Eurofighter jet crashes in Spain
MADRID, Nov 21 (AFP) - 14:35 GMT - A prototype of the long-awaited Eurofighter warplane crashed south of Madrid on Thursday morning, a Spanish government source said.
Both pilots ejected before the crash and escaped unharmed, the defence ministry source said.
The plane was on a test flight at a height of 15,000 meters (nearly 50,000 feet) when its two engines shut off simultaneously. The pilots, a lieutenant colonel and a major in the Spanish air force, were unable to reignite the engines before ejecting.
The plane crashed in the region of Toledo, 70 kilometers (about 40 miles) south of Madrid, and the pilots landed near the town of Ciudad Real.
The Eurofighter — a two-seater, two-engine fighter jet — is made by a consortium composed of Britain's BAE Systems, Germany's Daimler-Benz Aerospace (Dasa), Italy's Alenia and the Spanish group Casa.
