Jet Fighter F-14 [3DPMS] Papercraft
The plane's engines are unreliable and have a history full of malfunctions. Pilots have criticized the TF-30's underpowered and unreliable engines with complaints that two-seat fighters are difficult and dangerous to fly at low speeds and at low altitudes, with around 110 "Category A" crashes that killed or caused millions of dollars in damage or both to F-14A models, and half of which occurred on landing as of 1995. In a technical publication Navy in 1976 Rear Admiral John Christiansen wrote the F-14 had "serious engine problems" with "Abrasion pressure on the first stage propellers, second and third stage blades damaged excessive tremor as well as they are not strong enough to resist breaking.".
