As topic states, which fighter would prevail in BVR combat?
Concerning the F3 Rafale and Tranche 3 Eurofighter; they both have similar capabilities and can both carry similar weapons like Meteor, and both will be upgraded with AESA radars. And the Rafale F3 will get the M88-3 engines, which will be more powerful then its existing engines.

So which would come out victorious?

BTW, sites like this overrate the Eurofighter just to promote their aircraft

Well if both get AMSAR and Meteor I guess it comes down to a airframe and engine debate, stealth vs. supersonic performance.

Is Rafale stealthier? will it detect and engage first?

Is Typhoon better supersonically? can it give more energy to its missiles giving them better performance and a bigger no escape zone?
Can it get into and out of the fight quicker than Rafale?

Then it’s a matter of who’s got the best countermeasures?

I would say Typhoon would win 51% of the time:)

The Future Surface Combatant (FSC) program was cancelled, not the Trimaran concept, the Triton demostrator completed phase 1 of its trials but phase 2 were cancelled due to costs.

The Triton trimaran demostrator was put up for sale in March 2004.

The story of the FSC program, the pros and cons of trimarans and the Triton are very well covered here- http://frn.beedall.com/fsc.htm

Maybe Australia and Canada should get together with the USA on the FB-22 proposal, it seems like a more suitable design for these large countries.

The FB-22 looks similar to the Avro Arrow and has F-111 performance.

The F-117 was built using alot of off the shelf parts (undercarriage, engines etc) so, I wonder if it would be possible to fit Tornado and Typhoon parts and systems into a Replica fuselage.
