Eurofighter Typhoon heads for Aero India 2007

The Eurofighter GmbH consortium has announced its intention to have a strong presence at the Aero India 2007 show at Bangalore. Eurofighter GmbH said that it will be participating in the event along with venture partner, Eurojet. Eurofighter Typhoon is the product of a European joint venture, with four participating partner nations, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom agreeing to replace various aircraft types with the multi-role/swing-role aircraft.

The programme brings together European aerospace giants like BAE Systems, Alenia Finmeccanica and EADS, who are also shareholders in the programme. The Eurofighter is Europe's largest collaborative programme and will effectively lead to the replacement of 11 types of aircraft. The programme already has 620 aircraft placed on order for the four nations, plus 18 for Austria, with options for a further 90.
