are there no flaps on the main wing or does the front canard do all the work? if there are flaps then he didn't use them, which would lead you to believe that the take off and landing could be even shorter.
A viggen actually landed on a road by misstake in the 80's the pilot turned around in an intersection and took off again. To the shock of a female car driver waiting at the intersection.
There where articles in the swedish papers about it.
The road actually weas a runway for wartime use if the air base's regular runway was bombed, the pilot misstock it for the regular runway at night.
Greetings. I am owner of this video which is now over 10 years old. Surprised to stumble upon it after that many years, shows how time flies :-(
Video is shot at Waddington Airshow in UK in 2000.
This was my first airshow as well as the first and last time I saw Viggen.
This was an awesome experience, especially on the short take-off when airplane banked right and the tail pipe was pointing towards crowd. It cut right through me. And the noise, uh oh!
There he backed up and turned his aircraft. The start-up it was a woman on the way out on the road while duck plane roared past. During the start blowing a few street signs off of the jet, and some window panes cracked. After investigation into the incident was never about what the pilot was ....
It is said that during an exercise in settling on a Swedish road base, it took a Viggen pilot error which route he would land on and landed on a road that was closed. but open to traffic. After discovering his mistake as he taxied to the nearest intersection.
@swec89 No, this is not Byholma. I did military service at F10 around -95 at F10 and i´ve been at large exercise in Byholma. In the background you see buildings and stuff, and Byholma was a "war-base" (bas-90) deep in the woods. At the landing strip there were only some domes for housing 1 plane, not a lot of buildings. I so miss the happy childhood with an active F-10 (military base now shut down) and the roaring fighters. I also live just a couple of kilometers from F-10.
@swec89 Ok, i missunderstood then, apologize for that!
Men du sade väl att du mindes "great stories" from Byholma, alltså du har hört om Byholma?
Byholma var om jag fattat det rätt tillhörande F-10, som en krigsbas för dom, kanske en bland många. Och jag menar då att främst själva banan å lite till kring banan tillhörde F-10, för Byholma är ju stort och har säkert fler än Flygvapnet inblandade i sig. Tex täljde vi trä-kukar och placerade ut när vi lyckades smyga osedda förbi ett fi läger!
@lazlo09 Klart man vet vad Byholma är när man bara bor en kort bit därifrån. i sin ugndom hörde man ofta maskinerna dundra förbi. Sett Tunnan sent in på 90 talet flyga rätt mycket bla.
Tråkigt nog är byholma idag totalt avvecklat. bunkrar har rivits, väglandningsbanorna har grävts av för att bli smalare och byggnader har sålts till privatpersoner och landningsbanan har jag för min Vida timmer köpte för en strunt summa på någon enstaka miljon. Saknar den Gamla goda tiden.
@yamahaevo The Saab with the Volvo RM8 which is basically a Pratt and Whitney JT8D with a afterburner like the engine in a 727 or DC9 puts out a great 28,110lbf but the latest GE F110 the GE-129 and GE-132 that power the F-16 put out 29,400 and 32,500lbf. And the new GE/RR F136 for the new F35 puts out 40,000
@trollman1111 Agreement or not. There are many stories about those flights.One is that the Blackbird crew actually sent a congratulation card or a fax to the Swedes for a job well done. The Swedes knew about 1½ hour before when the Blackbird would be coming and they almost flew the same route. The Viggen would then meet them head on. There is a lot about those encounters in the book "beyond the secret missions" by Paul Crickmore. Cool stuff. Greetings from Copenhagen.
A Viggen was said to have done Mach 3 with a radar lock on a SR-71. I dont blame it. The Viggen is a missile. And it has reverse thrust which a lot of modern aircraft dont have nowadays.
@G777GUN Mach 3!? The Viggen?? I don´t think so. It is not built by materials that can stand such heat. But it is true however, that the Viggens several times had locked on SR--71 on patrouls -- but it was a kind of agreement they had with the Blackbird crew who slowed their aircraft so The VIggen could practise missile lock. Only the Viggen and The Tornado has reverse thrust.
The Swedes sure know how to build it tough. That landing! It's like a carrier trap without the arrester wires. Viggen was one of the best cold-war fighters ever built. It didn't need a huger support infrastructure, was easy to maintain, and it was relatively cheap.
Heavy, but expertly flat on the landing mate.................... Anywhere I can buy some new brake pads around here ????????????? LOL. Nice. Well done Pilot !!
