Alluded to earlier but not actually stated as a Top Trump fact ..

The standard F3 has a large baggage compartment while the standard Typhoon has none. Although both a/c have ample space to store crew overnight bags and duty free


Ok, being serious if we must ... how about how many Squadrons have been equipped with each airframe? Or how many Stations have/will play host to either?

Or,

Which weighs more, the Blue Circle radar or the Blue Circle cannon?

Or,

Ideal for an aircraft with a projected A2G role, thanks to its canards the Typhoon pilot can see less of the ground below and in front of him than the F3 pilot can. How much less?? [No, I've no idea of the answer either but it might just be the killer Top Trump comparison for which the Typhoon has no answer]
