The Nimrod is a maritime patrol aircraft, not transport.

[Domj122]

"Multi Engine" is the term you'd be looking for (and yes, I know that the Typhoon and Tornados all have multiple engines!).

[Tom...]

Surely it would be easier to have one option for Big Jets then one for Fast Jets  ;)

My favorite is probably the Jaguar, but i doubt ill ever see one of them fly again  :'(

Nice to see at least two people realise that other countries other than the USA and former USSR make aeroplanes!

[Cobra]

F14

and before anyone says it, yes the only reason i like it so much is topgun  ;D

The F4 Phantom because it proves that if you put enough thrust on a house brick, it will fly

To be fair, the wings may have helped - look at Thrust SSC - two Speys just sent that hurtling across the desert!

Yes but without that large tail, it would have become a lifting body. Now take the wings of the Phantom....................
