The combined efforts of the five customer Air Forces and the industrial Flight Test programme have seen the Eurofighter Typhoon multi-/swing-role combat aircraft surpass the 50,000 flight hours milestone.

By the end of August, the Air Forces of Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom and Austria had amassed some 44,500 in-service flying hours which, when coupled with the 5,900 logged by the test fleet, easily surpasses the 50,000 mark.

Commenting on the achievement, Aloysius Rauen, Eurofighter CEO, stated: "This latest milestone is a recognition of the dedication of the flight crews and engineers across the Air Forces and the industrial test and evaluation teams. It is also testament to the reliability and availability of the Eurofighter Typhoon weapon system.

"These two elements, professionalism and technological achievement, are what define Eurofighter Typhoon as the world-beating aircraft that is in operational service today."
