 for the next century. It is designed to be the world's most capable and dynamic swing-role combat aircraft.

The Luftwaffe requires the Eurofighter ITD for initial crew training in advance of the full mission simulator Aircrew Synthetic Training Aid (ASTA) availability. It will be used primarily to train service-instructor pilots, but will also be used in support of future operational aircrew transition to the Eurofighter.

The Eurofighter ITD comprises a fully functional cockpit facsimile equipped with an MK16A ejection seat replica, HOTAS HOTAS Hands-On Throttle & Stick (flight simulation joysticks) , rudder/brake pedals, and all heads-up and heads-down displays, control panels, and switches. These elements represent the complete Eurofighter models of flight, aero, mass, flight control systems, sensors, engines, etc. and include the avionics, radar, and weapons systems which all interact with each other in real-time. This allows training of future Eurofighter pilots in handling, flight characteristics, operational and emergency procedures, and multiple tactical scenarios.

"The Eurofighter ITD represents one of the most advanced and fully featured simulation systems available to date, and we are proud that EADS recognizes our 35 plus years of expertise and the proven performance of our Power Hawk systems in the real-time arena," said Paul Meyer
