Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: A Tomahawk cruise missile on display at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. The Tomahawk is a long-range, all-weather, subsonic cruise missile. The first surface ship launched a Tomahawk cruise missile in 1980, followed by a submarine launch in 1983. The U.S. Air Force developed a ground-launched and air-launched version in 1983 as well.
The Tomahawk is not a rocket. It is powered by a Williams F107 turbofan small jet engine. When first launched, a a solid-fuel booster rocket gets it airborne. Then the wings deploy, the airscoop is exposed, and the turbofan engine ignites. Tomahawks generally carry a 1,000 pound bomb. However, they can also carry cluster munitions or a nuclear weapon. Each Tomahawk costs about $1.45 million. |
