First UK Tranche 2 Twin-seat Typhoon Begins Final Assembly
The first UK Tranche 2 twin-seat Typhoon is now in the final stages of assembly at BAE Systems Warton.
The major units of the aircraft (BT017) have arrived at Warton’s final assembly facility after being manufactured in the partner nations’ facilities across Europe – the front fuselage is built at the BAE Systems Samlesbury site in Lancashire. Once delivered to the RAF, in late 2009, the jet will be used to train the next generation of Typhoon pilots.
