Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug GmbH (English: Eurofighter Fighter Aircraft GmbH) is a multinational company that coordinates the design, production and upgrade of the Eurofighter Typhoon military jet.
Founded in 1986,[2] it has its head office in Hallbergmoos, Germany.[3] The company is owned by the major aerospace companies of the four Eurofighter partner nations:
46%: Airbus Defence and Space (then known as EADS) (France, Germany and Spain)
33%: BAE Systems Military Air & Information (United Kingdom)
21%: Leonardo (Italy)
The Typhoon’s engine is designed and manufactured by EuroJet Turbo GmbH, another consortium of European companies.
Eurofighter's customer is the NATO Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency (NETMA), operating on behalf of the partner nations. The production and management model closely follows that of the earlier Tornado fighter jet programme. In that case, the Panavia Aircraft partnership was responsible for delivering the aircraft, and the Turbo-Union consortium was responsible for the propulsion system.
