Two Eurofighter Typhoons Display at Dubai Air Show 2011

Just a few days after participating in a complex exercise in Al Dhafra, Abu Dhabi and with aircraft still in Malaysia for exercise BERSAMA LIMA 11, two Typhoon jets will appear at the 2011 Dubai Air Show 2011. At the event, where a Typhoon will be flying daily in the air display, Eurofighter will have a large pavilion to exhibit the latest technologies developed for the world’s most advanced multi-role combat aircraft.

The presence of the two jets at the most important air show in the region will be further proof of the excellent deployment capabilities of the Typhoon, already proven during Libyan operations when jets from the Royal Air Force and Italian Air Force redeployed to Southern Italy air bases to operate in support of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973.
The deployment in Libya has clearly defined the key functions of the aircraft, ranging from the vital task of air superiority, with the capability to engage multiple targets at long, medium or short range using AMRAAM, IRIS-T or ASRAAM missiles, to the newly established surface attack role, striking at long range with precision weapons. In addition, Typhoon delivered close air support to ground forces – including the supply of intelligence, a show of force and weapon attack.

Participation in the Libyan operations marked the combat debut of the Typhoon and the first time it has been used as a swing-role platform. Typhoon covered two vital roles over Libya that were previously discharged by two separate platforms.

The fact that the airframe is largely constructed of carbon fibre composites and light alloys to save weight – meaning it consumes less fuel and can carry more weapons was never more vital than on the five hour plus missions along the Libyan coastline and after six months of operations, Dubai Air Show 2011 is a perfect showcase for the Typhoon.

At the show, Eurofighter will display a selection of the range of capabilities for the Typhoon, including:
• The Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar which thanks to the large aircraft nose, allows for an optimised array with the addition of an innovative re-positioner to broaden the field of regard to more than 200 degrees, some 50% wider than traditional fixed plate AESA radar systems.
• The most advanced Helmet Mounted Symbology System (HMSS) which forms a key component of the Eurofighter Typhoon weapon system, improving tactical performance for Eurofighter pilots by providing essential flight and weapon aiming information through line of sight imagery.
• The Meteor missile - considered the “game changer” in terms of kill probability thanks to its dynamic performances, speed and range.
• The Marte anti-ship missile.
• The Thrust Vectoring Nozzle (TVN) for the Eurojet EJ200 engines.
These technological developments on the Typhoon open the door to industrial collaborations between local industries and the Eurofighter’s partner companies keen to develop the partnership with aerospace and high-tech companies in the growing technology and industrial base of the Gulf region.

Already in service with the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF), the Typhoon is considered the perfect “desert eagle”. The aircraft already demonstrates its full capabilities in the arid, hot and humid climate of the Gulf region. Thanks to its exceptional thrust-to-weight ratio, the Typhoon suffers less than other fighters in the difficult environmental conditions and is able to exploit at full its payload capability and range performances.

Totally interoperable with current and future Gulf and allied air forces assets, the Typhoon is the perfect coalition fighter to offer deterrence to the Gulf States today and in the future.

两架台风欧洲战斗机亮相2011迪拜空展

迪拜2011年 11月12日讯－参加阿布扎比阿达法拉复杂的演习数天及参加马来西亚LIMA 11航空展的两架台风欧洲战斗机将亮相2011迪拜航空展。在展览会期间，台风欧洲战斗机将每天都做飞行表演。即时，欧洲战斗机也将拥有规模最大的展览馆，展出专为这款多角色战机所设计的最先进战斗机科技。

两架战斗机亮相最重大空展进一步证明台风战斗机的布署能力。 这款战机已经在利比亚的行动中证明。当时利比亚皇家空军和意大利的空军被派到意大利南部空军基地支援1973联合国安理会决议案。

利比亚的部署清楚的突现该战斗的能力，从卓越的空军重要任务，到能够采用AMRAAM、IRIS－T或ASRAAM执行长程、中程和短程的多重任务；到新建立的新攻击角色，采用精准的武器攻击长程目标。此外，台风战机提供很靠近地面军队的支援－包括提供情报、展示军力和攻击武器。

参与利比亚行动是台风首次亮相，并且也是首次扮演多发作战角色。在利比亚，台风战机有两项重大的任务。之前，两项任务分别由两平台执行。

实际上，战斗机的机身绝大部份是以碳纤维混合物和轻合金原料制造，以减轻重量。同时，这意味着较少的燃油消耗及比之前能够运载更多的武器。这可从利比亚沿海五小时的任务及六个月的行动得知。2011迪拜空展是台风战斗机展示实力的最佳平台。
台风欧洲战斗机在展会上显示能力范围包括：

• 活力电子扫描阵列（AESA）雷达。由于大飞机头，加上创新
的重新定位扩大超过200度的优化阵列约50％，比传统的
AESA雷达系统更广的固定板。


• 最先进的头盔形式的战斗机武器系统组成台风欧洲战斗机的
重要部分，通过视线图像符号系统（HMSS），提供必要的
飞行和武器瞄准信息，从而提高战斗机飞行员的战术能力。

• 流星导弹－动态性能，速度和杀伤率的“游戏规则”表现。

• MARTE反战舰导弹。

• 专为Eurojet EJ200而设的推力矢量喷嘴（TVN）。

台风战斗机的技术为当地及欧洲战机伙伴公司的合作，特别是那些热衷于发展当地和海湾地区不断增长的技术和工业基楚的航空航天和高科技公司的合作伙伴关系，打开了合作关系伙伴之门。

早已经与沙地皇家空军（RSAF）服务的台风，被认为是完美的“沙漠之鹰”。这架飞机已经证明它在海湾地区干旱、炎热和潮湿气候适应能力。由于其特殊的推力重量比率，台风战机不只能够比其它战机适应恶劣环境，而且还能够善用其有效的载荷能力范围的表现。

完全符合当前和未来的海湾盟国空中力量的互操作性，台风是当下和未来提供威慑海湾国家的完美联盟战斗机。
