Have you ever wondered how a Eurofighter is built? It takes a total of 14 steps to finish a EurofighterTyphoon. The Eurofighter is European through and through with different parts coming from the partner companies that make up the so called Eurofighter consortium: Airbus in Germany and Spain, BAE Systems in the UK, and Leonardo in Italy. Depending on the the customer, the figher jets are then assembled at the Final Assembly Line in the respective country before undergoing rigorous testing to ensure that they are safe, and ready for the most demanding missions.
