  Remarks  
Built by British Aerospace as the sole example of the Experimental Aircraft Programme technology demonstrator, as part of the development of a new agile air superiority fighter, which eventually appeared as the Eurofighter Typhoon. In May 1983, the British Government signed a contract with BAe for EAP development. This was jointly funded by the Ministry of Defence and industry including MBB of Germany and Aeritalia. The single airframe was intended to research technologies associated with advanced fighter development, incorporating a fly-by-wire system (evaluated on Jaguar test bed XX765), and the concept of the delta wing with canards. The airframe was built by BAe using an adapted Tornado rear fuselage and fin/rudder and one Italian built wing. First flight 8 August 1986
