Typhoon 
A multirole fighter that is the result of a combined effort between multiple countries to develop a next-generation fighter. It has large delta wings, which provide stability even at supersonic speeds. Capable of supercruising even without the use of an afterburner, it attains Mach 1.3 when fully loaded, and maintains its superior maneuverability even at such speeds. This allows for sudden turns and acceleration at 9G, though G-suits will be required. Its shortcomings include limited downward visibility due to the front canard wings. Aside from the fixed 27mm rotary cannon, it also features 13 multiuse hardpoints allowing for additional equipment, and is able to handle a diverse variety of anti-air and anti-surface weapons. Its nickname is "Typhoon."

Flight model
The raw flight data from the game files (campaign version). Speeds are in km/h. The other numbers use the game's own units. The values keep the game's field names, because what most of them do is still unknown. Under Stability and Defense are the fields that match those in-game bars best. Mobility matches the rotation rates. How the game calculates the bars is unknown.
The game's curve points for this aircraft are out of order (a lower speed follows a higher one); they are drawn as stored.
