	The SAAB JAS-39 Gripen
		In June 1992, SAAB got the go-ahead for building the two-seat JAS-39B, and the government formally signed off on the option for 110 more Gripens, which were to be built to an improved "Batch 2" standard.
		The Gripen is a canard configuration aircraft, with a cropped delta wing with a sweep of 45 degrees, and all-moving canard forewings with a sweep of 45 degrees and dihedral.
		SAAB was forced to seek international sales for the Gripen, as the Swedish government contract for the fighter was so tight-fisted that Gripen International's president, Hans Kruger, once said he'd "lost his shirt, tie, and jacket on the Batch 1 deal."

	Science Fair Projects - Saab Gripen
		Gripen is designed for the high demands put on flying performance, flexibility, effectiveness, survivability and availability the future air combat environment will put.
		Gripen affords far more flexibility than earlier generations of combat aircraft, and its operating costs will only be about two thirds of those for Viggen, in spite of it being able to in all areas perform at least as well or slightly better, and in some cases much better.
		The specification for the Gripen says that must be able to operate from 800 m runways, so actual take off and landing distance is significantly less, and since early on in the programme, all flights from Saab's facility in Linköping are flown from within a 9 m x 800 m outline painted on the runway.

		Several layouts were studied, in the end an unstable canard layout was adopted, as it would give the greatest benefits to performance, because it gives a high onset of pitch rate and low drag enabling the aircraft to be faster, have longer range, and carry a larger useful payload.
