The power and speed of Eurofighter Typhoon They keep surprising. This combat plane, one of the most advanced in Europe, is able to cross the Iberian Peninsula in just 39 minutes, flying from Murcia to A Coruña.
This time is flying in mode Supercrucerothat is, at a sustained supersonic speed without using postquemor. In this way, Typhoon maintains an approximate speed of 1,500 km/hwhich allows you to travel more than 900 kilometers Between both cities in record time, and with a relatively efficient fuel consumption for a combat hunting.
But if the accelerator really squeezes, the Typhoon I could do it even faster. At its maximum speed, which exceeds Mach 2 (more than 2,400 km/h), the crossing would be reduced to just 26 minutes. Of course, reaching that yield would imply a very high fuel consumption, not very practical for most real missions.
Designed for aerial superiority missions, land attack and recognition, Eurofighter combines agility, power and tip technology. This ability to cross the country in a matter of minutes offers Spanish Air Force An almost immediate reaction capacity before any incident in national airspace.
To compare
A car trip between Murcia and La Coruña would take between 8 and 10 hoursand a commercial flight could take more than 3 hours including scales or transfers. The Typhoon does so in less than an episode of your favorite series lasts.
