Experience the Power and Manoeuvrability of Eurofighter Typhoon

[@tobygeorgeharribo]

I love the subtle redirections when asked something that can’t be disclosed eg redirecting from max fuel to loadout options Props to the Pilot for being able to seemlessy do that again and again, avoiding any jarring breaks or pauses

Dayum my boy Bismark flying in all the jets! So happy to see how far you have come every time :)

Thank you, it's a pleasure to make this content :)

He is THE SHI*! Makes me smile and cry at the same time.

[@heneagedundas]

I remember 20 years ago being at RIAT as part of the National Army Museum display (showing an RFC squadron on the ground, not flying!), and having a Typhoon pilot practicing overhead while we waited to be bussed from barracks to the display area. It was the first time I'd seen one flying close up, and was blown away by the agility and power of that thing.

[@lohikarhu734]

Great video, both parts, nice amount of technical discussion with just slipping past the "sensitive" items.

[@Flanker-NineZero]

Such a beautiful bird. Surely one of the more aesthetically pleasing jet-powered planes we've seen. I'd probably say the Eurofighter, the P52, the Spitfire, and the Tomcat get my vote as the most beautiful planes ever made. The Su27 also has certain kind of acquired taste about its aesthetic; didn't like it to begin with but she's definitely grown on me.

[@MrMekakoopa]

I love Su's, although they are rather large. Su-37 looked amazing though

[@wkelly3053]

Thanks for the brief technical description during the walk around. I’m always impressed by the precise fit and integration of parts on these airplanes. Like a Swiss watch.

[@hemaka482]

That was just amazing. View from the cockpit and walkthrough of all the figures by the pilot himself, wow. Just wow! Thanks guys so much.

[@SkyhawkSteve]

Lots of fun! I enjoyed the overview of the aircraft, as well as the flight demo. The in-cockpit view is always fun, and hints at how disorienting it would be! Very cool! All we need is actual cockpit audio, so we can hear all of the grunts as he pulls the G's. 😁

[@lohikarhu734]

Talking about the mountains in Schweiz... When running fast on a snowmobile in the mountains in Finland, we watch out for "black snow", and I guess that in the Typhoon, in Schweiz, you watch out for the "grey sky"

What kind of G's do you all ;) ?

[@jacobbaumgardner3406]

I remember reading something from a guy who flew Jaguars, Hornets, Eagles, and Typhoons, and he said the Typhoon was the only one you didn’t need an accelerometer for to tell the difference.

[@ChristianSamsel]

The walk around was very interesting. Seeing all the components in detail. A lot better the usual videos about the plane

[@OnkelMotu]

I had no idea that "the cheese" is so important when flying. :D

[@sebastianp.48]

yeah, apparently having a strong stomach is somewhat of a requirement for a pilot. just imagine having nine cheese while doing a turn!

[@ovaloffice6869]

Massive respect for Noble and all pilot who serves for us. Love the Tornado but the Eufighter is the better Aircraft and this pilots damn :)

[@the_bunse]

The Eurofighter really is under rated, it is so manoeuvrable I pity anyone flying against it with a trained pilot.

[@85daniel]

Don't think it's underated. In an air dominition comparisson ranking of the US Air Force in the past it was ranked on the second place behind the F-22

[@RichelieuUnlimited]

The Eurofighter is supposedly being outperformed by Rafale and F-22 at low speeds in BFM due to the FCS limiting its maximum AOA and thus lift. Something about roll stability issues at high AOA that are to be fixed with the AMK upgrade. In IRL BVR it would probably give even the Raptor quite a headache due to its kinematic abilities and countermeasures eating through all the F-22‘s BVRAAMs.

[@CheeseCakeLova]

What did Noble mean about the Typhoon‘s longitudinal axis and how does it make different to fly? Excellent video btw

[@joshafc41]

The Typhoon is the most unstable aircraft ever produced in a roll you'll notice that unlike other aircraft the Typhoon does not remain stable along its longitudinal axis. He was probably referring to this.

[@TurtleOverdose]

I was there as crew on the flightline. I wish I saw you when you were there. Would have loved to have a chat

[@timoadler6356]

I wonder what the Displaypilots do while not flying. Do they sit together in beach chairs, water and fries at hand and watch the running displays, pointing out hickups or specialties in each display or are they busy playing minecraft or what?

[@JR-ut2ne]

I was quite surprised when he mentioned that the Tranche 2 radar doesn’t have any ground attack capabilities. I thought it would at least have some kind of ground mapping function. Anyways great video as always and a really cool display.

[@markus1351]

Well the Bundeswehr has a specialist plane for that in the Tornado

[@joshafc41]

German Typhoons are the least advanced of all the partner nations. Perhaps there are some features they don't have when it comes to air to ground or maybe he was referring to something specific like terrain following that Typhoons don't do in general. The typhoon infact does have SAR which is used for ground mapping and can be used to guide bombs. Maybe German Typhoons don't have this? Who knows.

[@JR-ut2ne]

@@markus1351 True but the Eurofighter is used in the ground attack role as well so it would be a useful feature.

[@JR-ut2ne]

@@joshafc41 I believe the only thing the German Eurofighters lack compared to the UK, Spain or Italy is the Pirate IRST. Apart from that they‘re pretty much identical. The radar should be the same.

[@joshafc41]

@@JR-ut2ne The German Typhoons are missing the pirate sensor but also have a completely different DASS system using different less advanced sensors that are not integrated with eachother and I'd assume don't benefit from sensor fusion. The German aircrafts were also quite far behind in terms of their software compared to the RAF. Since the RAF were replacing their Tornados with Typhoons and pressed on with the phased enhancement program alone. The newer versions will also have a less advanced AESA radar than their British and Italian counter parts. Which I find a little strange since Germany wants electronic warfare dedicated Typhoons and the new MK2 radar does exactly that while the one Germany is developing does not.

