence Review:
“The Typhoon has a simple, wide-track main landing gear, but unlike the Rafale it does not have a high-capacity central stores station, and the inner-wing stations are limited because stores have to clear the landing gear. That issue has escaped some of Eurofighter’s publicity artists, who have produced widely used graphics that show the fighter carrying weapons that would clearly block the movement of the gear.”
Isn’t this the bogus graphic Jane’s is talking about? If you see a bigger version of this graphic image on any recent Air Forces Monthly, the tails of two laser-guided bombs are directly under the landing gear covers.
