genuine question?
what proportion of Typhoons pretty spectacular manouverability was engineered into the aircraft after it became clear that F2/F3 just couldn't cut the fighter mustard?
how much of that manouverability is a result of it being at the top of the 'it must do this..' list when pencil first touched paper, and how much was a welcome, but not neccesarily demanded by-product of other design philosophies...?
