The JAS-49 Stormfågel ("Storm Bird")

Born from a need for a new generation of Swedish fighter capable of handling both high-speed intercepts and intensive air-to-ground support. Inspired by the iconic Saab 37 Viggen, the Stormfågel carries forward Sweden’s tradition of innovative aerodynamics, blending a delta-wing and canard configuration while maintaining exceptional agility.

In combat, the Stormfågel is known for its remarkable maneuverability and ability to sustain high-G turns, giving it an edge in dogfights against even the most advanced adversaries. Its powerful single engine, fed by twin side intakes, allows it to achieve speeds with ease, making it an ideal platform for intercepting incoming threats and patrolling Swedish airspace.

While primarily an air-to-air fighter, the Stormfågel is versatile enough to switch roles when needed, making it a valuable multi-role platform. When deployed in strike missions, it can carry a range of munitions, from precision-guided air-to-ground weapons to long-range missiles. With its balanced design and cutting-edge capabilities, the JAS-49 Stormfågel stands as a testament to Sweden’s engineering excellence and commitment to self-reliant defense.
