What is the difference between the Tornado and the Rafale and the Typhoon

Tornado is a fighter-bomber, using a rear variable sweep wing, 80% of the mission is a ground attack, is designed and manufactured by Eurofighter for the Soviet Union's Su-24 fighter-bomber, Tornado has been in service in the eighties, is a typical of the three generations of war bombing, combat effectiveness ranked at that time F111, Su-24 after the second. It is basically equivalent to the current Flying Leopard Improvement. Rafale fighter is a fighter developed by the French Dassault company in the eighties in the world, with a fixed swept wing, following the delta wing of the Mirage 2000, but with a canard wing, and it is a static unstable aircraft, with strong maneuverability, and the aerodynamic layout is similar to that of the J-10, but double-engine.

Rafale is a third-and-a-half-generation fighter with both air-to-ground attack capabilities, with greatly improved stealth performance and electronic jamming equipment. At the same time, it has a shipborne version. The Typhoon fighter is a twin-engine, single-tail, twin-engine third-generation fighter developed by the Eurofighter Corporation.

The aerodynamic layout of the typhoon is very similar to that of the gusts, except that the engine is better than the gusts, and is slightly weaker than the gusts in other aspects. There is no carrier-based version of the Typhoon. There are several main differences between a typhoon and a gust:

The Typhoon air intake is in the belly of the fuselage and is nearly square, with the two air intakes side by side, while the Rafale air intakes are oval and on either side of the fuselage. The canard wing of a typhoon is remotely coupled, that is, it is relatively far away from the main wing and is positioned in the front, while the canard wing is close to the main wing. The Typhoon fighter has a movable in-flight refueling docking device, which is not obvious, while the Rafale has a fixed fuel delivery interface on the side of the nose.

Here the air combat Typhoon is the strongest, the most advanced, the engine is stronger EJ200, there are ultra-long-range air-to-air missiles, followed by Rafale, the engine is almost there, and it can be on the aircraft carrier. Tornado Europe is discontinued, as long as the ground attack is carried out, with variable sweep wings.

The Rafale fighter was developed by the French company Dassault, and the Typhoon fighter is the latest type, jointly developed by Britain, Germany, Italy, and Spain.

The Rafale is French, and the Gale is a new single-seat twin-engine supersonic fighter developed by the Eurofighter Corporation (a cooperation between Britain, Germany, Italy, and Spain).

One level is bigger than the other. Gusts, squalls, typhoons...

Each has its own characteristics. The Typhoon fighter is a new single-seat, twin-engine, supersonic fighter using two turbofan engines, each with a military thrust of 60 kNewtons (6,100 kg) and an afterburner thrust of 90 kNtons (9,100 kg). Mainly used for air defense and air superiority missions, it has both ground attack capabilities, and adopts a front-mounted canard delta wing, twin-engine, single vertical tail, belly air intake layout, multi-purpose air superiority fighter with over-the-horizon, air super-maneuverable attack capability and combat capability, and also has short take-off and landing (STOL) capabilities"Supersonic cruise"Ability and certain ground attack capabilities.

The Rafale uses the M88 series engine produced by Snakma, an advanced twin-rotor afterburner turbofan engine developed by Snekma for Rafale fighters. Now in service is the M88-2 with a middle thrust of 50kN and a maximum afterburner thrust of 75kN. In addition, a total of several models were produced in Rafale, including the Rafale C, a single-seat fighter of the French Air Force

Rafale B, a two-seat fighter of the French Air Force: Rafale M, a single-seat fighter of the French Navy. The Air Force model** is priced at 70 million euros each.

The price of the Navy model** is 75 million euros each.

There is little difference in technology, France was also a member of the Eurofighter program at the beginning, and then withdrew for various reasons and developed the Rafale on its own).

The difference is that the typhoon is slightly larger, and the bomb load and range are slightly superior.

The air battle between the two mainly depends on the pilot's skill and luck.

See what's going on. Air superiority, typhoon good; Multi-purpose, good gusts.

The two are about the same, but, in terms of height, typhoons are stronger than gusts. This indicates that the amount of fuel carried by the typhoon, the ** on which it is mounted, and the electronics it is equipped with are a little stronger than the gusts. But there is one thing that a typhoon is not as good as a gust, and that is that there are both land-based and carrier-based gusts.

Big, ahh

<> "are all multi-purpose fighters, what is the difference between a typhoon and a gust."

Since the formation of the European Union, the whole of Europe has entered a big pot rice system, and as long as the airspace of the EU member states is guarded by fighters jointly developed by European countries. However, as a well-known fighter producer in Europe, France did not have the consciousness to study fighter planes with other European brothers.

On July 4, 1986, the follow-up model of the French Mirage 2000, the Rafale fighter, completed its first flight, and eight years after the Rafale completed its first flight, the Typhoon fighter jointly developed by Germany, Britain, Italy and Spain also completed its first flight. Although there was a difference of 8 years between the first flights of the two fighters, the two fighters actually have quite a relationship.

First of all, the first flight and development of the French Rafale are in advance, and there is the foundation of the Mirage 2000, so in the development of the Rafale, France can be said to be very smooth. It is precisely because of the experience of the French in developing delta-wing aircraft that the French company joined in the early stage of the Typhoon project, but in the middle of the project, because of some different opinions, the French company announced its withdrawal, but at this time the Typhoon fighter has been finalized, which is why it is so similar to the Rafale.

The two fighters are of the same four and a half generations, and they have such a deep origin, which is destined to be compared by military fans. However, because the two fighters are too similar, they are not superior in terms of fuselage structure and aerodynamic shape, and in terms of bomb load and fire control radar system, the two fighters are almost the same. However, the two fighters are slightly better than the Typhoon, and there are two reasons.

