EADS and Eurofighter Consortium welcome Danish statement on fighter decision
Munich -- EADS, on behalf of the Eurofighter Consortium, is pleased with the statement by the Danish Defence Minister that Denmark wishes to develop closer relations with Eurofighter as part of the on-going fighter replacement competition.
Over the past year, since the issue of a Request for Information (RFI), there has been a very intense and productive exchange of information between Eurofighter and the Danish Authorities. This includes a highly successful week at the EADS Flight Test Facility at Manching, Germany, where a Royal Danish Air Force (RDAF) test pilot and flight test engineer both flew the Eurofighter and spent five full working days being briefed and inspecting all of the high-technology systems within the aircraft.
In parallel with this operational-orientated activity, EADS has also been discussing industrial cooperation projects with Danish industry. This could lead to up to some DKK 40 Billion of high technology work should Denmark choose the Eurofighter as its F-16 replacement fighter aircraft.
