The project is of NETMA (NATO Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency) to act as general contractor manages customer. Series production of the Eurofighter Typhoon is underway, and the aircraft is procured underthree separate contracts (referred to as "tranches"), each aircraft with more features in turn. The aircraft used on service with the Royal Air Force, German Luftwaffe, Italian Air Force, Spanish Air Force, the Austrian Air Force and the Saudi Arabian Air Force.

The fighter achieves high agility at both supersonic speeds and low speeds by a relaxed stability design. It has a quadruplex digital fly-by-wire control system providing artificial stability, as manual operation alone can not compensate for the inherent instability. The fly-by-wire system is described as "carefree" by preventing the pilot from exceeding the allowable maneuver envelope. The navigation isvia ...
