Airbus has unveiled Germany’s first new Tranche 4 Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jet under Project Quadriga at its factory in Manching.

The €5.4 billion deal includes 38 new jets (30 single-seat and 8 two-seat versions). These aircraft will replace Germany’s oldest Eurofighters and are scheduled for delivery from 2025 to 2030.

Main Improvements

Better Radar: The jet features a powerful new AESA radar (called ECRS Mk1). It can detect enemy aircraft, drones, and missiles more effectively even small or hard-to-see threats and is harder to jam.
Modern Cockpit: It includes a large, easy-to-read 12x22-inch display screen and upgraded computers for better control and awareness during missions.

The new Tranche 4 jets are multi-role fighters. They will also support electronic warfare roles to help replace Germany’s aging Tornado aircraft. Germany has already ordered 20 additional Tranche 5 Eurofighters for delivery in the early 2030s. The first Quadriga jet is expected to make its maiden flight soon, with the entire fleet planned to remain in service until the 2060s.

Official Statement from the RCAF:

>Today, the Government of Canada announced a commitment to purchase a future Royal Canadian Air Force air demonstration capability. After more than six decades of service, 2026 will mark the final season for the CT‑114 Tutor aircraft fleet, which has represented Canada with dignity and pride since 1971.

The Department of National Defence intends to procure the CT‑157 Siskin II (Pilatus PC‑21) for the future Snowbirds team, ensuring Canada continues its strong tradition of air demonstration with a modern fleet.

We are incredibly proud of the women and men who, for decades, have represented Canadian Armed Forces with pride at airshows across North America and look forward to joining with Canadians to celebrate the team’s rich history, heritage, and excellence in the Tutor fleet's farewell season.
