First flight of Eurofighter in Kuwaiti configuration

摘要

LEONARDO HAS completed a maiden flight of what the aerospace company describes as "the most advanced variant of the Eurofighter ever flown" - the first Instrumented Series Production Aircraft (ISPA 6) equipped with the Kuwait Air Force (KAF) configuration. The Typhoon, Italian experimental serial CSX55169 (likely IT014), is expected to be the final two-seat TF-2000A for the Aeronautica Militare (Italian Air Force) from a total of 14 ordered. The initial flight took place at the Leonardo Aircraft Division's Flight Test Centre at Turin-Caselle Airport on December 23.
