  3. Reporting NameTornado Role Letters & MarksF3 • ROLE Air Defence • WING SPAN 13.9 m. forward 8.6 m. fully swept • LENGTH 16.45 m. • CREW 2 • SPEED800kts (1480 km/h) (Mach 1.2) at sea level • ENGINES 2 Turbo Union RB199 turbofans Tornado F3

  4. Long-range air defence interceptor. • Variable sweep wing for high supersonic speed or high loiter duration. • All-weather day/night operation with beyond visual-range engagement capability. • Patrols for over 3 hours at 300nmls from base. • Carries a full range of advanced air-to-air missiles. Tornado F3

  5. Reporting NameTornado Role Letters & MarksF4 F4A • ROLE Multi-Role Strike/Reconnaissance • WING SPAN 13.9 m. forward 8.6 m. fully swept • LENGTH 16.7 m. • CREW 2 • SPEED800kts (1480 km/h) (Mach 1.2) at sea level • ENGINES 2 Turbo Union RB199 turbofans Tornado F4/F4A

  6. Variable swept-wing, all-weather strike or reconnaissance aircraft. Terrain-following radar, Forward Looking Infra Red (FLIR) and night-vision goggles give it a full night capability. Laser target-marker allows self-designation of target for laser guided bomb operations. Full air-to-ground weapons capability including suppression of enemy air-defence systems. FLIR system enables the GR4A to conduct low-level, tactical reconnaissance missions. Tornado F4/F4A
