F-14 flight model
-
an F-14B/D EM chart and those are hard to find (if they even exist)
They surely exist, but not online
There might be a few NASA articles on F-14 engines, I’ll have a look.
EDIT : for the F-110-GE-400 engines of F-14B, you can use the chart of an F-16 with F-110-GE-100 engines, you wont be far off. Air intakes and nozzle differ, but I cant find something specific to the F-14.
As for the TF30, check this out :

They do exist…sounds good

Very nice Tomcat right here, I have it and its gorgeous and weaponable as its Tacpack enabled. Can also do CV ops and FSX@War i s coming shortly, I know: I am beta testing it.

As am I, and it has holes intrinsic in FSX that should be especially apparent in the A model. And that’s not mentioning the holes in what TacPack is supposed to be.
Aerosoft needs to permit the migration of this to another engine so it can live up to the blood, sweat, and tears by that team.

Ah but to which platform? Only one I know of that might be worthy is DCSW, with its future improvements coming.

That’s the one I’m suggesting. Was uncertain of forum rules discussing other titles, so was glad the inference was clear.

Doesn’t begin to work out with the F-16s numbers. The stages are different, as well as extra length in the F110 as installed in the Tomcat. The inlet differences develop large differences in performance when transsonic and supersonic.
The right work is from the real numbers.

True that. Even the TF30 performance in the F-111 and F-14A is not the same because of inlet geometry (even for the same engines)

Grumman’s Chief Test Pilot Kurt Schroeder about the General Electric F110-GE-400, began to enter in service in 1987 with F-14B (former F-14A Plus).

Too bad Goose’s time has expired before flying with the 110s…

Yea! bad luck! But the fact remains that the Tomcat finally got the engine it deserved in the end of it’s career in the USN… What a waste…
It would have been the perfect carrier strike aircraft in an updated version (to replace the 30 years old airframes) and probably with less development cost than the Super Hornet that required extensive redesigning…The Super Tomcat 21 was a proposed lower cost alternative to the Navy Advanced Tactical Fighter (NATF). The Grumman design would have the same shape and body as the Tomcat, and an upgraded AN/APG-71 radar. New GE F110-129 engines were to provide a supercruise speed of Mach 1.3 and featured thrust vectoring nozzles. The version would have increased fuel capacity and modified control surfaces for improved takeoffs and lower landing approach speed. The Attack Super Tomcat 21 version was the last Super Tomcat proposed design. It added even more fuel capacity, more improvements to control surfaces, and possibly an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar from the canceled A-12 attack aircraft.
It would have been an excellent aircraft… Too bad…

Yes… but more expensive to maintain, and probably less payload than the Superbug. And I do like the Cat.

Indeed… One thing is certain, though. Tomcats will always remain an icon in aviation history and for those (us) who love the bird, it can never be replaced.
