TMor, the typhoon takes off in 12 seconds, you can use the little video timer at the bottom to accurately see (from brakes off). Also it does accelerate with a o.k climb angle, the runway being tilted on a small hill hides this. Then climbs ABSOLUTELY VERTICAL . And the cloud base seems not low at all. I have found a nice video for you;

The rafale takes off in 17 seconds, with a similar loudout, and certainly does not go straight up into the vertical after takeoff. I admit he does not accelerate down the runway as much as the typhoon, 😉 but the typhoon seems a hell of alot more impressive 😀

What I meant by rival planes is on QRA. Such as F-15’s or Rafale’s or F-16’s, can they get to the Interception as fast as the typhoon? What I am basically saying is this plane the new LIGHTNING in QRA.:D

Impressive video too
😀

Hi all

Anyone know the climb rate of the typhoon, or any time to height recordings. Just watched a video;

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hhE07FHV1MM

Really is very impressive. 😮 The fact that it’s carrying 2 tanks, 2 ASRAAM, and 4 AMRAAM and still can point straight up I believe is remarkable. Brings me to the question in QRA status, does it have a T/W ratio of greater than 1 to 1, when loaded with the standard QRA loadout? Also can any other fighter match this type of performance, not only when clean but loaded aswell?

will 😎

😮 😮

Impressive.
Great Typhoon!!!!

How many QRA fighters base are there in Uk, Spain or France?
How long was the runaway?

I believe this video is dedicated to whom that doesn’t trust the Typhoon
potentiality or gelous rivals planes 😀

It will be easy to fit a ski-jump in the future.

Look here, the Hyuga and the Garibaldi seems to be sistership…

Officially it’s a “helicopter destroyer”, maybe refered to as a “through-deck” variant.

But to be quite honest I’m not sure they have to try to sell it as anything in particular. The public isn’t that opposed to projects like this. If Japan started building 40,000+ tonne aircraft carriers that might cause real opposition. But a helicopter carrier? Not from what I’ve heard from my friends there.

Officially also the actual italian aircraft carrier in 1984 was launched as ‘helicopter destroyer ASW’. Late soon in 1990 appearad the last (18th) AV8B+ in MMI and removing missiles GG became officially ITS CVS (CV Stovl) ‘Giuseppe Garibaldi’ (C551).
May be tha Japanese are the same path…
😉 .

The problem is to find a suitable aircrafts. New generation aircrafts are heavier than the old one. So the new aircrafts need more capable catapults like the new 90mt (lenght).
They are more expensive to operate with catapults, steam production and arresting gears.
For modern aircrafts (F18/F35C/E2D) a carrier like CdG is the minimum. It’s not a case if the angled deck of CdG has been prolonged of 4 mt to opearate the E2C.
Due to electronic equipment and military standards, both necessary if a navy wants to have a strong and secure warship that it’s planned to stay 30 years in service and in war zone capable to protect the crew and the airwing, the final costs of Cavour it’s been 1.5 bilions € 😮 😮
A Cavour or something similar to a carrier of 30000 tons (I suppose 250×45 mt) with angled deck, catapults and arresting gear will be very expensive and not enough cost/effective.
So the minimum will be something as the new indian IDS or CdG.

The italian navy will do the same?

Is the photo of the EF-2000 Typhoon intercepting the Russian BEAR for real, or is it Photoshop?

The reason that I ask, is due to the fact that the so-called ‘Russian BEAR still has the old Soviet red star on its tail?

According to Wiki, TU-95 Bear will be in duty til 2040…..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu-95

Maiden flight November 12, 1952
Introduced 1956
The Tu-95 is still in service, as of 2007, and expected to remain so with the Russian Air Force until at least 2040.
