Which US technology is in the Typhoon?
Apparently there's some American technology in the Typhoon.
Without breaking any rules, can somebody please explain what?
AMRAAM and..?

I thought the kit that the US helped develop was being left out of the export models?

It obviously has to be a remote control for something to avoid any physical exertion and a flat area to put the 16 oz burger and 52 oz Coca Cola
...or it could just be the XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL sized seat
Oh, and not to miss an opportunity. . .

As per EFs own website, the CFG is US sourced....

Not sure how easy it would be to source elsewhere, but I don't believe its a particularly strategic technology.

CFG = Cr4p Flying Gadget.
An innovation by BWOS, basically they charge you the earth for any old pile of tripe that never works and requires massive upgrade everytime you manage to get used to it. It's one saving grace is as a performance upgrade, you just leave it behind and get 500kgs lighter.
Where is my Gems money??

Some of the GPS stuff requires US licences you only have to look at the first Austrian delivery curfuffle to see what holding back a US license can do.
I believe the navigation may still work but its degraded without the certain codes that the US hold.
Cheers

I seem to remember that Wilbur and Orville were the first to get those working.
They may have been the first to use them on a powered aircraft but that too is disputed. Many believe that Richard Pearse may have pipped them to that post too.

Chard resident John Stringfellow may also have a claim ...
In 1840, John Stringfellow, a bobbin-maker, came up with the idea of passenger-carrying "aerial steam carriages”, and with William Henson, he designed a 20ft wingspan monoplane to be powered by one of his own steam engines. It was built, but it never flew.
After Henson emigrated to America, Stringfellow designed and built a smaller monoplane with a 10ft wingspan and a wooden frame covered in silk.
It was powered by a tiny steam engine housed in the gondola below the wings.
In June, 1848, just months after Henson emigrated, Stringfellow successfully flew his model inside a long room in a disused lace mill in Chard.
The model was launched from a supporting inclined wire several yards long, which ensured that the machine started flying at a reasonable speed and in the right direction.
Stringfellow, who died in 1883, also demonstrated a steam-powered triplane at an exhibition arranged by the Aeronautical Society of Great Britain at the Crystal Palace, London, in 1868
Stringfellow's achievement was recreated in the 1980s by the BBC for one of Adam Hart-Davis' Local Heroes' programmes when a replica of the aircraft, powered by a small modern petrol engine was successfully flown in a lace mill in Chard.
Sorry, fred drift
