Typhoon Fighter Jet Crazy Vertical Takeoff

Description

Italian Typhoon at Farnborough Airshow 2026 Day 1. Why It Can Do This
This extreme performance is made possible by the Typhoon's twin Rolls-Royce EJ200 engines. With reheats active, the engines output massive thrust, giving the aircraft a thrust-to-weight ratio close to 1:1. This allows the heavy fighter to climb and accelerate vertically almost like a rocket.
