在3月份的2013马来西亚兰卡威国际海事与航空展上,“台风”和“阵风”为了马来西亚空军多用途战斗机项目展开了面对面的竞争。二者都是典型的所谓三代半战机,也均采用了前翼加三角翼主翼的鸭式气动布局。鸭式布局的优点之一,是在增加升力的同时,降低了配平阻力(鸭式布局飞机的重心在升力中心之前,因此产生了一个低头力矩,鸭翼的升力正好配平了这个低头力矩); At March 2013 at the Langkawi International Marine and Air Show in Malaysia, Typhoon and Rafale competed face-to-face with the Malaysian Air Force multipurpose fighter program. Both are typical so-called third-generation semi-fighter aircraft, also using the front wing plus delta wing main wing aerodynamic layout. One of the advantages of the canard layout is that while increasing the lift, the trim resistance is reduced (the center of gravity of the canard layout aircraft is at the center of the lift, thus producing a bowing moment, the lift of the canard equaling this bowing moment);
