		The Saab Viggen (Thunderbolt) or Saab 37 is a Swedish fighter aircraft manufactured between 1971 and 1990 to replace the Saab Lansen[?].
		Design of the Viggen began in the early 1960s with the aim of producing a robust single-engined fighter with excellent STOL performance that could be operated from improvised facilities such as roadways in the event of nuclear attacks on major installations.
		The final Viggen variant was the JA 37 interceptor.

		The Saab Viggen (Thunderbolt¹) or Saab 37 is a Swedish fighter aircraft manufactured between 1970 and 1990 to replace the Saab Draken (Dragon).
		Canards have since become common in fighter aircraft, notably with the Eurofighter Typhoon and the IAI Kfir.) As both the wing and the forward canard provided lift, the Viggen may be considered a modern biplane.
		Viggen featured a navigational computer, the Datasaab CK37 which by Swedish means was a significant technological achievement at that time.

		Based on the regular 9-3 series, the Viggen is fitted with an aggressive front spoiler, rocker panel extensions, rear bumper cover and rear wing, all of which are added with the purpose of improving the Viggen’s aerodynamics and thus increase stability, reduce wind noise and improve fuel economy.
		However, the Saab Viggen’s greatest safety feature is probably its available power, great handling and good brakes that help you avoid an accident in the first place.
		Viggens come very well equipped with premium standard features like front and rear fog lights, cornering lights, cabin air filters, fl leather upholstery, power windows and locks, powered driver’s seat with memory, tinted glass, sunroofs on sedans, and premium sound systems.

	The SAAB 37 Viggen
		The Viggen was arguably less elegant in appearance than its predecessor, the SAAB 35 Draken, or its successor, the SAAB 39 Gripen, but it had a certain solid, businesslike, and combatitive style of its own.
		The Viggen was originally fitted with a SAAB Mark 2 rocket-boosted ejection seat with zero-altitude capability, but as demonstrated by the accident that killed Lennart Fryoe, the aircraft had to be moving at 75 KPH (47 MPH) or more for the seat to work reliably.
		SAAB was able to take their time on development of an interceptor variant, because the Flygvapnet felt the Draken would be able to carry the load well enough over the short term.

	CanadianDriver: 2000 Saab 9-3 Viggen
		The Viggen's performance tuning is by TWR (Tom Walkinshaw Racing), a British specialty company that 'tunes' cars for a number of major manufacturers including Saab and Volvo.
		The Viggen's ride is smooth, quiet and well-damped on even pavement, but feels a bit stiff over bumpy surfaces, in part because of its low-profile 17 inch tires.
		The Viggen seats five passengers and has plenty of headroom and legroom, but access to the rear seat is hampered by a front passenger seat that does not slide forwards automatically when the seatback is folded.

	About the Saab Viggen (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Saab 9-3 Viggen was developed jointly by Saab Automobile AB's Special Vehicles Operations team and the Oxfordshire, England-based TWR Group.
		Viggens were only made from 1999-2002 and were only available with a standard transmission, and limited colors (just blue in 1999, with silver and fl added in 2000, other colors like red later).
		The Viggen name (which means "thunderbolt" in Swedish) comes from one of Saabs flagship fighter jets, the Saab 37 Viggen (many people don't realize that Saab was first and still is an aircraft company).

	JA 37 Viggen, Saab
		The Viggen was designed to fulfill several roles with one basic airframe, but in multiple versions: fighter-bomber, attack aircraft, tactical recce, sea surveillance, operational trainer, and pure fighter.
		Viggen is a multi-role fighter, through upgrades still modern and with some almost unique features, in service with the Swedish air force in several versions, since 1971 and until after 2006.
		The Saab 305/Rb 05 missile is now an all round weapon, as it is rather effective against slow, large aircraft and helicopters too.

		This would look pretty cool if he were in the cockpit of a front-line military jet - a Saab Viggen, for example - but in a car, the impression is that he has donned a welding mask and shoved a vacuum cleaner nozzle in his gob.
		Never mind that the relationship between Saab cars and Saab aeroplanes is pretty tenuous these days, or that the Viggen is a bit of a steam fighter by modern standards, or even that its engine is built by Volvo - it's this or dwell on the 9-3's relationship with the Vauxhall Cavalier.
		On board the Viggen, meanwhile, all is accepted 9-3 wisdom, with a supremely logical facia and big buttons poked easily with your thick sheepskin flying gloves.

