@ggl2525 Hi there, short take off and landing capability can comes handy when a plane uses highway or main road to land. The viggen makes this job exceptional.

[@thimmpy]

viggen is the only one with such high effectivness where it really makes such a significant difference, and where you can reverse very fast if you would want to (why would you? just an example)

[@ESPirits87]

Viggen is as far as i know the only single engine jet fighter in the world with thrust reverser.

[@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32]

Why would you? Simple, runways are expensive and often not where you need them. Any straight road can be a runway with the Viggen, it requires the reverse thrust to navigate the small roads IE do U-Turns and stop quickly.

@@voderick lbf is a mesurement of force - Horsepower is a mesurement of energy. In that sence they are not convertible. You can convert a jet engine's effency to hp, if you compare the trust made by a propeller, and what horspower is needed to create it. The problem with this is that a propeller's effecency decreases with speed - the exact opposite compared to a jet engine.

[@MajSolo]

Viggen is one of the best airshow attractions. The sound when afterburner is on is more low frequency so you feel it in your stomach. Gripen has a more high pitch sharp sound hurting your ears. But Viggen feels good ... literally. So if you see this single remaining Viggen on the menu go ... just go go go there and watch. Try stand as close as you can to get the feel.

[@Arthion]

Even more fun is that the Volvo RM8 engine is essentially a heavily souped up P&W JT8D, an engine found on many commercial planes like the DC-9. Kinda ming-boggling to think about imo.

[@Skracken]

I think there's actually two airworthy Viggens flying with the SWafHF, this AJS37 variant, and another SK37 two seater variant

[@icenijohn2]

@@Arthion That's similar to the BAC 1-11 airliner being powered by Rolls-Royce Spey turbofans that also were used in the RAF's Phantoms. I used to fly in 1-11s between LGW and Rotterdam in the 1960s, and the Speys had the same deep crackling roar as military aircraft with afterburners. The 1-11s also had water injection for added takeoff thrust, so maybe that's what made them so loud. Fun times!

[@Arthion]

@@icenijohn2I forgot that the Spey was originally a civilian engine and not a military-turned-civilian. Still, I think turning a civilian engine into a military afterburning engine that can handle supersonic speeds, particularly as one of the first low-bypass turbofan engines in military use, and also by a company that has so far mostly built engines under licence with some modification is rather neat.

[@blackroberts6290]

And they don't need that much braking than other planes in it's era, cause they sometimes tip over when braking while the reverser is active.

What is the miniature "propeller" it has on the right side? (looking from the front) Reminds me of the RAM air turbines for big aircraft.

[@claesmj]

It's the fold-out emergency generator (or Ram Air Turbine, RAT). It generates electricity if you lose power from the engine. It works like an auxiliary power unit but runs on the air speed instead of fuel. If I remember correctly, it's 8 kW

[@weirdshibainu]

This is how I thought I looked everytime I pulled my SAAB into the garage

[@jimb4090]

Had a Flying Tigers DC8 back up off a closed taxiway back in the 70s at Yokota AB Japan. Working tower during a mid shift and Tigers were notorious for not switching from approach to local with any sort of alacrity. Well, this time it bit him. Never looked at the NOTAMS. He sat there for about 5 minutes before we tried contacting him asking if he'd like a tug....enjoying every minute of his discomfort. My guess is he was consulting his Dash 1 for reverse use so he came back after a minute and said he had it figured out....all four of the reversers deployed and with a mighty roar started to shudder slowly backward. Made the turn back on the runway and then taxied to the end and off on the parallel twy. Never said a word to anybody or put anything into the tower log so he's good to go...

The best Viggen-pilot in the mid 1980 (S.A.) had his own tactic. When he was hunted from behind he just looped very quickly and then ended up behind the ones who was hunting him. Still today the tactic in most air-forces is to break left or right if someone hunts you from behind.
