Product Description
The Saab AJ37 Viggen: A Cold War Aviation Pioneer
The COBI Saab AJ37 Viggen #5915 set brings a Swedish combat aircraft to life. It’s the AJ37 Viggen, a single-engine multirole fighter. This plane redefined aerial warfare in the Cold War. Saab developed it in the 1960s. Preliminary studies started in the early 1950s. Then, in December 1961, the government backed the project. The goal? Replace the Saab Lansen and Draken. It served in attack, reconnaissance, and interceptor roles.
Key Innovations and First Flight
The prototype flew on February 8, 1967. It featured a groundbreaking design. For instance, it had the world’s first production canard-delta wing. This boosted maneuverability. It also improved short takeoff/landing (STOL) performance. Sweden needed this for dispersed bases on highways and roads. Powered by a licensed Pratt & Whitney JT8D turbofan (Sweden’s RM8), the AJ37 hit Mach 2 at high altitude. Additionally, it carried bombs, rockets, and missiles.
Production, Service, and Legacy
The first production AJ37 joined the Swedish Air Force on June 21, 1971. In total, 329 Viggens were built by 1990. Variants included attack (AJ), reconnaissance (SF/SH), trainer (SK), and interceptor (JA) models. Upgrades in the 1990s turned many into multirole AJS37s. These had advanced avionics and flexible payloads. Service lasted until 2007. The AJ37’s “double-delta” wings stood out. Its thrust reverser enabled quick stops. Fly-by-wire controls were ahead of their time. These influenced fighters like the Eurofighter Typhoon.
