Here is acceleration for Block 50.
Notice the best number comes from a Gross Weight of just 20,000lbs meaning the jet is only flying with about 700lbs of fuel. And it takes 17 seconds from 200-650KIAS. On Aircrew Interview, the RAF pilot (Paul Godfrey) said the Typhoon was basically a F-16 on steroids. So i'm guessing this guy means probably about 15 seconds for its acceleration (Yet the Tiffy could be carrying more than 10% internal fuel as in the F-16's best number/though, F-16 "may" have less frontal drag than Typhoon --if so, not by much). His comment about Tiffy v F-16 BFM is pretty interesting.
However, his 5 second quote number seems off even with the Typhoon being the monster that it is. He also was kinda confused earlier in the interview when he said the Gripen "could have" fixed canards, but not to quote him on that. Could be a language issue?
I could be wrong?
