the EF may be ‘superior’ to the Gripen, but not twice as good, the Gripen is older than the EF. After considering all these facts, I do wonder that did India did take a wise decision by choosing Rafale over the Eurofighter Typhoon. Yes, the EF is a better jet, but the Rafale is cheaper to build and possibly maintain.

Der schwedische Gripen scheiterte 2014 an der Urne.

1. Air-to-Ground winner: Eurofighter Typhoon. JAS 39 Gripen vs Eurofighter TyphoonComments of readers (Feel free to leave a reply on bottom)1. And when all this is going on, no one seems to be worried that the time is just getting wasted in finalizing the deal, when the India badly needs another air-superiority fighter to complement it’s Sukhoi 30 MKI fleets, in today’s scenario , when it is getting regular threats from it’s neighbors like Pakistan and China. The Gripen costs 1/2 of that of the EF. Peter Collins stated Rafale as a “war-fighter par excellence”.

This Rafale’s canard configuration was implemented, since a slow landing speed facilitates adapting the airplane to an aircraft carrier.

This means that the point of lift is further in front than the centre of mass. Bearing in mind that the Gripen can take off AND land in 600m, be refueled and rearmed in ten minutes by 1 technician and 5 conscripts, and can operate from country roads; whereas it takes the Eurofighter 300m take off and well over 900m to land, takes at least twenty minutes to refuel and rearmed by a team of 10 specialists, and has to operate from prepared airfields, the Gripen has a major advantage!2.

Im Rennen sind Airbus (Eurofighter), Boeing (F/A-18 Super Hornet), Dassault (Rafale), Lockheed Martin (F-35A) und Saab (Gripen E). The plane is going to turn (pitch) faster than the Rafale.

He added that he deemed the Rafale to be the best and most complete combat aircraft that he had ever flown. As of 2014 everyone knows that Rafale is much more efficient than Typhoon which was humiliated in ATLC and Lybia by Rafale. The Typhoon can fly higher and faster than the Rafale.b). The Rafale is a better bomber AND and a better dogfighter.6.

The only advantage of the Rafales canard configuration is that it can fly slower before stalling. When comparing these two European fighters, Eurofighter is a bit better, apparently thanks to a little more advanced avionics and technology, such as Euroradar CAPTOR Radar.Although the Rafale can carry more weapons that are connected to the 14 points of connection (and even nuclear weapons), Eurofighter carries something better weapons, especially in the case of air-to-air missiles.Rafale is armed with air-to-surface MBDA AM-39 Exocet anti-ship missile and MBDA CVS401-Perseus (in the future), while Eurofighter carries AGM-65 Maverick, AGM-88 HARM, Taurus KEPD 350, Storm Shadow / Scalp EG and Brimstone…10.

He is more agile with only 15t of thrust, totaly omnirôle and combat proven, not the typhoon…11. The effect is that the Typhoon can permanently pull 9G turns supersonically, whereas the Rafale cannot.

Rafale is a omnirole fighter from his conception, not the typhoon and the argument is to give more engine thrust or longer range radar is bogus because you must take into consideration all the other parameters, weight, radar syrface, weapon system, aerodynamics etc …Rafale is a must of fighter jet combat. © 2020 - Comparison - BVR - Dogfight. Eurofighter is over… production will be stop before 2020 and now there are a lot of technicals problems…5. The Eurofighter is primarly an air superiority fighter (with the option to fit for multirole purposes), while the Raphale in the original concept has a major focus in tactical support for ground forces (with the option to fit for dogfighting just in case).4. AVIATIA - Aircraft specifications and performance - comparison site The Typhoon has a lower wing load 310 kg/m² vs. 322 kg/m². In order to counter this tendency, the canards are much further away from the centre of mass, in order to have a larger lever for pushing down the nose of the Typhoon in straight flight.
