I've been thinking quite a lot about European manufacturers lately and an intriguing what-if scenario came to mind about an alternative grouping of European manufacturers - sort of following on from this thread...

The Gripen F is the least documented variant of the Gripens, And if external pictures of it weren’t scarce enough on the internet already, finding an image of the interior, specifically the Weapon Systems Officer’s part, is practically impossible. It makes sense though, because SAAB wouldn’t...
Let’s assume that in the mid-1990s, the governments of Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary signed a joint agreement to purchase around 250 new fighter jets. Such a large order would likely attract the attention of the European Eurofighter consortium. Due to limited availability of...

On the occasion of SAAB releasing a pretty video featuring this aircraft, perhaps it's an opportune moment to start a dedicated thread on it also.

The last aircraft designed by Swedish aircraft manufacturer "ASJA" (Svenska Järnvägsverkstädernas Aeroplanavdelning) before becomming "SAAB Linköping" was a fighter project, numbered L-13, in 1939. It was similar to the ASJA L-12 conventional single-seat fighter (later renamed SAAB 19), but...

Hello everyone and welcome to my first construction report in this round!
Saab was working on a high-performance fighter at the end of World War II. The aim was to exceed the performance of the Saab J-21. Initially the idea was to install the RR Griffon engine in a J-21 - but it didn't work...
In early 1970, the Aussies sent a request to Saab that they wanted to procure the in-development fighter variant of the Saab 37 Viggen (JA 37) as a replacement for their aging Mirage III. Saab got green light for export and sent classified preliminary documentation in December 1970. Swedish...

I'm working on making the JAS-39C Gripen for a game called DCS. The only problem here though is that the gripen is plane that few know about. And therefore it's hard to get information on the HUD symbology and stuff like that. So if anyone has material, please help me out! Would be super happy...

Taurus KEPD 150 SLM: Ship launched...

HSwMS Östergötland isn't mentioned in the article, but presumably it will receive the same upgrade as HSwMS Södermanland in due course.

So, a few years back SAAB posted a bunch of pictures of a series of small craft they'd designed, possibly just to show off their Sea Giraffe, CEROS, and EOS family (part of the 9LV combat system).
There were three ships in total:

I am looking for information on the development of the J-27, specifically if any portions of the aircraft were ever constructed (even at a mockup stage).
I know the plane was never completed but I don't know if any parts were made - can someone help me with that?

Note: I know there already exists a thread about SAAB designations etc but that thread also includes other companies besides SAAB. Link to thread. While i understand why those companies were included i personally think we should have a thread dedicated to each of them separately as they designed...
