Airbus Commences Assembly of 38 Eurofighters for German Air Force
Airbus Defence has started assembling Eurofighter Typhoon combat jets ordered by the German Air Force (Luftwaffe).
Project Quadriga will see the air force receive 30 single-seat and eight twin-seat Tranche 4 Eurofighters to replace 38 Tranche 1 aircraft that are being retired.
“Quadriga is charging ahead. At our Manching site near Munich, we have officially started final assembly of 38 new Eurofighters for Luftwaffe in the framework of the Quadriga contract. Airbus will deliver 30 single-seaters & 8 twin-seaters by 2030,” the company confirmed in a recent tweet.
The contract for Eurofighters was signed in November 2020. These new-build aircraft will be equipped with the E-Scan European Common Radar System (ECRS) and updated software.
Germany’s defense procurement office (BAAINBw) recently selected Saab’s Arexis sensor suite as the preferred solution for the German Eurofighter Electronic Warfare (EW) variant.
