👀 No need to rub your eyes - this image is neither AI generated nor a photomontage! This is the hybrid of the German Aerospace Centre’s (DLR) #A320 Advanced Technology Research Aircraft (ATRA) and a #Eurofighter. The flying testbed took off for its maiden flight from Braunschweig, Germany. Operated by Airbus and the @DLR_en in close cooperation with the @bundeswehrInfo, the modified A320 ATRA will be used to test and mature the new AESA (active electronically scanned array) MK1 radar which will be integrated, for example, into the latest generation Eurofighters of Spain’s ‘Halcón’ and Germany’s ‘Quadriga’ orders. The radar will ultimately enhance the Eurofighter’s capabilities in multimode air-to-air and air-to-ground operations with features to also complement electronic warfare capabilities in the future.