A closing valve at the end forces the air to puch forward, trough the hols in the side at the jet Exhaust.. work as a break and some % of the air is moving forward so you can drive it backways... :)
Viggen was designed to carry heavy loads of clusters and like the opened files no longers closed, both Hiroshima-classed nukes, but also over 80 times stronger. If Sweden needs nukes in the future, a single 39jas can carry the payload whats equal to10 nagasakis, hot fueled plutos........ How many months before Sweden nukes thegriffins... I hope its under 200 days....
@kulmedfarbrorful Viggen could link up and share radar signals with another Viggen via ground based transmitters. That made it possible for one attacking plane to turn off weapons radar etc, that could give away position, and attack straight on without detection, The plane itself had a very low frontal radar profile. The other VIggen with radar on could concentrate just on staying at safe distance. With 900 of these planes in the end of the 60ies, it was a factor to consider in the Baltic Sea.
@riverman83 It may look that way, but the Gripen would litterarily run circles around the bulky, conventionally controlled Viggen - and it can carry a heavier payload on top of that.
@riverman83 > But Viggen cant compare with Gripen in any thing.. That was why it where built.. Not just because The defence need something new or replace the Viggen.. It´s made for higher speed, shorter start/landing, better and more inkl andvanced weaponds, more flexible, funktional and dynamic.. Then the Gripen is smaller doesn´t matter at all, harder to se and follow.. Much much more practical.. But Viggen is still an amazing plane that would still be usefull if upgrade to be more modern.
It is cool to be able to land on a ship without bungheeeeees... but the US think backworries, but thinking back can be good....... (ifyou <re good).....
Wow, that was impressive! Never have seen a jet do a display like that before. The profile of the aircraft is like none other. Like some supersonic flying T-Rex or something!
@95predator But 100 fighters is more than most airforces have, and the Gripen has three versions built in one aircraft...that gives the SwAF about 300 aircrafts of strength...and don´t forget that it´s one of the most advanced aircrafts in the world. So the swedish airforce is one of the best airforces today.
@mittshiett Yes, and bearing in mind its communication and awareness systems are integrated with the Erieye AEW system it proved a very agile force to recon with in the Red Flag excercise in -08
@911205KW Ehh no? according to the swedish airforce there is 54 (A), 12 (B), 56 (C) and 12 (D) a total of 134 Gripens. And a DC version doesnt exist, if you´re thinking of the newest its called NG version and is only a test/demonstrator for SAAB.
@911205KW No sweden have 134 Gripens, i´ve looked it up on the swedish airforce homepage. 7 Squadrons is in active duty. Trust me I live in sweden and will begin my military career now in january. There is not any order on the NG version yet, but probably there will be in the future. India and Brazil are interrested in it, as of Sweden. But the NG version will replace the older models, not increasing the quantity of aircrafts. The plans is to maintan 100 Gripens in the future within the SwAF.
No, the road system was a main part of the Swedish defense. Not as "emergency" landing strips but as being used as main air bases. Sweden had over 100 road bases when it was completed (BAS 90). That meant it was basically 2-3 fighters per air strip. The idea was to have a dispersed system where the enemy could´nt defeat the air force while bombing them when they were on the ground....
Yes, well, by emergency strips I meant that they would be used in a warlike scenario, or in actual combat.. exactly as you yourself explained. And to me a war or warlike situation is very much an emergency.. that's what I was told when I was in the Swedish Air Force / Flygvapnet anyway.. :) Mind you, that was many years ago.. :0) Last time I saw the equipment I used back then, it was at the F10 Museum.. as part of the collection.. sigh..
@salesman990 they were not meant to be all top secret, just do damn many, to dispersed with to few aircraft to be worth the effort of bombing them in any meaningful way.
Nevertheless, it would occupied 400 soviet front-line attack-aircrafts and the fighters they would had needed 24/7. First of all, they did´nt have that capacity, 2nd of all. If they did, that would have meant they did not have fighters to attack any of our other facilities, such as the coastal artillery etc. It´s all a matter of priority. And Sweden built such a system that forced the enemy to sacrifice many priorities...
