Full Specifications

Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4 Multirole Fighter Jet

The Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4 is the Royal Air Force frontline multirole combat aircraft, built for air superiority and precision strike missions. It represents the most advanced operational standard of the Typhoon family, combining high speed, agility, and modern sensors for complex combat environments.

Developed by a European consortium led by BAE Systems, Airbus, and Leonardo, the Typhoon originated as an air dominance fighter. The FGR4 variant expands that role with full ground attack capability, electronic warfare upgrades, and improved networked operations. It serves as a core element of UK and NATO airpower.

Powered by twin Eurojet EJ200 engines, the FGR4 reaches speeds above Mach 2 and can supercruise without afterburners. Its delta wing and canard design deliver high maneuverability, making it effective in both beyond visual range and close combat engagements.

The aircraft is equipped with the Captor E AESA radar, PIRATE infrared search and track system, and a modern defensive aids suite. These systems allow pilots to detect, track, and engage multiple targets while operating in contested airspace. The FGR4 supports a wide range of weapons, including Meteor long range air to air missiles, Paveway guided bombs, and Storm Shadow cruise missiles.

Operationally, the Typhoon FGR4 has been deployed in Baltic Air Policing, Middle East strike missions, and NATO quick reaction alert duties. It remains a key bridge between fourth and fifth generation fighters, working alongside the F 35 in UK service.
