panavia tornado f3 3D Model

the tornado f3 made its maiden flight on 20 november 1985.enhancements over the f2 included rb.199 mk 104 engines, which were optimised for high-altitude use with longer afterburner nozzles, the capacity to carry four under***g side***der missiles rather than two, and automatic ***g sweep control. the f3's primary armament when it entered into service was the short-range side***der and the medium-range skyflash missiles, a british design based on the american aim-7 sparrow. the f.3 (originally f.mk3) became operational in 1989, with an automatic maneuver device system incorporated, enabling the flight control computer to automatically adjust the sweeping the ***g to obtain the optimum flight characteristics. this was similar in concept to the automatic sweeping ***g (asw) capability of f-14, a capability that greatly enhanced maneuverability but did not exist on any previous tornado ids and adv models.
