Blackjack Banner catches the RAF Typhoon Display Team's jet rolled belly-up to the crowd, the Union flag painted across its underside laid flat against a clean blue sky.
This is an original Marqforde photograph taken from the crowd line at the Royal International Air Tattoo, RAF Fairford, in July 2022, the season the black jet known as Blackjack carried the flag beneath it. One pass, one roll, and the whole scheme shows at once.
About the aircraft
The Typhoon's canard-delta layout is deliberately unstable, trading natural steadiness for agility. No pilot could fly it unaided, so four independent flight control computers, with no mechanical backup, correct it continuously, while carefree handling blocks any demand that would exceed structural or aerodynamic limits.
Its roots lie in two British research aircraft. Jaguar XX765 flew on 20 October 1981 as the first aircraft with an all-digital quadruplex fly-by-wire system and no mechanical backup. The unstable EAP demonstrator followed on 8 August 1986, and both are now at the RAF Museum, Cosford.
The display jet is the one you see on our Nightstalker phone case too, wrapped in vapour on an overcast day. This is the same aircraft in the sunshine, showing its other side.
Quick facts
- Aircraft: Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4, twin-engine canard-delta multirole fighter
- Flight controls: full-authority quadruplex digital fly-by-wire, no mechanical backup
- Performance: carefree handling cleared to 9g, which display pilots pull close to the ground
- Ancestry: Jaguar ACT XX765 (1981) and the EAP demonstrator (1986)
- Operator: RAF Typhoon Display Team, flying the black jet known as Blackjack
- Display context: inverted pass showing the Union flag underside, Royal International Air Tattoo, RAF Fairford, 2022
