Eurofighter Typhoon Wall Art — 2 museum-grade prints on the theme. The Eurofighter Typhoon is a twin-engine canard-delta multirole fighter developed by the Eurofighter GmbH consortium, combining EJ200 afterburning turbofans with fly-by-wire agility and a sensor suite that supports both air-defence and precision strike roles. The RAF's FGR4 variant equips squadrons including 3, 6, 11, 17, and 29 with Meteor and AMRAAM-class air-to-air weapons alongside air-to-ground options. Austria selected the Eurofighter Typhoon in 2003 as its first post-Cold War supersonic fighter replacement, becoming the type's inaugural export customer. The first Austrian aircraft, serial 7L-WA, was accepted at Zeltweg on 12 July 2007; operational air surveillance began 1 July 2008 after leased Swiss F-5E Tiger IIs returned following UEFA Euro 2008 security duties.
