"We are living a true Renaissance of the #Eurofighter Typhoon programme," said Eurofighter CEO Giancarlo Mezzanatto. 🚀✈️ Speaking at an #aviation media briefing at the Farnborough International Airshow today, Giancarlo Mezzanatto said there was positive news on orders. He said the programme has a bright future on the back of: - Negotiating 25 aircraft for Spain's Halcon 2 - Germany announcing plans to buy 20 more by 2025 - Italy to replace 24 Tranche 1 models He said: "We are currently negotiating 25 aircraft for Spain Halcon 2, Germany has announced the will to buy 20 additional aircraft by the first half of 2025, and Italy will buy 24 aircraft to replace Tranche 1. "Last year we made the prediction of about 100-200 additional orders for Eurofighter in the two following years. I am happy to say that these predictions are confirmed." Giancarlo also confirmed that Eurofighter also has ‘realistic opportunities’ in the export market before mid-2025. #FIA2024 #FIA24 #EurofighterTyphoon

I had the pleasure to welcome many of the defence industry’s top journalists to the #Eurofighter chalet at the Farnborough Air Show today. I gave the members of the media an update on our programme - sharing my views on why it is experiencing such a renaissance, and how we are putting it on a solid footing for the future. My address was followed by a thorough “question & answer” session - covering a wide range of topics from campaigns to #Typhoon capability upgrades. It was great to receive so much interest in Eurofighter Typhoon’s current status, and how it will look in the future. #FIA2024 #nothingcomesclose

The Farnborough International Air Show opened today with a flypast from #Eurofighter Typhoon, flown by Flt Lt David ‘Turbo’ Turnbull. We spoke to him to find out what inspired him to join the #RAF. From the moment as a young teenager Turbo Turnbull sat in the cockpit of a Tornado GR4 – on the ground! – he realised that his dream was to become a fast jet pilot. And this year he joined the elite of the elite as he became the coveted RAF #EurofighterTyphoon display pilot for the 2024 season. His first memory of flying a Typhoon after being posted to RAF Lossiemouth following Advanced Fast Jet Training in a Hawk T2 was his instinctive thought of ‘This thing goes!’ And even now after many hours in the air he’s still overawed by the pure power of Typhoon’s EJ200 engines. Throughout his reign he will demonstrate to tens of thousands of people throughout the summer the incredible performance of the amazing aircraft and give them a taste of what our frontline pilots are dealing with every day.
