The Typhoon is an agile single seat, multi role aircraft optimised for high attitude supersonic air combat but also capable of operating at much lower levels in air to ground roles. A major plus of the Typhoon over the current types is its ability to undertake swing role missions which, means it can be equipped to undertake both air to air and air to ground missions in a single sortie, switching modes in flight. With nine underwing weapon mounting points, the aircraft can be equipped with a 2 x Advanced Short Range Air To Air Missiles 4 x Advanced Medium Range Air to Air missiles whilst simultaneously carring air to surface ordance which could include laser guided bombs, Brimstone anti armour weapons, Storm shadow cruise missiles and Air launched Anti Radiation Missiles. No 11 squadron disbanded in October 2005 and was reformed at RAF Coningsby Lincolnshire on 29th March 2007 as the RAF's second frontline Typhoon squadron
