I was talking from an aerodynamic point of view.

If Typhoon is the best of what Bae could do in 1994 😮 😮 😮

12 years from first flight to SQD service is not that bad for an aircraft that is up there with the best of them, what part of the EAP was used on Typhoon
from an Aerodynamic point of view, answer none. Now Rafale is an aircraft that has been around since 1986. I rather liked the Mirage 4000 myself 🙂
Pic Rafale farn 86

About a direct comparison of Rafale/Typhoon and F-35, don’t forget that the two first flew the first time near 1986.

WRONG. Britains EAP and French Rafale flew in 1986, EAP was NOTHING MORE than a Technology Demonstrator and NOT some kind of pre-prototype, as stated in volume 35 of “World Air Power Journal” page 62. The first flight of Typhoon was in 1994. Hope this clears a few things up 😀
