The time has finally come!
I’m uploading my Eurofighter Typhoon, which I’ve built in several phases over the past seven years. It’s a very distant descendant of my original Eurofighter, available here: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/5cZb7Z/Eurofighter-Typhoon
Ewww.
Another version, ZJ914 “Blackjack” has now been released and is available here: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/1o7x5y/Eurofighter-Typhoon-FGR-4-ZJ914-Blackjack.
This version is equipped with guided bombs, a targeting pod and bombsight system. The old basic cockpit has been upgraded to a more complex cockpit interior including a HUD. This required a rebuild of the entire front fuselage.
New cockpit
Heads up display
Angle of attack indicator helps with speed control during approach.
A Funky Trees flight control system has been added, making it quite effortless to fly. It’s (mostly) resistant to stalling during hard manoeuvring, controllable at low speeds and at high angles of attack. Almost no trim input is needed, it practically flies itself. During aerial refuelling control sensitivity is reduced making it easier to contact the drogue and maintain formation with the tanker.
Manoeuvreable immediately after takeoff.
Weapons include a 27mm autocannon and guided bombs as well as Interceptor and Guardian missiles. It’s also equipped with a targeting pod and additional fuel tanks.
Using the targeting pod to bomb the convoy.
They never stood a chance.
Built with the help of photos and blueprints, to achieve the best possible scale and proportion:
Remind me again, which one is the real one?
Credits
Some features, such as the bombs, targeting pod and HUD, were made by other members of this community, however I can’t remember who to credit, as I downloaded these quite a long time ago and can’t find them on the site anymore. If you recognise your own work as part of this build, tag me in the comments with a link to your creation.

This is insane
@SajabAerospace damn thats so amazing, tysm bro!
@Apollo018362 The control surfaces deflect more at lower indicated airspeed to compensate for reduced effectiveness. This as well as other features like the auto trim, angle of attack limitation and air refuelling control mode are enabled by using complex Funky Trees functions for the control surfaces, instead of just a single input (roll, pitch, yaw etc). For example, this is the full input for the left inboard elevon:
Activate2=false ? clamp(PitchA - ((PitchRate / 85) + (AngleOfAttack / 50) / (IAS / 2)) + (-0.03 * cos(RollAngle)) + (AngleOfAttack < 45 ? Roll / (IAS / 200) : -Roll / (IAS / 200) * 1.25), -1, 1) + smooth(clamp(PID (0, PitchRate, -PitchRate / 200 + 0.3, IAS>200 ? 0.00 : 0, IAS<200 ? 0.001 : 0), -0.5, 0.5), 300 / IAS) - clamp((abs(RollAngle) / 100) / (IAS / 200), -0.5, 0.5) + (IAS>170 ? pow(IAS, 2) * (cos(RollAngle)>0 ? 0.000001 : -0.000005) * cos(RollAngle) * abs(abs(Pitch) - 1) : 0) + (IAS<118 ? pow(IAS, 3) * (cos(RollAngle)>0 ? -0.0000001 : -0.0000007) * cos(RollAngle) * abs(abs(Pitch) - 1) : 0) + (IAS<82 ? pow(-AngleOfAttack, 6) * (cos(RollAngle)>0 ? -0.0000000001 : -0.0000000007) * cos(RollAngle) * abs(abs(Pitch) - 1) : 0) : clamp(PitchA - ((PitchRate / 85) + (AngleOfAttack / 50) / (IAS / 2)) + (-0.03 * cos(RollAngle)) + (AngleOfAttack < 45 ? Roll / (IAS / 200) : -Roll / (IAS / 200) * 1.25), -1, 1) + smooth(clamp(PID (0, PitchRate, -PitchRate / 200 + 0.3, IAS>200 ? 0.00 : 0, IAS<200 ? 0.001 : 0), -0.5, 0.5), 300 / IAS) - clamp((abs(RollAngle) / 100) / (IAS / 200), -0.5, 0.5) + (IAS>170 ? pow(IAS, 2) * (cos(RollAngle)>0 ? 0.000001 : -0.000005) * cos(RollAngle) * abs(abs(Pitch) - 1) : 0) + (IAS<118 ? pow(IAS, 3) * (cos(RollAngle)>0 ? -0.0000001 : -0.0000007) * cos(RollAngle) * abs(abs(Pitch) - 1) : 0) + (IAS<82 ? pow(-AngleOfAttack, 6) * (cos(RollAngle)>0 ? -0.0000000001 : -0.0000000007) * cos(RollAngle) * abs(abs(Pitch) - 1) : 0) + smooth(clamp(PID (0, PitchRate, -PitchRate / 500000000 + 0.3, 0, IAS<200 ? 0.01 : 0), -0.5, 0.5), 1000 / IAS) - 0.1
How did you made it so amazingly maneaverable after the takeoff? It is amazing! Can you teach me pls
Ele não consegue decolar e explode quando coloco o avião no chão
WOW, I m imprassed that this masterpese looks beutiful, has many functions as targeting pod and impruved landing hud. And its only 770 parts. Awsome!
Amazing. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Pls build a low effizient plane with that landing Hud ITS sick
How I can't love this build, is perfect
Great job. This is a notable build- @zaineman look
its clearly the bottom image
simpleplanes' stock shading sucks tho
This is beautiful. Best eurofighter I’ve seen. Keep up the good work!
@TheMouse Wha
@SajabAerospace
Just btw, congratulations! Your plane is now curated for VR!
@Rob119WithA105mmHowitzer
Hi.
@Graingy
Just cover the plane with blocks. You never seen this? I will tag you if I see a well preserved specimen.
Excellent work
Very good
@TheMouse how tf?
@SajabAerospace ok boome 25er
I need that HUD, it looks very good
In 2 hours remind me to spotlight this
I'm still developing this plane. 😄 Good work! I liked! It will certainly be better than mine.
@Rjenteissussy looking forward to flying this on SP2 multiplayer and seeing what new features I can add.
