OEurofighter EF-2000 98+07 began as 30+44 c/n 151/GS029/PA7, a regular Luftwaffe registration but when it was designated as a test aircraft the registration changed to 98+07. On January 19, 2022 Instrumented Production Aircraft (IPA7) 98+07 completed its maiden flight wearing the new colorful paint scheme. This celebrated the 60 years Airbus has been located at Manching. Airbus uses Manching as one of their locations to test military design and development. The blue and white scheme represents the Bavarian flag and the tail displays various shapes of aircraft from the past and for the future.

Eurofighter EF-2000 Typhoon S

Designed as part of a co-operative effort by Germany, Italy and the UK to produce an air superiority fighter, the Eurofighter was first flown on March 27th, 1994. The Eurofighter is a single-seat, twin-engine, agile combat aircraft used in air-to-air, air-to-ground and tactical reconnaissance roles. It is intentionally aerodynamically unstable, which gives it its high levels of agility-but this means the Typhoon is controlled by a computerized "fly by wire" system instead of by its pilot. The Eurofighter's first rate performance is matched by excellent all round vision and by sophisticated attack, identification and defense systems and stealth technology.
