Dassault Rafale vs Eurofighter Typhoon: A 2023 comparison

When it comes to the world of military aircraft, there are two big players: Eurofighter and Dassault. Both companies have produced some of the best-known fighter jets in history, but which one is better? This article will compare the Eurofighter Typhoon with the Dassault Rafale and see who comes out on top. Dassault Aviation’s Rafale is a twin-jet fighter plane capable of both short- and long-range operations. It can be used for spying, pinpoint strikes, assaults on land and sea, and even as a deterrent against nuclear attacks. The aircraft was designed for use by the French Navy and French Air Force. The Eurofighter Typhoon is a twin-engine, multi-role fighter developed jointly by the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, and Spain. The Eurofighter first flew in 1994, and it entered service with the RAF in 2003. The Eurofighter is designed to perform air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. It is equipped with a variety of sensors and weapons, including air-to-air missiles, air-to-surface missiles, and precision-guided bombs.

For the Rafale, it's design to be use as well on aircraft carrier and it's the only Nato fighter jet that can land on an US carrier. Another point, it's made for deep nuclear strike from the beginning for the French nuclear doctrine. As for dog fight, trying to do that at high altitude its suicidal in actual warfare, the rafale is more suited as most dog fight will be at low altitude and need better maneuverability

[@dutchtravelsociety352]

I think that the nato planes like F18 and F35 are also able to land on US carriers. But outside US planes this might be the only plane currently produced by a nato country capable to land on a US carrier.

1:18 The Eurofighter was *not* meant to be a replacement for the Tornado. On the contrary, it was meant to complement UK/Germany/Italy's Tornados A/G performance with A/A capabilities. (And on the other side, France had a very capable A/A platform in the Mirage 2000 and wanted more A/G.) 2:15 Other commentators have already noted that your Rafale export list is seriously outdated. 3:00 These cost figures are fanciful at best (read: bullshit). The Eurofighter is definitely not 25% cheaper than the Rafale. RUSI's Justin Bronk estimates the Rafale to be slightly cheaper than the Eurofighter in real-world terms. 3:45 Bullshit again. Both Rafale and Eurofighter are so-called tailless deltas, in that the pitch control surfaces are integrated in the trailing edge of the wing and not in separate control surfaces. In no way were either of those designed without a vertical plane beyond the earliest concept stages (I do believe one of the Dassault ACX models had no vertical plane... but some had two). 6:00 Should be noted that SCALP and Storm Shadow are the same weapon. 7:50 Both EJ2000 and M88 are afterburning turbofans. And the Rafale's service ceiling is definitely higher than 42kft. 8:25 Both Rafale and EF *can* have AESA radars, with similar capabilities. It should be noted that all Rafales can be brought up to the latest standard with RBE2, while not all EF tranches can be equipped with Captor-E. 8:30 EF and Rafale come from the same development programme, that EF's first flight happened later (due to longer development) doesn't make it a newer aircraft, especially since both have been continuously developped in the past 30 years. 8:35 "Rafale is more agile"? Only at lower altitudes, not a general truth. 9:00 EF burns *a lot* more fuel than Rafale in most flight profiles. Since it doesn't carry more fuel, I am curious how it is a better choice for long-range missions.

[@enzofragante171]

One of the dilemmas the European nations had when designing the European fighter jet was also the air intakes. France argued that having them separated by putting them on each side of the fuselage would increase survivability. However, the other nations disagreed and didn’t think it mattered which is why you can see on the typhoon both intakes are stuck together under the fuselage. If debris were to get in it or say cannon rounds were to hit it. The typhoon would most likely be disabled. The rafale would have a standing chance in that matter.

[@NATObait]

The position of the intakes are always a calculated risk. Having intakes on the sides will indeed mitigate the failure of both engines to a degree but not having variable intakes will also be a risk as the service ceiling on Rafale is 52,000 ft v EF 65,000ft and weapons like Meteor have increased range due to inertia/ gravity. Also pulling high g turns causes less airflow into the outside engine intake on the Rafale compared to the EFT. We are now seeing the growth of ' Glide Weapons ' and launch from height is fundamental and ranges of 100+ miles is achievable with cost advantage over powered versions. Speed is your friend, height is your friend......a basic fact taught to all novice pilots.

[@FinsburyPhil]

The major difference between these aircraft isn't a 'top trumps' comparison - it's in their design philosophy. The Rafale was designed primarily for agility, lower altitude performance and strike. The Typhoon was designed primarily for raw power, high altitude performance and air-to-air interception. But the venn diagram of their capabilities is very overlapping - they are both highly capable multi-role aircraft and the more they develop, they closer they become.

