The Eurofighter 2000 is more than an
airplane - it is a war machine. In Germany, the Eurofighter was subject to a heated
debate, unlike in Great Britain, Italy and Spain, the other countries participating in
Europe´s most sophisticated and expensive weapon project ever.
In a long and dogged fight, lobbyists wrestled for influence on the project, slowing down the decision process. The Result was another record - longest development time. The prototype was originally ordered more than ten years ago.
The documentary features the eventful story of the Eurofighter and shows how a leading-edge fighter-bomber is designed, tested, and built. We accompany a German test pilot in flight, explain the European partnership behind the project, and analyse its military value as well as Eurofighter´s chances to hit foreign markets.
Length: 30 mins.
