The Tornado is a two-seat, all-weather supersonic long-range fighter bomber used for high-speed, low-level attack missions, although other capabilities include high-altitude intercepts and close support. An automatic low-altitude terrain following system enhances penetration capability while power is provided by two RB199-34R axial-flow turbofans equipped with afterburners and thrust reversers.
