| SAAB JAS 39 Gripen in flight |
 |
The Gripen is designed for performance,
flexibility, effectiveness and survivability
in air combat. The designation JAS stands for
Jakt (Air-to-Air), Attack (Air-to-Surface),
and Spaning (Reconnaissance), indicating that
the Gripen is a multirole aircraft that can
fulfill each mission type.
Flying properties and performance are
optimised for fighter missions with high
demands on speed, acceleration and turning
performance. The combination of delta wing
and canards gives the JAS 39 Gripen good
take-off and landing performance and flying
characteristics. The totally integrated
avionics make it a "programmable" aircraft.
The Gripen also has a built in electronic
warfare unit making it possible to load more
ordnance onto the aircraft without losing
self defence capabilities.
