The technology and equipment of a fighter aircraft have evolved greatly over the years and so many mechanical components have been replaced with electronics and light transmission.

Eurofighter Typhoon jet to get new Captor E-Scan radar






Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain (through partner companies BAE Systems, Airbus and Finmeccanica) have signed a 1 billion euro ($1.3 billion) contract to provide their jointly backed Typhoon jet with a new sort of radar.As part of the new contract the Typhoon jet will in future be available with the "Captor E-Scan radar" which will give increased detection and tracking ranges, advanced air-to-surface capability and enhanced electronic protection measures

Eurofighter lost out on a $20 billion deal to sell 126 jets to India in 2012. While Saudi Arabia and Oman have ordered Typhoons, Eurofighter suffered a major blow last year when United Arab Emirates quit talks over a possible 6 billion pound order.BAE said trials of the jet with the new radar had already started.

A manufacturing problem has been discovered with the fuselage of Eurofighter combat planes, halting some deliveries, but none of the jets have been grounded, European military officials said.
The problem was caused by the way rivet holes were drilled in part of the rear fuselage of the European warplane, which is operating in the air forces of six countries.

The Eurofighter jet, also known as Typhoon, was developed for four nations - Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain - which have so far taken delivery of 371 aircraft out of 472 on order.The aircraft has also been exported to Austria and Saudi Arabia and Oman recently agreed to become a customer.
