FARNBOROUGH, England \u2014 After the unveiling of a new future fighter aircraft concept for the UK here, Eurofighter executives want to make sure their company\u2019s Typhoon is part of the picture toward any European future combat air system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the second day of the Farnborough air show, Eurofighter CEO Volker Paltzo claimed that Typhoon is the \u201cbenchmark\u201d of European fighter collaboration, both now and into the coming decades, as governments continue to roll out initiatives to protect the interests of their defense industries in combat air development for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UK government revealed its combat air strategy on 16 July at Farnborough air show, claiming that a new design it is developing under a \u2018Team Tempest\u2019 moniker would develop technology that will roll into the Typhoon program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The industry team behind Tempest is the same as the UK\u2019s Typhoon one, and it has been announced that technology will be transferred between the two programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
