I´m by no means in any way shape or form a subject matter expert on the SAAB Gripen, but I was told by someone who is that the Gripen has a very good G sustainability and that it can sustain 9 G´s for a long time, even with an A2A configuration, without bags on, of course. The pilot asks the aircraft with the stick input to give him or her 9 G´s and that´s what the aircraft will do, and due to its design, it doesn´t bleed off a lot of energy when it turns. As a test pilot once said: "it carves like a knife through the air", while some aircraft tend to skid along on its butt and bleed off more energy. Now, it does suffer a bit from lack of thrust, which will be remedied on the E-version with the GE F-414 engine. (The C-version has the Volvo Aero RM12 engine, which is a license produced GE F-404)

The F414-39E in the JAS-39E/F (new swedish designation is RM16) has equal thrust as the 25 years old USN Super Hornet basic version F414 has. Which is obviously 30% higher than the RM12 had, but unfortunately, the new Gripen went to be heavier, than it was expected oroginally, at the Gripen NG program. That stuctural weight was too optimistic, while the final Erik Gripen going to be more belly, due to the extra avionics and the strictly requires additional sub-systems. Such as extra heat exchangers, computers and of course their mounting points -> extra structural strengthens. It is a technological avalanche. The final, serial JAS-39E with the basic F414 thrust level had same or less thrust/weight ratio, as the current C/D Gripen fleet has. The F414EPE is actually orderable-ready, but even the US Navy did not interested in this version. No serial production, no manufacturing feedback, no shared development cost. The EPE is not that engine what SAAB would like to use in their cost-sensitive Gripen upgrade. Maybe, later the new owner of the swedish engine program, the GKN Aerospace will invest into the RM16 thrust upgrade, if it is required.

Great video and breakdown! I'm from Sweden so naturally I'm biased when it comes to Gripen. A little side story about Gripen display. Had the chance to hear a Gripen display pilot (not the one in this video though) talk about his work, routines and thoughts about flying the Gripen. With focus on display flight. Humble, nice and very professional guy. Funny too. Obviously, his main priority during the display was safety. However, quite high up on his list was "display value". Not only that it should look good for the audience, extra focus on how to present the aircraft for photographers. He was keen on putting himself in the spectactors view and lenses of cameras. I found his attention to those kind of details very impressive. He also had a personal routine before flying a display that he told about. Just before flight he went through the entire routine. Not only mentally - but also physically. Sort of dancing his way through the manouvers - arms out. He mentioned he sometimes got wierd looks and comments about it, but it was his way of getting into the Zone. Speaking of negative G's. I'll * never * forget that Mirage III pilot during a display at Uppsala AFB, Sweden, some years ago. IIRC he did a complete looping inverted. It has to be the most insane thing I've seen someone do at an airshow. Not a pilot myself but enough of an avgeek to know that's not good for your health. Heard the pilot was bleeding from his eyes afterwards. Again, thanks for amazing, entertaining and informative content!

The Gripen E is currently in the running up here in Canada for the replacement of the CF-18 Hornet. Competition started as the Super Hornet, F-35 and Gripen but the RCAF announced a few weeks back that it now between the F-35 and the SAAB as the Super Hornet was eliminated. Thinking of the similar rugged Northern Arctic theatre of operation here and so many unimproved airstrips all over the North the SAAB might have a shot. Not so sure we need the full Gen 5 stealth that the F-35 brings. Who knows they may come back and allow the F15EX to be submitted, stranger this have happened in military aircraft procurement up here. Great video and sure enjoy the perspective you can bring.

To add to what Mover finishes at around 4:58, when you're pulling negative your heart rate decreases because of the blood trying to pool in your brain (I've read somewhere that it can even stop, although not sure about that), where as when you're pulling positive your heart rate increases. As Mover said, the sudden switch from negative to positive is the thing most likely to induce G-loc, your heart is pumping slowly then you immediately ask it to increase once you switch to positive, but the heart can't keep up with the switch. You end up with a scenario where your brain is demanding more blood, but the heart can't momentarily supply it fast enough to prevent g-loc.

