Flight Demonstration - Trade Tuesday Farnborough Airshow 2016
The Saab JAS 39 Gripen (English: "griffin") is a light single-engine multirole fighter aircraft manufactured by the Swedish aerospace company Saab. It was designed to replace the Saab 35 Draken and 37 Viggen in the Swedish Air Force (Flygvapnet). The Gripen has a delta wing and canard configuration with relaxed stability design and fly-by-wire flight controls. It is powered by the Volvo RM12, and has a top speed of Mach 2. Later aircraft are modified for NATO interoperability standards and to undertake in-flight refueling.

Pilot is pushing this awesome machine to the limits. Love this MRF

[@ricardoufop]

150m runway is enough to land. Simply amazing.

[@MagDiSante]

Fantastic Gripen :-) I adore combat aircrafts by SAAB: Draken, VIggen and now Gripen ... Unfortunately my country (Italy) decided to waste a lot of money buying that crappy and flawly F-35 ... :-( ... Gripen could even replace our Eurofighter Typhoon that is a very capable airplane, of course, but it also costs too much ...

[@TheSkipjack95]

Now this is a display !

[@timrogers2045]

Pure class. Superb piloting of an incredible air-plane.

[@MrCarGuy]

Beautiful flying. Just perfect.

[@s4dreamland]

I take it the Pilot flies RC Jets in his off time..That was one helluva wild ride by one helluva great Pilot! Kudos to whoever you are oh great one.......

[@wiskadjak]

I think this is the Gripen NG. More thrust & 40% more fuel capacity than earlier models. Definitely an impressive demo!

[@FunkyPizzasalladland]

The "Gripen NG" was just the test, evaluation and marketing version of the future Gripen E/F version, which is going into production in 2019, and hence no Gripen NG is currently flying today (not even the test and evaluation unit (which do not represent the final product anyway)). This is the second generation of Gripen, Gripen version C, the main version of today. In 3 years we will hopefully see the Gripen E "NG" in the air! :)

[@wiskadjak]

Thanks for the info. I'm looking forward to seeing the E put through it's paces.

[@christianm1533]

Nope. This is the standard aircraft (It is not showing turning capability at all).. The Gripen E will have upgraded everything. 20-40% more thrust depending on engine (20% on the one built now). 40% more fuel. Worlds first GaN electronic warfare suite. Swashplate AESA.. The Gripen E will be hands down the most capable bang for the buck.

[@AlexKall]

+Funky It's not going into production in 2019, 2019 is the year of the first delivery to the Swedish air force.

[@nicolasrey8791]

Great manouverability for a monotor with canards but without thrust vector control (tvc).

[@ZacharyHankins]

Awesome aircraft. the Saab,Eurofighter, and f22 are so agile.

[@dxb8086]

The F...what? In Red Flag 2014 one Gripen had four raptor takedowns. The EF had similar results. Forget that american pigeon. :D

[@bjorn55531]

but the roll and the pich is controld by the forword wing

[@jimmygudo2227]

That landing though

[@MrFlashman10]

Seemed far more manouverable than the F35!

[@WindmillStalker]

Well duh, the Gripen is tiny and very light. An F-35 is twice as heavy.

[@wiskadjak]

Pound for pound Gripen has more wing area, more thrust & less drag than a lot of other aircraft so it pull off those spectacular maneuvers.

[@mikelliteras397]

+Andreas Abrahamsson F35 pilot would never see a Russian fighter, he wouldn't have to. That's the point of it. Do you really believe they would show everything that the F35 can do? Unlike most of the fighters here, the American fighters are not being displayed to find buyers.

[@MrFlashman10]

the American did a huge job of selling the fighter when it wasn't even developed. It's already outdated and can't escape radar. It's a sales job through anf through. Generals say it will replace the A10. It can't loiter, provide support and if one is lost that's about the price of five old American carriers! Which are also dinosaours but behind all this is people making money. In the Iraq war a 10 cent plastic plate were bought by the US Army for 10 Dollars - well, that goes a little to the 3 trillion missing from the pentagon!

