AeroIndia 2009: With Eurofighter, less can be more
Eurofighter is the ideal candidate for India's Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MRCA) requirement, due for field trials in April this year, said Eurofighter GmbH CEO Aloysius Rauen. He was speaking on the subject 'Eurofighter Typhoon - Perspectives and Trends' at the Aero India 2009 International Seminar on 'Aerospace - Perspectives and Trends in Technologies', held in Bangalore from 9 to 12 February. Rauen said that the Eurofighter was the most pilot-friendly next-generation fighter, since pilots were brought into the loop at the design stage itself. He especially pointed to its 'Sensorfusion' system, which managed the overload of information coming in through the radar, infra-red sensor systems and ESM systems fitted into the aircraft.
Pointing out that 155 Eurofighters were already in service in five European countries and Saudi Arabia, Rauen said that since the development of the aircraft was itself a joint collaborative effort, technology transfer could be more transparent and more effective for offsets, as integrating teams was Eurofighter's speciality.