I have seen swedish Gripen (and before that Viggen) airshow displays several times. I think the low speed high AOA part of the video doesn't show the AOA right. It looks more impressive in real life. At those airshows US planes strangely never flew a display. But there were either the dutch or danish with an F-16 doing a nice display, and once a swiss F-18. Our country bought the (lowest spec) Europfighter and it's display is impressive too (mostly because of the sheer thrust). But compared to all of these it actually looked to me that the Gripen was always able to do the tightest turns. Not sure if there's the same saying in english, but it looked like the Gripen can "turn around on a post stamp". What i am missing, and there aren't any good videos anymore of it on YT is the short landing. The previous jet of the swedes had a "party piece" in it's thrust reverse system, that the display pilots used to do a J turn on the runway mid display. (with the Harrier, the only plane i ever have seen going backwards on it's own power in a display) The Gripen doesn't have that, but uses the canards as air brakes/spoliers when landing. Very impressive to look at.

Low speed AOA looks about right. It's never been comparable to Hornet, which Mover referred to. We've seen so many Finnish Hornet airshow displays alongside the Swedish to know for sure.

And, no its thrust aren’t like an F/16 or an F/18. However the aircraft isn’t meant to be built that way since its manoeuvrability comes with its Delta wing and canards. I mean, look for how long it pulled 9G in the turns. If it would have 30,000 lbs of thrust it would either hit >12G and then fall to pieces or slingshot of the planet. 🚀 It’s a lightweight fighter and has the ability to takeoff on a 1,312 ft RWY and land at only 1,640 ft (400 resp. 500 m) of RWY. That’s because of Sweden’s use of “road bases” if needed. Turn-around time is appr. 10 minutes for rearming, refuelling, and maintenance. That’s also crucial. With that above stated I would like to say that thrust and flying faster than 2 Mach (SAAB says it does >2 Mach, but won’t specify it) isn’t all that counts in a fighter’s capability. Hi from Sweden 🇸🇪

Not to take anything away from the excellent performances of the Gripen, but here is an RNoAF F-16 landing in 600-700 meters with the drag chute, nominal breaks and enough fuel to take off and head for home base about 100 km away: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4DOmYOqjLl3bc0 And just to point out, even USAF sometimes train for turnarounds in less than 15 minutes. Back in the 70s the requirement for "simulations actions" was 15 minutes while the YF-16s crews got it down to 6 minutes at Edwards. The Israelis is reported to have had it down to 7 minutes. So it is more a question of training and procedures. Likewise, I'm pretty sure a well trained Gripen crew could have it down to those numbers as well. books.google.no/books?id=VUUCz5kgNIoC&pg=PA20&lpg=PA20&dq=F-16+turnaround+minutes&source=bl&ots=mTL8cMktDj&sig=ACfU3U1brlCB0CVakCt56SEs96IVwMj8cg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjL5rD5y4P1AhWMRPEDHReKAg8Q6AF6BAgiEAM#v=onepage&q=F-16%20turnaround%20minutes&f=false

"HILL GETS SET TO SMOKE 'EM IN A.F. CONTEST By Deseret News Sep 24, 1991, 12:00am MDT It took an F-16 ground crew training for the Air Force Gunsmoke competition just under 12 minutes to ready a fighter jet for combat. That's fast, but not quite the real thing. The time was almost four minutes slower than a combat "turnaround" performed by a crew from the 388th Tactical Fighter Wing during Operation Desert Storm, said Tech Sgt. Ray Driskell. "When things are for real, the adrenaline really gets pumping," he said. "We had one turnaround crew in Saudi ready a plane for return to combat in seven minutes." A routine F-16 fighter jet training turnaround, in which new armaments are loaded and a plane is checked out and readied for flight, takes about 30 minutes. For the upcoming Gunsmoke competition, officially known as the U.S. Air Force Worldwide Fighter Gunnery Meet, the ground crew will have a maximum 18 minutes to accomplish the task." www.deseret.com/1991/9/24/18942759/hill-gets-set-to-smoke-em-in-a-f-contest

Greetings from Austria. We almost bought the Gripen in 2007 to replace the Draken but we bought the Eurofighter instead. Wonderful plane, but it is eating all the budget at once without being verry deadly because we have no money for weapons left. Basically every swedish weapon system we ever bought did run way to long and way too good. We had Saab 29, the Draken, the Saab 105 till last year, still the Carl Gustaf and now we are really considering buying the Gripen because paying 80 000 Euro per hour for the Eurofighter because of curupt politicians really pissed everyone off.

it is a wonderful machine. I spoke to a Saab test pilot in South Africa. A F16 was parked about 30 meters away and it is a monster compared to the Saab, the Saab also has a much lower profile. Both are beautiful aircraft, the F16 perhaps also winning on looks but when it comes to logistics and operating on shorter perhaps rougher run ways, the Saab was the winner. And it is more maneuverable compared to many of the bigger fighter jets out there. The pilot added that it also has some stealth technology built as I mentioned the American systems. The avionics was cutting edge and for an air force with a lower budget it is an all round great deal.