[@leighcoulson2148]

[@ernestlmorellsr]

The host should be the pilot seems like he was telling the pilot about all the parts of the outside of the plane 😅. Respect for the mountains because the mountains never forgets 😅😅

[@RandomDeforge]

could you also upload the B roll of flight with the original audio ?

[@MilitaryAviationHistory]

I was thinking of it but to give you an idea of what it sounds the whole time: BRWSUUUUUSHSSHSHHHWSSSSSHHHHSCHSSHHAHHW It really doesn't sound anything like from the crowd stand.

[@timbilke9361]

Nice

[@babalonkie]

We British call it Eurofighter Typhoon, Eurofighter, Typhoon or simply ET... 😁 These baby's need their TVC and AMK upgrades...

[@RichelieuUnlimited]

AMK has been consistently shown on mockups and renderings of the Tranche 5, Eurofighter EK and the Halcon II for the past couple of years and is mentioned by the Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug GmbH on their website to be part of the P4E, so fingers crossed on it coming relatively soon. ITP Aero has also shown an EJ200 with a new more refined version of the TVC nozzle it is developing for the NGF of FCAS at last year’s FEINDEF, so we might also eventually see it on Eurofighters at some point.

[@JR-ut2ne]

Not really. Sure those upgrades would make the airshow better but it would add no benefit in a combat scenario. It’s much more important that they‘ll get the AESA update on the Tranche 2 and 3 and more Meteor missiles.

[@RichelieuUnlimited]

@@JR-ut2ne AMK is intended for increasing max permissible weapons load and asymmetric stores and TVC is mostly important for added fuel efficiency at supercruise.

[@JR-ut2ne]

@@RichelieuUnlimited From my understanding both AMK and TVC are meant primarily for increased maneuverability. If AMK brings a higher weapons load and more asymmetric stores then it makes a lot more sense. Regarding TVC I think it remains questionable whether the added efficiency will offset the increased maintenance requirements. Would be interesting to see both on production examples.

[@babalonkie]

@@JR-ut2ne "Would be interesting to see both on production examples." My point in it's entirety 😁

[@bobbybroadway9513]

So...if the pilot passes out from the g-forces...does the plane automatically know this and have some way to wake him up?

[@itsgibbinz9781]

I am British Iv never heard it called the typhoon singularly. We still say the Euro fighter typhoon.

[@mikewindsor5759]

I'm British too, and while not bmoving much in military circles, those people who do know it mostly refer to it in my earshot as the Typhoon. Likely because, in context the only other airctraft likely to feature in the conversation will have very different names, although in a military history conversation, it's likely people will want to use the full name to avoid confusion with the WWII aircraft.

[@TheNapalmFTW]

Tiffie or Typhoon.

[@robsinger973]

Can anyone tell me what the pilot called the sensors in front of the canards? (sounded like ADTs) 5:02 - 5:10 . Excuse my ignorance and Thanks.

[@MilitaryAviationHistory]

Air Data Transducer :)

[@GermanAviationguy]

I was there

[@tomlobos2871]

i still wonder why the eurofighter is so undervalued in public opinions. maybe because there is no competing concept in mid-size multirole fighters. everything else is lighter or heavier. would concider the rafale in that class but it's naval bias'd.

What was fuzzed out in behind the canard ? If this aircraft was in the display then anyone with a good camera can see whatever it was 🤔

[@TheChosenOne_]

Most likely an opened hatch. Ideally not visible during flight

[@user-eo2sg2db3n]

Yes that's strange. You could have only seen inside the bay where the ladder is stored. According to such internet pictures, there might be some computers visible. Maybe they blurred more than needed. The maintenance panel at the wing root was also blurred. You can also find some pictures of it if you search for Eurofighter MDP.

[@over-cn7qw]

[@KyriakosDeTravlo]

Which versions or countries that operate the eurofighter have the PIRATE ?

UK and IT for sure have the irst installed on Tr3 and I think retrofitted on Tr2 as well

[@KyriakosDeTravlo]

@mattfgln Thanks. I'm a little confused coz I've seen some with it and some without like the Saudis (with) and the Germans (without)

[@mattfgln]

@@KyriakosDeTravlo i believe it depends mostly on the production tranche. Pretty sure the new Tr4 bought by Germany will have the irst

[@thbovjbe3677]

Is this display video speed up?

[@196cupcake]

4:26 I can't figure out what needs to be blurred in the center of the screen. My guess is that it was accidentally left there.

[@markus1351]

Probably some opened panel, I heard the Bundeswehr doesn't want any working screens of aircraft to be shown, there might be one they really really don't want us to see, so they make the rule to not show any so that speculations are useless.

[@discordia013]

Open maintenance panels

It's a rarely used weapon, it being covered is more aerodynamic and lighter than an open/close port. It's designed to just be shot through and replaced if needed.

​@@HolyNorthAmericanEmpire the F15 has other advantages, like better flight stability and top speed, as it incorporated some of the interceptor elements required at that time. For the rest yeah F15 on steroids, 13 weapon stations (4 fixed for meteor, 2 for IRIS-T, 3 variable ones with fuel connections, 4 normal pylons) What it has over the F15 is insane maneuverability and a crazy defensive suite... I mean what other tiny jet you know has electronic countermeasures, a towed decoy + flares and chaff and on top the maneuverability to beat missiles kinematically.
