We Asked ChatGPT What The Best Fighter Plane Ever Made Is, Here’s What It Said – SlashGear

The last aircraft ChatGPT highlighted was the Typhoon, produced by Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug GmbH and coordinated through the NATO Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency (NETMA). The Eurofighter Typhoon is a joint technology product co-authored by the U.K., German, Spanish, and Italian governments, national aerospace and defense industries BAE Systems, Leonardo Aircraft Division, and Airbus Defense & Space. “The Eurofighter Typhoon is a relatively new fighter aircraft that is used by several European countries. It is known for its advanced avionics, weapons systems, and superior maneuverability,” ChatGPT notes. However, the AI glosses over the fact that five European countries (the four partner nations and Austria) all deploy the aircraft, as well as Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, and Kuwait’s national military forces.

ChatGPT notes that “the Eurofighter Typhoon is capable of conducting air-to-air and air-to-ground combat missions, making it a versatile and capable fighter aircraft.” Indeed, the Eurofighter Typhoon is capable of simultaneously deployable combat missions covering both targeting roles. The design team claims that the aircraft is “the world’s most advanced swing-role combat aircraft.” While the aircraft is certainly a relatively new addition to European and global partner militaries, the plans for this vehicle were long in the making (and it’s actually older than the F-22). First envisioned in 1983, firmly within the Cold War era, its first flight was in 1994 in Germany. In its development phase, the fighter was the most expensive combat aircraft built in Europe, with a £32 billion price tag (about $38 billion).

The aircraft can reach an altitude ceiling of 55,000 feet and is powered by two Eurojet EJ200 turbofans. Its armaments include an internal 27mm Mauser cannon, Enhanced Paveway II and Paveway IV precision-guided bombs, Storm Shadow and Brimstone air-to-ground missiles, and short and medium-range air-to-air missiles.
