Panavia
Tornado - 1974 |
The Tornado was designed in the late 1960s as a multi-role
combat aircraft able to carry heavy armament loads. It was
developed as a collaborative effort by British, German, and
Italian interests. Despite its age, it is still one of the
most versatile warplanes
The basic design included the use of
two advanced turbofans offering a high thrust to weight ratio
and good fuel economy. A fly-by-wire system, and advanced
navigation/attack system incorporating radar with search, ground
mapping, and terrain following capabilities adds to its
defensive and attack capabilities. The Tornado also includes a
variable-geometry wing system.
The first Tornado IDS (InterDictor/Strike)
aircraft flew on August 14, 1974 and entered service in July
1980. The IDS is operated by the RAF as the Tornado GR.1A
reconnaissance and the GR.1B attack variants, as well as the
German Luftwaffe and Marineflieger, and Italian and Saudi
Arabian Air Forces with slightly different avionics. |
