First Eurofighter Typhoon meteor firing

Issue No. 23-24 | December 01-31, 2012

The meteor beyond visual range airto-air missile has been successfully launched from a Eurofighter Typhoon as part of the future enhancements flight test programme.

This builds on an earlier series of flight trials, carried out by partner company BAE Systems on behalf of the Eurofighter programme, where unpowered missiles were used to demonstrate safe separation on the missile.

This current package of work begins the full integration of the meteor missile with all Eurofighter Typhoon systems. Meteor, a beyond visual range air-to-air missile manufactured by MBDA, will provide the Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft with the next generation of cutting-edge weapons capability. Featuring advanced air breathing motor technology for maximum range and the latest electronics to deliver optimum combat performance, it will ensure that Eurofighter Typhoon remains the world’s most advanced multi-role aircraft and will further complement its short and medium range air-to-air missile capabilities.