[@NATObait]

Rafale was designed with fixed air intakes hence it has height limitations. It also was designed with close coupled canards for low speed deck landings. Eurofighter was designed to give good Transonic agility and more powerful engines to offer better acceleration and has variable intakes to allow height advantage. Hence both designs have compromise built in. It must not be forgotten that Dassault wanted a cheaper option for better export potential.

[@Hot_guy267]

Not fully true. Rafales have not that altitude limitations in real life. Its a lot better. Remember, it is chosen by Indian Air Force for its tremendous performance in the highest battle ground (over the Himalayan mountains) of the world.

[@NATObait]

@@Hot_guy267 Himalayan Mountains are all under 30,000 ft hence way lower than a Boeing 737 climbs to for its local hop, hence flying above that height is nothing special, Rafale can zoom climb above its normal operational ceiling but it can't cruise above that . Eurofighter has variable intakes so it can ' cruise ' at a higher altitude. It maybe a useful or insignificant ability but a difference non the less.

[@NATObait]

The Rafale was designed from the back of an envelope to fulfill key parameters. 1. Both Carrier Capable and Conventional 2. Capable of dropping a Nuclear Bomb 3. Commercially affordable to typical market customers. It sounds simple but that is the basis for the design. The Rafale always had to have low speed ability to land on a Medium sized Carrier, the other two desires could be achieved from the first fundamental position. The Rafale has close coupled canards to maintain lift at carrier landing speeds and less swept wings for the same reason, but that gives it the ability to lift more weapons weight than Eurofighter can .

The Rafale designation pod is now the Talios, a largely upgraded equipment. Typhoons use Meteor and IRIS-T missiles beside US-made missiles. Prices should not be compared because they can vary widely. Overall, Typhoons are better air superiority aircrafts, that's what they were designed for initially. Rafale is better at air to ground missions, particularly the two-seater version. But both are very competent multirole and can do both air to air and air to ground missions. Where Rafale has an edge is in overall maintenance and availability; this is a trademark of Dassault aircrafts and this has been particularly optimised with the Rafale; Eurofighter was developed by several companies and countries, so it is more complicated (and more costly) to maintain. An additional advantage for the Rafale is that it will be continuously upgraded for at least the next 30 years, so countries using it are sure to have their planes maintained and upgraded if they wish so. The future of the Eurofighter is not so clear.

@@aimgorge Regarding radar, the answer is a bit more complex. Right now, only one third of the French Rafale are equipped with the AESA radar. Export variants of the Eurofighter have the first version of the captor E AESA radar, and new versions are in development for Germany/Spain and the UK. stealth are roughly equivalent in combat configuration (planes don't usually fly clean...). The Eurofighter edge in air superiority is linked to its better speed at high altitude (hence it can launch missiles with a faster start, and thus a better killing range) and superior air to air load-out. It is important to compare equivalent version too, but if you do so, because the Eurofighter was conceived for that role, it probably still is a better air superiority fighter, but not by much I agree.

The French are more likely to be independent of American pressure (many components and BAe is heavily integrated with American defence interests), not to mention Germany's propensity to tie itself in knots when it comes to supplying arms

The Eurofighter can also fire Meteor missiles so its bvr capabilities are close to the Rafale. At their debuts, both aircrafts were very different, Rafale was an omnirole fighter and Typhoon was an air superiority. But now both have very close capabilities. The Typhoon has become more versatile, and the Rafale has now advance air superiority capabilities and will soon replace the Mirage 2000 in this type of mission in the french air force.

Rafale's way more advanced radar allows to do work better with METEOR than Eurofighter's outdated radar. Rafale is way better in multirole, since it can be used on NATO carriers and made for nuclear deterrence.

The SCALP-EG long range missile and the Storm-Shadow long range missile is the same weapon with different names for the French Air-force and the Royal Air-force respectedly. You failed to mention the Taurus long range missile, that is operational with the German Air-force as well as with the Italian one ( carried by the Eurofighters of both countries ). Both aircraft are compatible with the advanced Meteor BVR missile. The main short range IR missile of Rafale-F3R is the MICA-IR. There is also a radar-guided ( for the initial stage of its flight ) version, with active-radar capabilities MICA-EM ( electro-magnetique ). The main short range IR missile of the Eurofighter-Typhoons is the IRIS-T off-line-of-sight missile and not the Sidewinders. CAPTOR-E radar is also an AESA technology radar same as the RBE-2AA.

