The problem is that there is great pressure to fly prototype aircraft before the advanced fly by wire systems are bulletproof and in this case before all the computer code was finished. This is a beautiful example of an advanced fighter aircraft and a worthy successor to the Saab 37 Viggen. For the record the XF-22 prototype also had a similar landing problem brought about by incomplete computer code .
The pilot DID survive! He only suffored a broken elbow and minor scratches. The pilot later explained why he didn't eject from the plane; It's a safety mechanism that makes sure that you can't eject from a plane that is upside down when under 140ft, if you did, the ejection seat would crush the pilot. So when he realized that he couldn't recover the plane, it was already too late to eject...
hell no, i doubt he survived that, Gripens do have great power, but when the pilot pulled the stick too hard, it pulled up at a high angle and stalled out. and you can tell that when it was going off the runway, it caught some airflow underneath the wings and started to roll. and then it hit the cockpit a little, id be suprized if he survived, but for now.... rest in peace and god bless him
The pilot survived with only a broken wrist. He was testing the J-39 Gripen when the fly by wire system failed and he was unable to pull out. He actually survived another crash with the same plane at an airshow for the same reason and ejected to safety.
Yep- we arrived late to help Britain against Germany in two world wars. Hope we don't make the same mistake again. Next time, I hope we let you out of your own mess. By the way- the Brits are known for the great dental hygiene and their great food. LMAO
u must be embarrased that the USMC alone numbers more than the entire British Army and yet we're regarded as the finest fighting unit on the planet. ur shitty delta force u see in games like call of duty is nothin on the SAS. the SAS hav won acclaimation durin the iranian embassy hostage crisis and the battle of tora bora. ur shit obese yankie delta force with their hillbilly shotguns are fuckshit
what is it with you yanks and teeth. the UK has the same dental service as health service so it doesnt cost us directly to see the dentist, we go for check ups every 4 months and clean our teeth morning and night. just cus you yanks are hollywood false celeb god obsessed. you got fake teeth that are unaturally sparkling snow white and look pathetic. teeth are bone, bone isnt pure white, theyre for eating not a fashion accessory. and brit food? ive travelled the US and its full of fat dumb fucks.
typical yank. coming into the war thinking the USA saved everyone. you do it in WWI and WWII. Britain hasnt needed a fighter ace since 1945 because we aren't the ones gettin involved in other countries affairs. this is why britain is the USA's only ally. I mean after all, we still own you and can revoke your independence
Well, You Brits can come over the Atlantic anytime you want to try and revoke our Independence. I think you'll get your ass whipped worse than in 1789!! Plus... didn't you Brits give up your gun rights? Americans have 200 million guns in the private sector alone. Anytime you want to try an invasion, be my guest. LMAO
But you sure needed our ammunition, small arms and artilliary that you received under the "Lend-Lease Act" during WWII. Without us- you would have been throwing sticks and stones at the Germans.
Now- since you are only 17 and not yet an adult-please be quiet and let the adults talk.
But we are the only country that had the technology to go to moon over 40 years ago. And what wonderful space program did you Brits come up with? LMAO.
Well he could not do much about this software bug, but maybe he should not have ejected as fast a few years later at the Water Festival in Stockholm. The plane was leveling out and maybe would have made the unexpected & unplanned low altitude cobra without eject and crash...
that was my dad right there: his plane got out of control, and he didnt go around, because if he would have throttled up, he would have lost control even more, and the crash would have been worse. My dad got away with 3rd degree burns, a concusion, and a broken arm. Hes lucky, and Im happy hes alive.
DAMN IT, MAN!!!.....pull out and GO AROUND! Typical results for a botched approach and trying to save it....throttle up and abort would've been much better...Just STOOOPID!!!....anybody know if pilot survived???
it's a pilot-induced oscillation you fool. the split second time delay between pilot input and hydraulic actuator response causes the pilot to correct any sudden movements, but the timing of it all just keeps exacerbating the problem. jeez.
I wish you people would stop talking out your arses. What do you know about flying a fighter jet? For some reaason, you always say you know exactly what the pilot should have done, but I highly doubt it's ever as simple as you make it sound.
Not true. American aircraft have zero-zero ejection capabilities, meaning that if you were to eject at ground level, your chute would deploy in time to save your life. This isn't a US aircraft though and, given China's tendency to devalue human life, I doubt they have high quality ejection systems.
Actully the new fighter planes have very awkward designs which make them invisible to radar but very unstable which the calls fot programs that allow the pilot to focus on the job of shooting or searching rather than just getting the plane right. These softwares are so sesitive that they can help the pilots with near;y impossible manuvers. i suppose it makes the fights fly like a training propeller plane
Yeh but in this case I've even heard that it was the software, you see this aircraft was a test fighter for saab that had poor software and thus poor control on finals.
yah man...im sorry mr pilot ...not your fault it the software ..i know i know!! ...i would take the comment off if i could but i wrote a cover up comment on top of it.....and plz i would like people like banjo to shut up ..plz...and sorry
it's sweden jas-39 gripen prototype crash due to Pilot induced oscilation. some fault with software, remember, that was prototype, this same thing happend with usa f-22 prototype same thing - software
It was software flaw in the avionics. PIO or Pilot Induced Oscillation in short.
Both flight control computer and pilot tried to pull hard simultaneously -> Stab servos couldn't follow the rapid movement -> stabs lagging more than 180deg in phase -> negative feedback-loop into positive -> oscillation -> crash.
thats a gripen allright. really have no idea what that pilot was trying to prove. his approach was fine that it went bad. notice how his afterburner is one when he rolls. got a good feeling it was a south african development pilot.
thats not an afterburner, thats soil getting sucked through the engine. u can tell there was what looks like a strong crosswind just of centre but still a strong one. the pilot looks like he pulled up but wasnt expecting the controls to be so sensitive as the wind was stronger than normal. this caused a baloon landing which i see my students do all the time but this one was recovered badly.
That was the worst landing attempt ever.
