In ''[[Sonic Frontiers]]'', the Tornado appears with a new design mostly resembling its previous onefrom ''[[Sonic Lost World]]'', but with an extra seat added behind the pilot's seat. At the beginning of the game, [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] are setting their destination towards the [[Starfall Islands]] along with [[Amy Rose]] after being picked up separately on a isolated island, to find out the reason of [[Chaos Emerald]]s being drew to the location.<ref name="Convergence-Comic">''[[Sonic Frontiers Prologue: Convergence]]'', "Prologue: Convergence"</ref><ref name="Frontiers-Opening-Cutscene-I">{{Cite game|dev1=[[Sonic Team]]|date=8 November 2022|game=Sonic Frontiers|system=PlayStation 5|publisher=[[Sega]]|cutscene=Opening Cutscene|quote='''[[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]]''': We're coming up on the Starfall Islands.

An unnamed blue and red floatplane with a pusher configuration appears in ''[[Sonic Spinball]]''. In the opening cutscene, Sonic is shown riding on the wing as usual when the plane is shot down, depositing him into the waters outside [[Toxic Caves]]. Later, in the game's ending, Tails saves Sonic as he falls from the sky, while Dr. Robotnik falls to the remains of the destroyed [[Veg-O-Fortress]].
In the 8-bit [[Sonic Spinball (8-bit)|version]] of ''Sonic Spinball'', the plane has another different design. Instead of a floatplane, it is a regular monoplane with a tractor configuration, it is predominantly silver and has the letter "S" emblazoned on the vertical stabilizer. In the opening, Sonic hangs from the plane's bottom rope as he infiltrates the fortress.

[[File:Tails'-Prototype-Plane-Sonic-Adventure.png|thumb|The prototype model piloted by [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]], from ''[[Sonic Adventure]]''.]]
A prototype model of the [[Tornado 2]] appeared early on in both [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]'s and Tails' stories in ''[[Sonic Adventure]]''. The model looks nearly identical to the Tornado, but with a gray color scheme. Prior the events of the game, the prototype model was the latest aircraft built by [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]].<ref>''[[Sonic Adventure]]'' ([[Dreamcast]]) United States instruction booklet, pg. 20.</ref> After discovering a [[Chaos Emerald]], Tails decided to use it as the power source for the prototype's propulsion system during a test run.<ref>[[Sonic Team]] (9 September 1999).