@nudeheaven I think that what BasicModelling meant was that the airstrips were to be used in an emergency of war. That's how I've understood it to be, anyway! Not for emergency landings. Sadly the Swedish Air Force these days is more of an Air Farce.
Lägg ner snacket om Viggen på ett hangarfartyg. När man som pilot får flyga med på internationella flyg så används dem som är i tjänst och anpassade för syftet.
Rykten jag hört (Rykten, lägg märke till det) säger att någon gång under 80-talet så landade ett Viggen på ett Amerikanskt hangarfartyg utan Wire-krok eller stopp nät, och lyfte sedan utan katapult.
tänk på att ett hangarfartyg (nimitz class) är ca. 330m långt och kan gå i +30 knop och om viggen skulle kunnat ha kopplat in sin thrustreversing redan i luften hade det förmodligen varit möjligt.
@jimmypojken > Hangarfartyg ligger ju kring 400+ meter.. Och Viggen klarar landa/lyfta på 400 m, men det blir jävligt tight med cm.. Typ fram hjulet tippar över kanten :) Men fullt genomförbart om hastigheten blir rätt varje gång.. Men att det inte sker är ju p.g.a dels att många lär falla överkant och hamna i havet.
Skulle en svensk pilot utan erfarenhet av att landa på hangarfartyg i ett flygplan som aldrig tidigare har landats på ett hangarfartyg, tillåtas försöka landa på ett av världens enda supermakts största, dyraste och viktigaste tillgångar? Vad tror du?
Som jag sade, ett rykte jag hörde. Dessutom så är det ju inte som om amerikanska hangarfartygs piloter föds med förmågan att landa på skepp, dom tränar på vanliga flygfält med markeringar och så. För övrigt så tror jag nog jänkarna designar sina hangarfartyg att tåla en smäll från ett crashande plan, annars vore dom ju rätt puckade. Och med Viggens STOL kapacitet kanske det skulle kunna funka. *Shrug*
@carlberg2006 > Har du hört en JAS i verkligheten? Fett åskdunder x10 när man hamnar bakom den.. Omöjligt att vara diskret med en JAS.. Men med en hastighet på mach 2.4 så lär man inte se den många sekunder.. Och så har man fått ett inferno av kulor och bomber + mer innan dess och då e den borta innan man uppfattar händelsen.
@911205KW Saab gripen flyger inte mach tal 2,4 på låg höjd. På låg höjd ligger den på runt 1,2 vilket är fantastiskt. Om du ska up i mach 2,4 måste du flyga på runt 12000m Höjd.
@snoken90powerkiing > Jag sa inte specifikt att den gör det på låg höjd.. Jag sa att den har kapacitet att klara mach 2.4 om förhållandena är ultimata, annars ligger toppfarten strax över mach 2+.. Det avgör flygförhållandet. Självklart flyger man inte så fort lågt. Men huvudsaken är att den har kapacitet men det sker på högre och tänkbara flyg situationer. D.v.s mycket sällan.
När den är i luften spelar det ingen större roll vilken färg planet har för det kommer synas ändå men däremot när planet står på marken så är det svårare att se på flygbilder osv. Att den har grön-camo beror alltså på att den inte ska synas så bra ifrån luften så att ingen kommer dit och bombar skiten ;)
om har camo på över sidan och gråa under. För om man ser den underifrån så ska den se ut som himlen och om man flyger lågt eller planet står på marken så ska dom ovanför ha svårare att e den!
Det är tack vara bl. a. dessa tjusiga maskiner vi en gång i tiden faktiskt hade ett försvar värt att respektera. Nu när hela världens åter smått börjar koka vore det kanske klokt att hejda det här vansinnet som pågår idag, en i princip total nedrustning. Vänta bara tills Ryssen ligger ute på Östersjön och guppar, trånandes efter den charmiga, lilla kalkhögen Gotland, ivrig att annektera för gasexportens skull.
Putin kan säkert sända några glada miggar o gossar för att ge oss ett nytt försvar.....Mona Sahlin o de andra kommer bara buga o bocka o säga yes Massa, Welcome Massa. We have free asylum for you and all your relatives. Isnt it anything more we can do for you Massa?....
Dont wanna brag or something.. But Ive actually been sitting in a J37 Viggen in November last year.. Im just feeling so proud.. And just for the record.. the plane is HUGE!!!
Vill Inte skryta eller nått.. Men jag har fått sitta i ett Viggen förra året.. den 18 november.. Stolt är man.. =).. och bara så ni vet.. PLANET ÄR SJUKT STORT
Ein Flugzeug, welches "rückwärts Einparken" kann. Die Viggen ist eine Schönheit. Und ungeheuer wendig. Sie wäre auch von der Bundeswehr genutzt worden, wäre Schweden Nato-Mitglied.
non de dieu la gouache que ça a un viggen!!! par contre le micro semble souffrant lol et sinon j'ai pas tout compris vers 0.22 , on dirait que l avion fait une marche arriere avant de re décoller
I was born in Gävle, i watched those birds play when Uppsala vs. Söderhamn was on (F-14 and F-15 i believe) The sound of a viggen is good, but 5 or more of them... get it?... :D

