MS-110 pod for Typhoon

MS-110 on Typhoon

​​​​​​​The Raptor pod simply doesn't fit between the undercarriage doors, requiring a new, slimmer pod - either based on the existing Typhoon centreline pod, or another existing pod with the right dimensions. I'm told that the French Thales Areos pod would fit, for example.

The superb book that UTC produced contains these illustrations of the pod they designed for Typhoon - it incorporates the newer MS-110 sensor, rather than the DB-110, and could incorporate a SAR as well.
