The German-built prototype of the Eurofighter EF2000 is scheduled to have its first public flying display at ILA '96. The pilot of the first development aircraft, DA1, is scheduled to perform a restricted 5min flight routine at the Berlin-based show.
The routine will be straightforward and strictly limited, as the interim flight-control system is not yet cleared for full-envelope manoeuvring. The aircraft, which is powered by Turbo Union RB199s, rather than the definitive Eurojet EJ200, has been undergoing flight tests at British Aerospace Defence headquarters at Warton, Lancashire, in the UK.
