Eurofighter is the world's best
Only the American F-22, which enters service several years later at more than twice the price, will be superior to the Eurofighter
Only 15% of the aircraft is made of metal. Some 70% is made of carbon fibre composites and 12% glass reinforced plastic thus ensuring it has structural strength and durability but with a low weight penalty. Eurofighter has the world's most advanced radar for long-range detection and acquisition of targets both in the air and on the ground. Known as the ECR90, it is developed by GEC-Ferranti and will allow pilots to detect and track numerous targets simultaneously and then to fire at enemy aircraft well beyond visual range.
