A camel is a horse designed by a committee...
Typhoon is a committee effort, a Brit plane glued to a German bottom, and the Italians flitting about, ineffectually trying to make it look like something.
Mercifully, they dallied so long in producing the thing, that it caught up with itself, and is now a 4.5th generation aircraft.
There is not an uglier front end in service anywhere, no wonder the Frogs sniffed and went off to make Rafale!

Now there's an interesting thing...EADS is a DUTCH company!
Although Airbus is made in Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Spain.

They even went so far as to supply it with a modesty blanket, so the ground crew don't go on strike because of mental anguish