Furthermore, with additional wing pods at stations 1 and 9, it possesses the capability to carry an enormous weapon payload to the war zone, akin to having R2D2 in the back seat. There are endless technologies embedded into the F15 that may be better than the F35 or the next 6Gen.

Any perceived turn rate advantage the Rafale had has been matched or bettered by the 2015 Aerodynamic Modification Kit that gave Typhoon 15% more nose authority and wing lift with no cost to drag but given the weapons onboard Rafale or Typhoon if you find yourself in a dogfight - something has goon horribly wrong! As for the Rafale having cheaper to maintain engines - Typhoon engines are regularly doubling their expected MTBF in service prompting Rolls Royce to offer customers a significant uplift in thrust (via a software update) with no increased maintenance. The Rafale's RADAR is currently a better multitasker (although with a limited field of view due to the small nose) but Typhoon's is better at long-range search and track. The ISRT system on Typhoon is also superior. It's interesting that the video lists Typhoon as having AMRAAM and Sidewinder as primary weapons! Eurofighter customers generally use superior ASRAAM, IRIS-T or Meteor along with old stocks of AMRAAM. The carrier capability of Rafale is a strong point - however that's also what steered engine development towards low altitude efficiency and performance over outright fighter like characteristics of Typhoon's engines. Tranche 4 onwards Typhoon also has a sophisticated EW capabilities.

That's an old version of Rafale. Eurofighter is today considered way more expensive, in the 200m range. Also you are saying Rafale has better radar, range, electronic and weaponry but you declare Eurofighter superior for air-air... Wtf?? You didn't talk how Rafale being the only real bi-engine as Eurofighter shares the same intake

[@LondonSteveLee]

"Better" RADAR on Rafale? Yes and no. The RADAR return digital signal processing of Typhoon is known to be world class - possibly the best of any fighter sized aircraft - it is superb at picking out tiny RADAR signatures at extreme gain levels. For these reasons and regardless of RCS (which are totally unknown respectively) I'd expect Typhoon to acquire a lock on Rafale 10-20 NMs before Rafale can lock it - and of course in a passive search/fight Typhoon has a better IRST system. In high power search modes, Rafale has all the usual TX/RX element overheating issues that plague early (non GaN) AESA RADARs in fighter configurations cutting effective search range significantly as the RADAR drops into its various cooling strategies. This is why the Typhoon project delayed its AESA programme for so long - they couldn't get anywhere near CAPTOR-M for long-range search and track performance - which is a bit of an issue for an air-superiority fighter - so they held out until technology caught up. AESA - even flawed early implementations, made perfect sense for Rafale is it is primarily a multirole aircraft with focus on ground attack which AESA is imminently suited. Of course the other decisive factor for air-to-air engagements is Typhoon's (at least) 10,000 ft operating ceiling advantage giving its air to air weapons a significant uplift in ultimate range type for type. They are both superb aircraft and have plus and minuses over each other but essentially Typhoon is the better fighter and Rafale the better bomber. The carrier capability for Rafale is also a huge plus in its favour.

[@gdjaybee742]

Asking cause I don't know. Does the front wings make these planes more manurable than 5th gen planes like the F22 with vector thrust? If no, since the Russians were able to design vector thrusts on their 5th gen planes, can this tech be applied to the Rafale or the Euro typhoon in a 5 gen version of these planes? I could imagine these planes having stealth capability with stealth paint albeit, the missiles will not fit internally like how the US redesigned the F16ex or the F15ex because of the size of these planes..

[@Guillaume528]

The planes at the front are used to move the center of lift in front of the center of gravity which makes the aircraft unstable but very maneuvering, the instability being compensated by the on-board computer. The F22 compensates for its center of lift at the back of the center of gravity with a vector thrust and a very large depth rudder which allows it to have maximum authority and super maneuverability. I don't know if you saw the video of the dog fight between the Rafale and the F22 but we can clearly see that the lift center at the front of the center of mass helps a lot the Rafale against the F22

[@LondonSteveLee]

Typhoon has an at least 10,000 ft celling advantage over Rafale - the bypass ratio of Rafale's engines are optimised for immediate thrust at sea level due to carrier requirements. Typhoon was designed from the outset as an air-superiority fighter so the engine design is optimised for high speed and high altitudes. Sometimes you have to make design compromises and this is where the difference between the primary initial roles for the respective aircraft really shows. The French should really release a fighter optimised variant of the engines for nations that have no intention of operating off carriers. Of course this will complicate supply chain issues for operators of both variants and increase costs for the project as a whole.
