Eurofighter has the naval version of India
Eurofighter has submitted the naval version of the Eurofighter.
During the Eurofighter development raised the possibility of a version navalized, but was abandoned because, among other things, significant changes should be made in the airframe
Now, Eurofighter and BAE Systems have made public have been several studies on this subject, have shown that the Eurofighter navalized is perfectly possible and easier than previously thought. It will only be necessary to strengthen structure at certain points, mainly in the engine area, which also need to be reinforced by rings, and wing area, especially in the anchorage zone of the landing gear. This in turn should be sustutuido for a new landing gear and long tougher to take on the decks of aircraft carriers. A long train is fixed on the wing in a different position, which in turn means having to change this. The final structural change would be the installation of landing a hook.
Another important aspect of naval Versioned Eurofighter is no need to use catapults to launch, enough to power its two motors and a skyjunp the end of the flight deck. Likewise, the Eurofighter would be able to fully loaded Aponte weapons and fuel. In any case, to further improve the performance of the aircraft would be considering the adoption of a vector nozzle.
The most important element of the Typhoon navalis That STI is exceptional thrust-to-weight ratio Allows the aircraft to take off from a carrier using a catapult Without But with a simple and much cheaper "ski-jump." Detailed simulations the aircraft Have Shown That Will Be Able to take off and land in this way with a full weapon and fuel load - Providing a flexible and potent Truly naval aviation capability.
