  10. Detail Differences – T1A vs T3 Typhoon T1A / T3 are primarily used for pilot conversion training but are fully combat-capable All Typhoon T1s had a modification to the fuel system to become T1As Typhoon T3 has the PIRATE FLIR (Forward Looking Infra-Red) sensor mounted on the port-side of the nose

  11. Detail Differences – F2 vs FGR4 Typhoon F2 and FGR4 are the frontline combat variant of Typhoon. Typhoon F2 is used in the air-to-air and Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) roles only Typhoon FGR4 has the PIRATE FLIR (Forward Looking Infra-Red) sensor mounted on the nose FGR4 upgrade introduced air-to-surface capability to Typhoon. All F2s will be upgraded to FGR4

  12. Typhoon Manufactured by the Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK via the Eurofighter consortium High performance, single seat, multi-role fighter aircraft designed to perform air superiority and ground attack missions with a full range of air-to-air and air-to-surface weapons. Twin-engine delta wing design with canard foreplanes and fly-by-wire controls for maximum agility Advanced avionics including ECR-90 CAPTOR Radar, Helmet-Mounted Symbology System (HMSS) helmet-mounted sight and voice control input.