[@wiskadjak]

According to the Office of Testing & Evaluation (OTE) & the Govt. Accounting Office (GAO) the systems which might give the F-35 an edge continue to be defective. This includes a number of classified systems. Finally the 3F software block, that was supposed to correct all the bugs, is not, in any way, combat ready. All of the above is public knowledge & is not disputed by the Joint Program Office.

[@alexfabricio9947]

A capacidade de manobra desse caça me surpreendeu muito, espero que os outros adjetivos me impressionem ainda mais

[@marcelojf1981]

It was a best choice for my country that bought 36 aircrafts + key code for learning to do. In the future Embraer is gonna make as well.

[@ChrisBlack1]

man oh man can that thing turn well.

[@heikkimoilanen5975]

Finnish here. It's fucking good.

[@newton_netospotter]

Future Brazilian hunting! Magnificent!

[@Seneslau07]

Great video! What camera did you use? Tks

[@PasleyAviationPhotography]

Great video, thanks for sharing

[@thukodosreis7799]

great machine

[@proro1974]

it can certainly turn

[@lindhe]

Rohan Scott - "But sir, we have already done extensive testing of the turning capabilities." - "Shut up Jim, this is awesome!"

[@AlexandreFontoura61]

The best sustained turn rate

[@JC130676]

And yet, for some reason I'm getting the feeling the pilot wasn't pushing the plane to its limits except perhaps during some of the snap turns. Sweden makes some pretty amazing planes. I read that Sweden has bought some of the tech that went into the F-35 and will be using it in a new design. Now that should be very interesting indeed.

[@AlexKall]

Do you have any source of that? Because Gripen already have some of the tech that's in the F-35 and have had it since the 1990ies.

[@zorzerother]

Great show, too bad about the chem trails though :P

[@rocketman1058]

The plane seems very agile.

[@appa609]

That's what you get with the lowest wing loading of any modern fighter. A purebred BFM machine at heart.

[@laysch]

Amazing!

[@hoopstalkcentral]

the most agile and superior in dogfight among all fighters right now

[@versiculosnarrados]

perfect airplane

[@katkatanalover4923]

wow fantastic!

[@miisu]

Just wow.

[@ballyhoo321]

This thing sounds exactly like a single engine hornet

[@heikkimoilanen5975]

RM12 is a Volvo version of the GM thingy

[@tracyhaynes1455]

It's beautiful. The Rafale edges it out just a little bit for me...but this is still a terrific plane....

[@philip_wahlberg]

Fun thing the pilots doesn't say the same thing.

[@giovannyvictoria4208]

los gripen los fabriquen 5 generación con nuevas alas grafeno y nuevos motores hipersonicos y estructura grafeno y misiles hipersonicos y nuevos radares grafeno

[@heikkimoilanen5975]

Can you stop advertising i have a Volvo, but the RM12 is humppfff.... ?

[@giovannyvictoria4208]

gripe vendan 14 aviones financiado para colombia

[@dvei4938]

Why nobody outside is interested in buying?

[@AlexKall]

It's used by 6 countries including Sweden.

[@mrkhan2983]

amazing display but landing was hard .. nose wheel was banged !!

[@gustav1922]

I guess the pilot shows the stol-capability.

[@mrkhan2983]

stol or stall ?

[@Turkeysitar]

That was a pretty standard landing.

[@christianm1533]

It's a standard landing. They are designed for it. Look at the landings on videos. All Gripen landings look pretty hard and direct. They're meant to deal with the business. Not fragile.

[@zheroo1]

its swedish steel bruh dont worry :)

[@FahadAli-ew6yk]

I think jf17 is more affordable and reliable than grifen

[@jdsu6368]

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@melquicorrea550]

Now the new generation is from Brazil

[@AlexKall]

Sweden, it will however be built in brazil for the Brazilian market and possible future markets. The Swedish air force will however buy their planes from Saab and they will be built in Sweden.

[@TheSiljaLineGuy]

No...? Developed by Sweden and mostly built by Sweden. Only the brazilian ones will be license-built in Brazil.

[@heikkimoilanen5975]

the finnish airforce... of welll
