The aircraft carried the German military registration 34+02. It was the first Eurofighter built to the new Tranche 4 standard under Berlin\u2019s <em>Quadriga<\/em> programme to leave the ground \u2014 and with it, the Luftwaffe\u2019s long-delayed fleet renewal finally became a flying reality.<\/p>\r\n<p>Airbus test pilot Stefan Auer held the jet aloft for just over an hour. The sortie was a production flight acceptance test: not a display, but a methodical checklist to confirm that a factory-fresh airframe behaves exactly as its drawings promise. Auer worked through basic handling, engine response, the flight-control system, hydraulics, the electrical system, and the cockpit instruments and navigation suite. Airbus reported that every system performed as intended.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background: #f5f5f5; padding: 20px 22px; margin: 22px 0; border-radius: 8px;\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 10px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 17px; color: #111;\">Informazioni rapide<\/p>\r\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5;\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 14px 4px 0; color: #555; font-weight: 600; vertical-align: top; white-space: nowrap;\">Aeromobili<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 0; color: #222;\">Eurofighter Typhoon, Tranche 4 (single-seat)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 14px 4px 0; color: #555; font-weight: 600; vertical-align: top; white-space: nowrap;\">Registration<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 0; color: #222;\">34+02<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 14px 4px 0; color: #555; font-weight: 600; vertical-align: top; white-space: nowrap;\">Primo volo<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 0; color: #222;\">14 July 2026, Manching, Germany<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 14px 4px 0; color: #555; font-weight: 600; vertical-align: top; white-space: nowrap;\">Pilota collaudatore<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 0; color: #222;\">Stefan Auer (Airbus Defence and Space)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 14px 4px 0; color: #555; font-weight: 600; vertical-align: top; white-space: nowrap;\">Programma<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 0; color: #222;\">Project Quadriga \u2014 38 jets (30 single-seat, 8 two-seat)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 14px 4px 0; color: #555; font-weight: 600; vertical-align: top; white-space: nowrap;\">Total on order<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 0; color: #222;\">58 new-build Eurofighters for the Luftwaffe<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 14px 4px 0; color: #555; font-weight: 600; vertical-align: top; white-space: nowrap;\">Key upgrade<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 0; color: #222;\">Captor-E \/ ECRS Mk1 AESA radar; new mission computer<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 14px 4px 0; color: #555; font-weight: 600; vertical-align: top; white-space: nowrap;\">Consegne<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 0; color: #222;\">From late 2026 through 2030<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top: 22px;\">A first flight by the book<\/h2>\r\n<p>There is a deliberate lack of drama in a production acceptance flight, and that is the point. The Eurofighter design is more than two decades mature; what is new here is the manufacturing standard and the equipment fit, not the aerodynamics. The task on 14 July was to verify that this specific airframe \u2014 assembly line number one of the Quadriga batch \u2014 came off the Manching line correctly. An hour of steady evaluation, no surprises, is precisely the outcome the programme wanted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin: 0 0 24px;\"><img data-opt-id=46398004  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto; max-width: 100%; display: block; border-radius: 6px;\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/luftwaffe-eurofighter-typhoon-display-livery.jpg\" alt=\"German Air Force Eurofighter Typhoon in special livery\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" \/>\r\n<figcaption style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #777; text-align: center; margin-top: 6px; font-style: italic;\">A Luftwaffe Eurofighter Typhoon.

Photo: Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top: 22px;\">What Tranche 4 actually changes<\/h2>\r\n<p>The visible aircraft is familiar; the important changes are inside it. The Tranche 4 standard delivered to Germany centres on the Captor-E active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar \u2014 the ECRS Mk1 variant \u2014 replacing the mechanically scanned Captor-M of earlier jets. An AESA antenna scans electronically rather than physically slewing a dish, which brings longer detection ranges, the ability to track many targets at once, and far greater resistance to jamming.<\/p>\r\n<p>Behind the radar sit a more powerful mission computer and reworked cockpit displays, giving the aircraft the processing headroom to absorb future weapons and software without another hardware rebuild. In plain terms, Tranche 4 turns a capable but ageing airframe into a sensor platform fit for the 2030s and beyond.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background: #f8f9fa; border-left: 4px solid #1565c0; padding: 20px 22px; margin: 18px 0 24px; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; display: flex; gap: 20px; align-items: flex-start;\">\r\n<div><em>\u201cThis new order is further proof of the Eurofighter\u2019s importance to the German air force and the strategic role it plays in our country\u2019s air defence and NATO capabilities.\u201d<\/em>\r\n<div style=\"margin-top: 10px; font-size: 14px; color: #555;\"><strong>Michael Schoellhorn<\/strong> \u2014 CEO, Airbus Defence and Space<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top: 22px;\">Filling the gap until FCAS<\/h2>\r\n<p>Project Quadriga covers 38 aircraft \u2014 30 single-seat and eight two-seat \u2014 ordered to replace Germany\u2019s oldest Tranche 1 Typhoons, which entered service in the early 2000s and are approaching the end of their useful lives. Counting a follow-on commitment, Germany now has 58 new-build Eurofighters on order. Deliveries of the Quadriga jets are due to begin later in 2026, once type certification is complete, and run through 2030.<\/p>\r\n<p>The timing matters. The Future Combat Air System (FCAS) that France, Germany and Spain are developing is not expected to field a combat aircraft before the 2040s, and the programme has had its share of industrial friction. Until then, a modernised Typhoon fleet is the backbone of German and NATO air defence in Europe. The quiet, hour-long flight of 34+02 is the first tangible step in keeping that backbone current.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;
