Under the programme, ESS is responsible for the design, development, production and support for all of the non-weapons systems work content.

Eurofighter Typhoon, built by a consortium of Finmeccanica, Airbus Group and BAE Systems, is a delta-wing, beyond visual range (BVR), close air fighter aircraft with surface attack capability.

The jet is powered by two Honeywell F124 engines. It features a fly-by-wire control system that enables it to remain fully controllable at angles of attack of more than 35°, as well as an integrated digital avionics suite with the ability to simulate sensors and threats in flight.