		JA37 Viggen is the only aircraft in the Viggen family equipped with a head-down-display from Smiths Industries.
		The cockpit in Viggen is a relaxed environment; automatic throttle helps the pilot to keep an optimum speed, altitude and angel at short and steep landings.
		The Tornado and Viggen are the only tactical fighters in the world equipped with this system.

		The Viggen is arguably less elegant in appearance than its predecessor, the SAAB 35 Draken, or its successor, the SAAB 39 Gripen, but it has a certain solid, businesslike, and combatative style of its own.
		The Viggen does have a ram-air turbine for emergency flight power, fitted to a door under the trailing edge of the left canard that pops out when hydraulic power is lost and (for some puzzling reason) when the landing gear is extended.
		SAAB also manufactured the old Hughes AIM-4 Falcon AAM as the "Rb-28" and the Viggen could carry heat-seeking Falcons, but this weapon was obsolescent and gradually phased out.

	Saab Viggen even comes with driving lessons - Saabscene
		Saab owners are known to be a quirky bunch who travel the road less frequently taken and who enjoy marching to the beat of a totally different drummer.
		Gas mileage for the Viggen is rated at 20 miles per gallon in the city and 31 on the highway but a recent test of both city and highway driving netted a combined total of only 21.2 miles per gallon.
		Another annoying character flaw of the 9-3 Viggen is the low-flung front skirt, an addition to the Viggen that Saab says reduces drag on the car but which drivers will think is a real drag when it catches itself on every driveway incline and makes a horrific scratching sound.

	New car reviews, road tests at CarBuzzard.com
		Contoured rocker panels are claimed to have an aerodynamic effect, channeling the airflow under the body rather than allowing it “to dissipate from the sides.” A rear spoiler, neatly notched for the rear wiper, counteracts the effects of the front spoiler by reducing lift at high speeds, restoring balance front to rear.
		Saab hung a larger turbocharger on the 2.3-liter four and installed less restrictive intake and exhaust.
		The Viggen, however, is most likely to appeal to the Saab true believer and other iconoclasts who appreciate the finer aspects of its Saabness.

	Saab AJ-37 Viggen by Piero De Santis (ESCI/Airfix 1/48)
		The SAAB Viggen is a heavy multi-role combat aircraft designed, produced and exclusively used by the Swedish Air Force.
		Introduced in the 1960s and the 1970s in all its variants, the Viggen was designed to respond to many challenging requirements as a multi-role (attack, reconnaissance and fighter) aircraft changing only the payloads, while also possessing STOL capabilities.
		The specialised variants of the Viggen are the AJ-37 for attack, the JA-37 interceptor, the SH-37 for sea surveillance, the SF-37 for photo-reconnaissance and the two-seat SK-37 for training.

	AirToAirCombat.Com: Saab Viggen Upgrades
		Viggens in service have been given a continuous stream of mostly minor upgrades, generally in the form of improved avionics and software upgrades.
		About 100 Viggens had been scrapped by 2000, and the type is currently expected to be retired by 2006, but as mentioned the Swedes really like to get their money's worth out of their aircraft, and the Viggen's predecessors had long service lives.
		The Viggen was an excellent machine when it first flew and it may remain useful, in one role or another, for some time to come.

		The Saab Viggen proved to be yet another milestone in the indigenous design theories put forth by the nation of Sweden.
		Like the Saab Draen before it (detailed elsewhere on this site) the Saab Viggen was required to operate on the shortest of runways, This was accomplished through its delta wing design philosophy complimented by forward mounted moving canard planes on either side of the intake, just behind the cockpit seating area.
		The Saab Viggen came in three appropriate flavors in the form of an strike fighter, a photographic reconnaissance model and an all-weather interceptor fighter.

	MILAVIA Military Aviation - Swedish Air Force Viggen Pilot Interview
		Viggen is supposed to be a defensive fighter, not able to engage in close dogfights.
		The Viggen had extreme low level tactics with the recce and attack versions, so that explains the number of accidents to some extent.
		I had my share in both Viggen and other aircraft, but they could have happened in any type of aircraft, so I’m just glad that it was some time ago and hopefully will not happen again in the near future.