@salesman990 they were not meant to be all top secret, just do damn many, to dispersed with to few aircraft to be worth the effort of bombing them in any meaningful way.

Nevertheless, it would occupied 400 soviet front-line attack-aircrafts and the fighters they would had needed 24/7. First of all, they did´nt have that capacity, 2nd of all. If they did, that would have meant they did not have fighters to attack any of our other facilities, such as the coastal artillery etc. It´s all a matter of priority. And Sweden built such a system that forced the enemy to sacrifice many priorities...

@nudeheaven I think that what BasicModelling meant was that the airstrips were to be used in an emergency of war. That's how I've understood it to be, anyway! Not for emergency landings. Sadly the Swedish Air Force these days is more of an Air Farce.

Rykten jag hört (Rykten, lägg märke till det) säger att någon gång under 80-talet så landade ett Viggen på ett Amerikanskt hangarfartyg utan Wire-krok eller stopp nät, och lyfte sedan utan katapult.
Någon som kan bekräfta detta?
BigSwede7403 2 years ago
Det är nog "sant" om du har ett hangarfartyg som är typ 400-500 meter långt. Nä det är inte möjligt eller sant.
jimmypojken 2 years ago
tänk på att ett hangarfartyg (nimitz class) är ca. 330m långt och kan gå i +30 knop och om viggen skulle kunnat ha kopplat in sin thrustreversing redan i luften hade det förmodligen varit möjligt.
keuschh 2 years ago
@jimmypojken > Hangarfartyg ligger ju kring 400+ meter.. Och Viggen klarar landa/lyfta på 400 m, men det blir jävligt tight med cm.. Typ fram hjulet tippar över kanten :) Men fullt genomförbart om hastigheten blir rätt varje gång.. Men att det inte sker är ju p.g.a dels att många lär falla överkant och hamna i havet.

Skulle en svensk pilot utan erfarenhet av att landa på hangarfartyg i ett flygplan som aldrig tidigare har landats på ett hangarfartyg, tillåtas försöka landa på ett av världens enda supermakts största, dyraste och viktigaste tillgångar? Vad tror du?
ThisSpitefulSnake 2 years ago
Som jag sade, ett rykte jag hörde. Dessutom så är det ju inte som om amerikanska hangarfartygs piloter föds med förmågan att landa på skepp, dom tränar på vanliga flygfält med markeringar och så. För övrigt så tror jag nog jänkarna designar sina hangarfartyg att tåla en smäll från ett crashande plan, annars vore dom ju rätt puckade. Och med Viggens STOL kapacitet kanske det skulle kunna funka. *Shrug*

Nej, har inte hänt. Lumparhistoria. Teoretiskt möjligt, ja, men praktisk omöjlighet.

Tanken var att köra viggen fram till 2015 2020 med den senare versionen JA som kom början på 80 talet.
Men kalla kriget tog slut och man banta försvaret + spara massa pengar m.m. = godnatt för viggen.
Håller fullt med att viggen e Brutal. Speciellt motorljudet.

@carlberg2006 > Har du hört en JAS i verkligheten? Fett åskdunder x10 när man hamnar bakom den.. Omöjligt att vara diskret med en JAS.. Men med en hastighet på mach 2.4 så lär man inte se den många sekunder.. Och så har man fått ett inferno av kulor och bomber + mer innan dess och då e den borta innan man uppfattar händelsen.
911205KW 1 year ago
@911205KW Saab gripen flyger inte mach tal 2,4 på låg höjd. På låg höjd ligger den på runt 1,2 vilket är fantastiskt. Om du ska up i mach 2,4 måste du flyga på runt 12000m Höjd.
snoken90powerkiing 1 year ago
@snoken90powerkiing > Jag sa inte specifikt att den gör det på låg höjd.. Jag sa att den har kapacitet att klara mach 2.4 om förhållandena är ultimata, annars ligger toppfarten strax över mach 2+.. Det avgör flygförhållandet. Självklart flyger man inte så fort lågt. Men huvudsaken är att den har kapacitet men det sker på högre och tänkbara flyg situationer. D.v.s mycket sällan.

Så sanslöst illa att dom inte behöll Viggen istället för att skrota dom.

RidgeRPG 2 years ago
När den är i luften spelar det ingen större roll vilken färg planet har för det kommer synas ändå men däremot när planet står på marken så är det svårare att se på flygbilder osv. Att den har grön-camo beror alltså på att den inte ska synas så bra ifrån luften så att ingen kommer dit och bombar skiten ;)
DiegoAngelus86 2 years ago
om har camo på över sidan och gråa under. För om man ser den underifrån så ska den se ut som himlen och om man flyger lågt eller planet står på marken så ska dom ovanför ha svårare att e den!
