Fighter Bomber Wing 31 "Boelcke"

The Fighter Bomber Wing 31 "Boelcke" is one of the oldest flying task forces ofthe Bundeswehr. With the flight of the first Euro Fighter, on 16 December 2009was now launched in the air-ground role of the new generation combat aircraft tothe fourth generation.

With the Euro Fighter, the Fighter Bomber Wing 31 "Boelcke" is competent tocarry out its mission as a main defense force within the alliance and nationaldefense. After reaching the air-ground capability of € Fighters this as a multiplerole-capable weapon system (Multi Role) next to the fight against air targets, therole of the fighter bomber and thus take over control of ground targets is. TheFighter Bomber Wing 31 "Boelcke" on 20 June 1958 made by then-DefenseMinister Franz Josef Strauss in service. It is in the Air Force made severalpioneering work. Thus, the weapon system Panavia Tornado PA 200 was firstlodged Nörvenich at the airport in service. On 27 April 2006, the foundation stonefor the construction of the 10.5 million euros down expensive simulator building.The topping out ceremony was on the 25th Celebrated in October 2006.

The weapons system EUROFIGHTER

The Eurofighter is a single-seat, twin-engine, agile combat aircraft which will beused in the air-to-air, air-to-ground and tactical reconnaissance roles.

Developed by Europe’s leading aerospace companies, Eurofighter Typhoon is nowin service with the Air Forces of Germany, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdomand will fulfil Air Force requirements well into the 21st Century. Aircraftproduction is ongoing and with 638 aircraft under contract to the four PartnerNations and Austria, as the first export customer.The design of Eurofighter Typhoon is optimised for air dominance performancewith high instantaneous and sustained turn rates, and specific excess power. Specialemphasis has been placed on low wing loading, high thrust to weight ratio,excellent all round vision and carefree handling.

Eurofighter Typhoon has a foreplane/delta wing configuration that isaerodynamically unstable in the subsonic range. The "delta canard" design shape ofthe aircraft is driven by a need for:

• Subsonic/supersonic instantaneous and sustained turn rate performance• Agility• Lift and STOL (Short take-off and landing)• Exceptional acceleration• Reduced drag

Combining this with a low wing loading, high thrust-to-weight ratio, excellent all-round vision and carefree handling results in a truly exceptional aircraft.Stealth technology is incorporated in the basic design. Features include low frontalRadar Cross Section (RCS), passive sensors and supercruise capability.The airframe is constructed mainly from Carbon Fibre Composites (CFCs),lightweight alloys, titanium and Glass Reinforced Plastics (GRP).

Panavia Tornado

The Panavia Tornado is a family of twin-engine combat aircraft, which was jointlydeveloped by the West Germany, United Kingdom and Italy. There are threeprimary versions of the Tornado; the Tornado IDS (Interdictor/Strike) fighter-bomber, the suppression of enemy air defences Tornado ECR (ElectronicCombat/Reconnaissance) and the Tornado F.3 (only United Kingdom) a air fefencevariant. It is one of the world's most sophisticated and capable interdiction andattack aircraft, with a long range, large payload and high survivability.

Developed and built by Panavia, a tri-national consortium consisting of MBB ofWest Germany, British Aerospace, and Alenia Aeronautica of Italy. The Tornadofirst flew on August 14, 1974, and saw action with the RAF and AMI (Italian AirForce) in the Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm). International co-operationcontinued after its entry into service within the Tri-National Tornado TrainingEstablishment, a tri-nation training and evaluation unit operating from RAFCottesmore, England. Including all variants, 992 aircraft were built for the threepartner nations and Saudi Arabia (first export customer).
