Typhoon Flown With Taurus KEPD 350 Missiles

摘要

Eurofighter Typhoon Instrumented Production Aircraft 7 (98+07, b GS029) completed its first flight carrying a pair of Taurus KEPD 350 stand-off precision weapons on January 15 from Manching in Germany. Eurofighter project pilot Chris Worning flew the aircraft as part of the integration tests for the MBDA Storm Shadow long-range air-to-surface missile - the KEPD 350 being aerodynamically similar to the other weapon. During the flight flutter tests, an air data large store interference assessment and aerodynamic data was gathered.
