Cockpit Ingress & Egress

Yet another factor separating Eurofighter Typhoon from the crowd is its avionics and sensors suite. This section outlines the systems and packages necessary for high mission effectiveness and survivability in the high threat situations the aircraft was designed to meet.

Pilot entering Eurofighter Typhoon cockpit
Normal access and exit from the cockpit may be via either an external or integral ladder. The latter, designed for autonomous operations, is a telescopic arrangement stowed in the port side of the fuselage below the cockpit entry and exit is through a combination of the ladder, footrests and handholds. Emergency escape is by the Martin Baker Mk.16A ejection seat the canopy is jettisoned by two rocket motors.