First, the design positioning of the typhoon should be high

Although the Rafale came out a few years earlier than the Typhoon, the Rafale solved the needs of the air defense of the French mainland, and the development of the Rafale was not participated in by other countries, that is, it was completely the product of France itself behind closed doors, but the Typhoon was different.

First of all, the positioning of the Typhoon fighter is the defense of the whole of Europe, and there are as many as 4 countries involved in the research and development, and the specific air defense requirements of the four countries are different, which means that the air clearance of the Typhoon must meet the air defense requirements of the four countries. However, high standards are bound to give birth to good products, and the strict requirements also make the Typhoon a more comprehensive fighter than Rafale.

These can be seen from the flight indicators of the Typhoon and the Rafale, compared with the two fighters, in addition to the range and agility are slightly inferior, other aspects such as climb rate, acceleration performance and other aspects are better than the Rafale.

Second, the air combat capability of the typhoon is stronger

Better radar also gives Typhoons a longer detection range and a strong over-the-horizon air combat capability. And when the air battle enters the line of sight, the Typhoon is still stronger than the gust, because the Typhoon has a pilot helmet display, which allows the Typhoon pilot to find and lock on to the target faster. The Rafale fighter that does not have it will naturally suffer a little.

There is a big difference between the Typhoon and the Rafale in terms of air combat capabilities and design positioning, the Typhoon is the stronger side, and for a multi-role fighter, the strength of the air combat capability is the most basic criterion for measuring a fighter. Obviously, a typhoon that came later was better. Before the Dou New Year.

Who is stronger, the world's most famous European Typhoon fighter or the French Rafale fighter?

Rafale was developed by France alone; Typhoons are developed by many countries in the European Union; In terms of versatility, typhoons are stronger than gusts; But in terms of price, typhoons are much higher, and typhoons are half generations higher.

Both Rafale and Typhoon are products of the Eurofighter program, at that time all the countries in Europe that had a fighter industry participated in the development, and later France and other countries had a disagreement, it needed a fighter that could carry a carrier, but other countries either did not have an aircraft carrier, or the displacement of the aircraft carrier was too small to carry such a large aircraft, so France withdrew halfway. Then Dassault developed the fighter on its own. Other countries, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and Spain, jointly developed the Typhoon fighter.

The Typhoon fighter uses the EJ2000 engine newly developed by a specially formed engine company, although the radar is still a mechanical scanning radar when it is installed, but this radar has carried out a lot of experiments on the British Falcon business aircraft, and the stability and advancement are very good, known as the strongest mechanical scanning radar, and there are recent plans to replace the phased array radar. As for the airborne **, I think that the Typhoon has a clear advantage, the multi-mission performance is more than the Rafale, and the anti-air ** has Meteor, Slam, and the Rafale is only Mika, from the process to the long-range. In terms of ground and damage**, typhoons also have more options than gusts.

I'm not denying the payload capacity of the Rafale, the Rafale fully demonstrated its compatibility with ** at the air show, but at this point, there are more options for the Typhoon. There is a point that the Rafale was in service earlier than the Typhoon, but the subsequent models followed up slower than the Typhoon. It is said that it will be possible to reach the sixth batch in order to have full combat capability, which is inferior to the Typhoon.

In addition, in order to strengthen the strength of the shipborne type, it is inevitable that the weight will increase, which will lead to a decrease in maneuverability. Comparing these two models, I think that the Typhoon is superior to the Rafale in terms of powertrain and slightly superior in maneuverability. On the radar the two are equal, but the Typhoon on the electronic pod is better.

In terms of multi-mission performance, the Typhoon also has a slight advantage. But in terms of stability, I think that the Rafale is superior to the Typhoon (the Rafale followed the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier on a global voyage and also participated in actual combat, which is incomparable to the Typhoon). So on the whole, the typhoon is still able to overwhelm the gusts.

This can also be seen from the sales of the two, the typhoon out of the four countries involved in the development of equipment, but also exported to Saudi Arabia, and at the same time with the Rafale competition for the selection of Singapore's fighter jets also went further. And the Rafale, unfortunately, is now only used in France.

Rafale fighters are a little stronger.

Analysis reasons: fighter performance differences: Typhoon fighter by many European countries jointly developed, although the collection of the public's strengths, but also due to the different technical and tactical indicators of various countries caused by the relatively balanced lack of characteristics of the Typhoon fighter (France after the withdrawal of its own development of Rafale fighters), in addition to the lack of phased array radar resulting in radar performance is relatively backward, on the other hand, Rafale does not exist the problem of technical indicators are restricted, France itself set its own research and development manufacturing.

Political restrictions: Rafale fighters can be sold to whomever they want, and the Typhoon is not subject to political restrictions.

Cost-effective: In this item, the typhoon is relatively better, after all, the multi-country development so the risk value of the cost sharing is low.

**Performance: Rafale can achieve French missiles all-in, and the standard single Typhoon is NATO, with good versatility.

Extended performance: The Typhoon is only available in the roadbed type, while the Rafale has developed into a shipborne version. For the continuity of one model, the Rafale is better than the Typhoon model.

Upstairs, it's the other way around, the Rafale is three and a half generations, and its latest signal has been equipped with a passive phased array radar Of course, the Typhoon is also good The maneuverability is super strong, and it is hard to say who is strong without actual combat.

The typhoon is stronger, but because it is a joint development, there are still problems that have not been solved. The main difference is that during a typhoon, the bottom is connected to the air intake, while the gust is the bottom of the two sides.

Typhoons are more advanced, belonging to the 3rd generation and a half, and the Rafale is the 3rd generation aircraft.