在第一次
During the first playthrough of Sonic's version of Emerald Coast, the crash site of the prototype model serves as the [[Goal]]. In subsequent playthroughs and [[Time Attack|Trial mode]], however, the prototype model is replaced with a [[Capsule]].
During ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'' the Tornado gets shot down by the laser cannon of Dr. Eggman's [[Egg Carrier]]. After this accident, Tails headed back to [[Tails' Lab|his workshop]] and finishes the construction of his new blue-tinted experimental biplane, the '''Tornado 2'''. Unlike the original Tornado, it required a [[Chaos Emerald]] to function. Tornado 2 has been also capable of folding its wings into an X-shape to reach extreme speeds.
最初，Tornado是一架老式的雙翼飛機，有紅色的機身和兩個通過兩側的一對杆子連接的灰色主翼。紅色的機身上有一個灰色的牽引螺旋槳的動力裝置，駕駛艙附近有小的橙色前指箭頭，兩側都寫着白色的"SONIC"，並且下面有拉伸的F字標籤。駕駛艙只有一個座位。其尾部有兩個小的水平穩定器和一個垂直穩定器，後者上飾有一個有翼的Bumper的標誌。它還有三個輪子，兩個在下方的主翼下，一個在尾部下方。偶爾，Tornado的底部有一個由Tails[2]調整的定製助推器引擎。這種設計在最近的遊戲中被重複使用，包括Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II、Sonic Lost World和Sonic Runners，儘管有些小改動，例如翼尖的短紅線和黃色的三葉牽引螺旋槳。
By Sonic Adventure 2, Tails had built the Tornado 3, which he primarily dubbed the "Cyclone." Unlike the previous Tornadoes, it is a monoplane and carries a large missile launcher behind the single seat. In addition to its default plane setting, the Cyclone can also transform into either a battle-ready mech walker or a car. The walker was Tails' main mode of transportation and offense in the game.
In Sonic Unleashed, Tails volunteers the use of his Tornado-1 for the team's transportation. Not to be confused with the first Tornado, it is a completely new construction with a more notably streamlined and futuristic design. "Tornado 03" can be found inscribed near the rear, when the plane transforms during both of the Tornado Defense Acts of the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 version. The Tornado-1 also combines features of previous Tornado incarnations: the red paint job and outward construction of the original Tornado, the ability to transform into an X-shape like the Tornado 2, and the homing missiles found on the Cyclone.
In Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, Tails has built a now land-based iteration of the Tornado series called the "Tornado Racer", capable of making fast turns with its short wing span. It was built with parts found after an attempted invasion by Dr. Eggman, and has a special move called the Tails Tornado capable of removing other vehicles and items on the path in front of him by summoning a miniature cyclone.
The Tornado Racer's engine output most likely was limited on purpose by Tails as if it were faster it would take off like a normal plane seeing as it already has enough speed to hover over the ground. This theory is further evidenced by the fact that when it gets launched off of a hill, it has a very slow descent suggesting its capabilities of flight. During Tails' Tornado, the Tornado Racer flies in the air along with the tornado that the technique creates.
In Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie, the Tornado has the same design as its game counterpart in the early games in the Sonic series. In this media, it is Sonic and Tails main transportation across the unique surface of Planet Freedom.
The Tornado was used by Sonic and Tails to enter the Land of Darkness, although it got damaged in the process. Tails and Knuckles later got it back to home, where it was repaired and used to go to the North Pole where was destroyed by a missile from the Egg Mobile.
In the Sonic X anime series, the Tornado was a biplane that originally belonged to Sonic. The vehicle was later found by Tails, who started tinkering with it and making some improvements. When Sonic later found painting his plane, he was pleased with the work and replied that he liked the new color. The duo would later go on to make use of the Tornado 2, which was later replaced with the X Tornado.
In the Sonic Boom series, the Tornado is a plane-like and futuristic vehicle created by a long-lost civilization known as the Ancients. In this media though, it bears a stronger resemblance to the Tornado 2.
After being abandoned for about a millennium, the Tornado was found by Team Sonic who used it during their adventure to stop Lyric the Last Ancient. However, the Tornado was seemingly lost when it sank into a frozen lake during a battle with Dr. Eggman's Burnbot.
Sonic Prime
Tails, Knuckles, and Amy in Tornado, from "Shattered".
In the Sonic the Comic comic series and its spin-offs published by Fleetway Editions, the Tornado resembled its game counterpart for much of the comic's run until it adopted a color scheme akin to the Tornado 2 during the comic's adaptation of Sonic Adventure.
In this media, the Tornado served mostly as the Freedom Fighters' personal means of transport to the farthest corners of Mobius, but was equipped with no armaments and few tools.
In the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics, the Tornado originally resembled the Tornado 2, but would later come to resemble its game counterpart after reality was rebooted by the Super Genesis Wave.
An agile biplane, the Tornado was perhaps the most famous of the Knothole Freedom Fighters' vehicles. Tails took the position of the pilot, maintaining his place since the earliest versions of the Tornado. Armed with short range homing missiles, twin blasters and a massive thrust engine, it could take on even the fighters of the G.U.N. air force. Throughout the series, the Tornado went through many iterations.
After the Super Genesis Wave reset the multiverse, the Tornado became virtually identical to its game counterpart, although it remains a primary vehicle in the Freedom Fighters' air force.
In the Sonic the Hedgehog serialized manga published by Shogakukan, Nicky's father, Paulie, who is a qualified pilot for the air mail, pilots a red biplane similar to the Tornado. Unlike the Tornado, Paulie's aircraft is also a seaplane.
The Tornado was originally intended to transform into an aircraft resembling a fighter jet at the end of Wing Fortress Zone to chase Dr. Robotnik's rocket. Due to time constraints and size limitations, the transformation was scrapped, and as a last resort a custom booster engine was attatched to the underside of the plane instead.[18]
When the Tornado appears at the end of Wing Fortress Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, it has a custom booster engine attached to the underside, but this engine is gone in the game's cinematic ending. The engine is then back at the beginning of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and it reappears consistently in Sonic & Knuckles and Knuckles' Chaotix. However, it is not seen again in Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II.
In Knuckles' Chaotix, unused in-game sprites of Tails piloting Tornado exist in the game's code.
In real life, there have been several aircrafts with the name "Tornado": a variable wing fighter/bomber/electronic warfare aircraft series called the Panavia Tornado, two fighter prototypes called the Hawker Tornado and XP-68 Tornado from the 1940s, and an early jet bomber called the B-45 Tornado.
The original Tornado's design does not seem to come from a specific aircraft; however, following its redesign from Sonic Adventure onwards, the Tornado 2 bears a striking resemblance to the Polikarpov I-153, a 1930s Soviet biplane fighter.
At the end of Sonic & Knuckles, the Tornado is shown with "SONIC" written in reverse due to it facing the opposite way it usually is. This is because the sprite is simply flipped horizontally, instead of entirely new sprite being created. This was fixed in Sonic Origins.
"Wing walking" is an actual stunt that is historically associated with biplanes.
In the Archie Comics series, the Tornado 2 appears in the Sonic Rush Adventure comic adaption, while the game version features the original red Tornado.
In Sonic Lost World, Tails is seen fixing the propeller of Tornado, even though before Dr. Eggman is seen shooting the top wing of the biplane.[6] Although it is possible that the propeller was damaged when the plane crash-landed.
A LEGO version of the Tornado appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog Level Pack in LEGO Dimensions. Its appearance is based on its design in Sonic Adventure. Upgrading it changes its design to the Tornado Racer, Tornado-2, and the Tornado used in the Genesis games.
The LEGO model, found in the Tails' Workshop and Tornado Plane LEGO set. Resembles its design from Sonic Lost World the most.
