Development of the Tornado began with the [[Royal Atmoran Air Force]] seeking to replace its [[Messchaert J-39 Merel]] fighter aircraft, seeking a dedicated {{wpl|air superiority}} fighter aircraft. Fokker had begun development on it's XJ-56, interest by the [[Imperial Castarcian Air Force]] in 1986 and renewed interest to build upon the Castarco-Atmoran joint aircraft development of the [[Halkavia J-46 Tempest]]. Fokker and Castarcian Aerospace began joint development on the J-57, taking it's first maiden flight in 27 March 1994 from [[Vliegbasis Ramskapelle]], [[Gallia]]. The Halkavia Tornado first entered Atmoran service in 17 December 1997, being designated as the J-57 Tornado. The Tornado would enter Castarcian service on the 7 February 1998 being designated as the Tornado FGR.1.
