Low-cost Eurofighter alternative design

[giorgio]

Dear friends,

as far as I remember, in the early Nineties, a few alternatives were envisaged by the 4 Participating Nations (UK, West Germany, Italy; Spain) to reduce the Aircraft cost, in the wake of the end of the Cold War. These ranged from a single-engined EFA to a existing-engine powered Aircraft or something else...
I remember clearly an article in the magazine FLIGHT INTERNATIONAL, where these alternatives were described. Niotwithstanding some effort I never could retrieve such article.
Is the folk following this forum able to dig-out these information?

Giorgio,

I clearly remember that particular article from Flight International too. I don't have a copy of the magazine but I'm sure I have a scan of the drawings in a external disk. With a bit of patience and fortune I'll try to locate it.

Regards,

Antonio

It was conceived as such an aircraft, but the requirements were much greater. For such an aircraft, something like a light fighter, it would have to be an aircraft with canard wings but with one engine of 35,000kN or two engines of 18,000kN, to be supersonic up to 1200 km/h or 900 km/h and to have the ability to take off from short distance but also to have a radar with limited close combat capabilities.
