El Reino Unido devela modelo de avió caza “Tempest”
July 16, 2018 - Un modelo del nuevo avión de combate planeado del Reino Unido, Tempest, fue presentado en el Salón Aéreo de Farnborough. El jet de sexta generación terminará por sustituir al Eurofighter Typhoon y podría estar en el aire para 2035
The full-size model was unveiled by UK Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson, who said the jet could be used with either pilots or as a drone.
The move is a bid to show the nation wants to remain a so-called Tier One military power after Brexit, according to a Bloomberg report.
Mr Williamson said the UK would be investing £2 billion ($2.65 billion) to oversee the design and build of the aircraft, which could be operational in 2035.
