[...] ITP teste une tuyère mobile sur un EJ200. [...] Le concept a déjà été démontré sur un EJ200 au banc, jusqu'à des angles de déflexion de 20° et sur toute la plage de puissance. Selon Eurojet, le moteur de série actuel peut recevoir le système moyennant de légères modifications. Reste à savoir si les gains en performances suffisent à justifier le coût du développement de cette tuyère vectorielle, dans l'optique d'une rénovation à mi-vie de l'Eurofighter.
