Of course the Typhoon could catch an airliner; it's an air-superiority fighter, and not a particularly bad one at that.

Of course the Typhoon could catch an airliner; it's an air-superiority fighter, and not a particularly bad one at that.

Forgetting that the Eurofighter is called The Typhoon in the UK I compared the max speed of the WWII Hawker Typhoon (412 mph) to the cruising speed of a 737 (463 mph) and concluded, quite reasonably if you ask me, no.

I don't know if this makes me pathetic for not thinking of the UK Eurofighter as "Typhoon" or if it makes me Nerd King for having sufficient use for "Typhoon" for the WWII Hawker fighter that I keep calling the modern Typhoon "Eurofighter"

I think it is my fault for missing the joke: I've spent the morning combing through NAO figures on Eurofighter Typhoon procurement.
