BAE Systems engineers are testing a scaled version of the companyâ€™s Typhoon fighter jet in a high-speed wind tunnel setting.

The engineers are using a 1/12th scale model of the Typhoon Tranche 3 aircraft for the aerodynamic characteristics testing at BAE’s Warton, Lancashire-based facility, the company said Tuesday.

BAE also mounted conformal fuel tanks on the aircraftâ€™s fuselage for the evaluation.

The Tranche 3 is the third version of the Typhoon plane.
