The German Tornado takes to the skies in Florennes

An iconic combat aircraft

The German Air Force Tornado will perform a solo display at Florennes. This iconic European combat jet stands out for both its performance and its distinctive design.

A key asset in European air power

Developed through a collaboration between Germany, the United Kingdom, and Italy, the Tornado entered service in the late 1970s.

Designed primarily for low-level strike missions in all weather conditions, it has long been a cornerstone of European military aviation.

A dynamic and powerful display

The German Tornado Solo Display showcases the aircraft’s capabilities through a dynamic and engaging routine.

Spectators can expect fast passes, tight turns, and high-energy manoeuvres highlighting the jet’s speed and agility.

A unique variable-sweep wing design

One of the Tornado’s most distinctive features is its variable-geometry wings, which adjust their angle during flight depending on speed and manoeuvres.

This allows the aircraft to perform efficiently both at low speeds and during high-speed flight.

Raw power in the air

Powered by two Turbo-Union RB199 engines, the Tornado delivers impressive thrust along with a distinctive and powerful sound.

Still in service today with the Luftwaffe, it remains an operational asset within NATO.

A highlight not to be missed

The Tornado’s solo display is always a crowd favorite and promises to be one of the standout moments of the event,

appealing to both aviation enthusiasts and the general public.
