SOUTHPORT AIRSHOW 2015: THE TYPHOON


The Typhoon, also known as the Eurofighter has become quite a crowd puller at airshows, since it's introduction in 2003.



It's described as an air superiority fighter providing the RAF with a multi-role combat aircraft. It's twin engines give it speeds of up to Mach 1.8.(approx. 1550 mph)



It's a great looking aircraft, and in my opinion it's futuristic canard-delta wing design wouldn't look out of place in any Gerry Anderson sci-fi series.



Even cruising at a respectable 700mph at the airshow it still manages to create vapour trails across it's fuselage.
