Background

The Panavia Tornado, a joint project of the German, British and Italian aviation industries, revolutionized military aviation in the 1970s. The innovative swing-wing design made it possible for the first time to combine short take-off capability, high subsonic speed in low-altitude flight and efficient cruise flight characteristics. The IDS (Interdiction/Strike) variant was developed specifically for air-to-ground attacks, while the British GR.1 was designed as a multi-purpose variant. To this day, the Tornado shapes the image of modern air forces and is considered a milestone in European aviation technology.
