[About Saab JA 37 Viggen]



Wikipedia
The Saab JA 37 Viggen (Viggen means Thunderbolt in Swedish) is a jet fighter developed by the Swedish company Saab. It was operated by the Swedish Air Force.
Development of the Saab 37 began as a successor to the Saab 35 Draken. The Saab 35 was an excellent fighter, but it had several problems (short range, poor flight stability, high angle of attack during takeoff and landing, which damaged the runway, etc.). In 1952, basic research began and the configuration of the aircraft was studied. Saab designed an unprecedented fighter aircraft with a delta wing and canards in order to meet the stringent requirements of the Swedish government. To ensure STOL performance, the engine was equipped with a thrust reverser.
The prototype Saab 37 made its first flight in 1967, and the fighter-attack version, the AJ 37, was deployed in 1972. Subsequent variants were deployed, including a double-seat trainer, a photo reconnaissance aircraft, and a maritime reconnaissance aircraft. The last derivative to be deployed was the JA 37, a fighter type.
Although the Saab 37 had achieved its planned performance, it failed to be exported and was used only by the Swedish Air Force. 331 Saab 37s were produced.
The Saab 37 was used to defend Sweden's airspace for a long time, but in the 1990s, the Saab 37 was retired in favor of its successor, the Saab JAS 39 Gripen.
The last Saab 37 was retired on June 26, 2007.
The Saab 37's delta wing and canard configuration, which was first adopted by the Saab 37, has since been used not only by its successor, the Saab JAS39 Gripen, but also by other countries' fighters such as the Typhoon and Rafale.
