Rafale and Typhooon are remarkably similar. The former seems to employ more aerodynamic coupling than the later, though. Rafale's canard serves as a secondary vortex/lift generator for its delta wings; Typhoon's canard is so much forward that it [partially blocks pilot's forward-downward vision! and] needs separate vortex generator.
