F-35 and Typhoon fly together for the first time

An F-35 flies in formation with two RAF Typhoons over the skies of Edwards Air Force Base, California

This is the first time that the F35 and Typhoon have flown together during which the aircraft performed their first airborne link during interoperability testing.

Interoperability between the F35 and Typhoon is being optimised through a series of simulated scenarios led by ourselves on behalf of the UK customer which allows operators, pilots and engineers to ensure the interoperability of both platforms and allows any refinements to be made early on in the design and development phase, saving time and money in the process.
