Advance Eurofighter stuck at Innsbruck airport

The advanced Eurofighter aircraft was forced to have an emergency landing and remained grounded at Innsbruck airport, guarded by the military police while the technicians struggle to make it airworthy again.

While on its mission last week to escort a foreign military aircraft through the Austria's airspace, the Eurofighter is one of the two high-tech fighter planes developed that encounters an engine sensor problem which forced the pilot to make an emergency landing.

Latest reports from Austrian army tell that technicians still busy trying to reset the plane's emergency measures subsystem with a very special tool.  The work was expected to take time. According to the Ministry of Defence the plane's chassis had "locked" on landing, to prevent "swinging away" during the emergency landing.

The other measures were also need to be reset before the machine could be flown back to Zeltweg, where the plane is stationed. The Eurofighter plane originated Zeltweg in Styria, and was flying in formation with another Eurofighter at supersonic speed with nine kilometers of altitude when the  engine fire warning was triggered, forcing it to perform an emergency landing.  Other Eurofighter completed the mission, and safely returned to base.