Hi Mover, thanx a lot for this video - I watched the display 1000 times - being a PC pilot (DCS) it will be the closest I'll get to doing the real thing. A few things about Gripen you mentioned / asked in the video: 1. It is a smaller than the Viper, it uses the Hornet's engine. Still Power to Weight ratio around 1. Gripen is 1500 kgs lighter (about 3000 lbs) than the Viper. 2. Used in Sweden, South Africa, Hungary, Czech, Thailand and now Brazil is receiving Gripen E's (electronically scanned radar, improved range with bigger tanks due to main landing gear moved). 3. It is the C model shown in the video by the way - The new E version has one big display like the F-35. 4. Sustained G turn is enchanced by the design of the fuselage towards the back (see video below on Gripen design kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5makIaPqM5qb9k&ab_channel=Millennium7%2aHistoryTech). 5. In RedFlag (2013 I think), it was the 2nd highest A 2 A killer, after only the F-22. 6. Gripen A,B,C and D uses the F-404 built under license in Sweden by Volvo (thrust increased from 71kN to 80 kN). the Gripen E will be using the F-414 engine ( 98kN ). See this video for so much more on Gripen design. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3nbnYt9atOXfZY&ab_channel=Millennium7%2aHistoryTech See this video for the DCS Gripen Mod - it is free and flies like a dream : kzbin.info/door/PHvWbEdj85BlYY9TLnazKwvideos And this is my own paint scheme and aerobatics display in the Gripen Mod: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIrYiGuKodlrgs0&ab_channel=RynoPotgieter

Based on google searches, the SAAB 39 Grippen weighs a lot less than the F-16. So even though it has has less thrust, perhaps it has a power-to-weight ratio that is just as good (based on the advertised numbers). The 39 Grippen max thrust is 16,500 kg verses a weight of only 6,622 kg. Therefore, the ratio: 2.49 The F-16 has a max thrust of 23,000 kg to 29,000 kg verses a weight of 9,207 kg. That makes the ratio between 2.49 to 3.15 So depending on the version of the F-16, the Grippen might be equal. The skill of the Pilot probably is the final differentiating factor.
@LuisPontes_ca2 жыл бұрын
*** CORRECTIONS: I had the max thrust units wrong. The max thrust of the Gripen is 98kn which equates to about 9,993.22 kg. So that's only a power to weight ratio of about 1.5 Also the max thrust numbers of the F-16 are lbs not kg. So when converted to kg, 23,000 lbs is only 10,432.62 kg which makes the power to weight only 1.13 (worse than the Gripen). However, the Air Force website (af.mil) says that the thrust of the F-16C/D is 27,000 lbs. So when converted to kilos is 12,246.99. That makes a power to weight of 1.33 (still worse than the Gipen). Now some google searches say that an F-16 can do 29,000 lbs of thrust. In kilos that's 13,154.18 and a p:w of almost 1.43 (and that's even rounded up). That's STILL a bit less than the Gripen! So it would seem that all variants of the F-16 have a lesser p2w than the Gripen (if you believe the googled numbers). If that were the only factor, then I'd say the Gripen has an edge, but I still think the guy in the seat is the biggest factor. Can you imagine if they could put an F-16 engine producing 29,000 pounds of thrust in a Gripen (without increasing it's overall weight)? It would have a p2r of almost 1.99 !

Not needing to carry all that extra fuel for the second engine gives a positive feedback loop where you can reduce needed thrust, reducing the necessary size of the aircraft which results in lower structural weight and lower drag, which in turn results in even less fuel being needed for the same mission, or being able to carry more ordnance. It gives you much better bang for the buck, put simply.
