	Saab Viggen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

	AutoWeb - Saab 9-3 Viggen
		The Saab 9-3 Viggen sports tourer is a new high performance variant of the Saab 9-3, developed to appeal to a small group of enthusiast drivers seeking enhanced driving characteristics and individual design above the offerings in the overall Saab 9-3 model range.
		The delta shaped Saab 9-3 Viggen symbol on the car's front wings is reminiscent of the 'double v' shape formed by the wings of the Viggen jet fighter.
		The new Saab 9-3 Viggen is fitted with Saab's latest advances, including driver and passenger front airbags, seat mounted head and thorax side airbags and the award-winning Saab Active Head Restraint that reduces the risk of whiplash injuries in a rear end collision.

	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.

		Saab's 9-3 Viggen, the most powerful and unique of all their models, is not for the faint of heart.
		Viggen's torque, at 258 foot pounds from 2500 rpm through 4500 rpm, gives the talented and experienced driver a nice feeling of control, even at high speeds on wet surfaces in this near-3100 pound auto.
		Viggen was built with consultant input from the British TWR Group (Tom Walkinshaw Racing), a company involved for decades in designing high-performance road cars and race cars for manufacturers around the world.

	The SAAB 37 Viggen
		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.
		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 75 KPH (47 MPH) or more for the seat to work reliably.
		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.

	JA 37 Viggen
		System 37, ”Viggen” was developed primarily to succeed the attack aircraft A 32 Lansen, when its time as a first-line combat aircraft would be over.
		In addition to the flaps fitted to the canard wing, the Viggen is equipped with a thrust-reversible engine and wheel-braking by units with an anti-skid system.
		Viggen was also ordered in two reconnaissance versions, the SF 37 overland reconnaissance aircraft and the SH 37 sea reconnaissance version.

	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.

		According to Viggen chassis engineer Sven Wernst?hl, they elected to keep some torque steer in to "allow the driver to gauge exactly what is happening at the front wheels - it's important for the driver to feel the challenge of the power." Mission accomplished.
		The Viggen adds to the standard comfort and convenience features found on the 9-3: like a power glass sunroof and automatic climate control, a Rocky fl leather interior with textured deep blue leather inserts, front power sport seats with supportive side bolsters and driver's seat memory, and a leather shift knob and boot.
		Viggen is the only car in its class with a hatchback, which provides outstanding loading flexibility and cargo capacity.

	Saab 37 Viggen
		The name Viggen means The Thunderbolt, especially those resulting from the Norse god Thor's warhammer Mjölner.
		The trainer version wasn't planned from the outset, as it was considered enough for pilots to learn to fly delta winged aircraft on Draken trainers.
		To replace J 32E Lansens in the ECM role, ten two seat Viggens will be modified for that role and designated SK 37E.

	TSN 1999 SAAB 9-3 VIGGEN - SUMMARY
		In developing the Viggen jet fighter, one of its key attributes had to be the ability to land and stop in short distances to make use of Sweden's highway bases if necessary.
		Aggressive exterior styling enhancements exclusive to the Viggen reduce aerodynamic drag by 8% (to a 0.31 coefficient of drag), and reduce lift forces over the rear wheels by 60% for superb road holding and high speed stability.
		The 9-3 Viggen Coupe's body will continue to be manufactured at Saab's factory in Trollhattan, Sweden, then shipped in a climate controlled, sealed container to Uusikaupunki, Finland for painting and final assembly at the Valmet Automotive plant.

	9-3 Viggen Aerodynamics - AutoWorld.Com
		Norcross, GA Nowhere is the connection between the Saab 9-3 Viggen and its namesake, the Saab 37 Viggen jet fighter stronger than in their exceptional aerodynamics.
		The Viggen's coefficient of drag (Cd) has been decreased a full 8% to 0.31 Cd, and Saab's chief aerodynamic engineer, Hakan Danielsson, has also reduced lift forces at the rear wheels by 60%.
		In contrast, the inverted rear wing designed for the 9-3 Viggen, with greater surface area on top than on the underside, keeps the earthbound Viggen firmly planted on the ground by creating an area of low pressure beneath the wing.

	TSN Saab for 2001: 9-3 Viggen Performance
		The incredible power output of the Viggen's engine is primarily attributable to the larger turbocharger, which produces maximum boost pressure of 1.4 bar, or a full 20 psi, and is assisted by less restrictive air intake pipes and a performance exhaust system.
		To harness the Viggen's power and direct it properly, an enhanced sports suspension - comprised of modified springs, dampers, anti-roll bars and steering rack mounts - is utilized.
		The 9-3 Viggen body will continue to be manufactured at Saab's factory in Trollhattan, Sweden, then shipped in a climate controlled, sealed container to Uusikaupunki, Finland for painting and final assembly at the Valmet Automotive plant.

	Untitled Document (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		A huge amount of time went into making the Viggen as good as it could be given its slightly questionable chassis underpinnings and just before its release, rumors of the Viggen being a 270 Bhp monster leaked out, perhaps totally fiction, but a wonderful concept none the less.
		To sum the Viggen up, it is a fine car for the most part, however the slight shortcomings in the development of the chassis put potential customers off, who presumably went on to purchase similar rival models, such as the BMW M3, Audi S6 and AMG Mercedes models.
		Despite the Viggen being removed from European SAAB showrooms, it will continue to sell in the United States until 2002, when finally the Viggen will be removed from the model line up, and will slip into SAAB's history - hopefully to be remembered by those who own and drive them as an enjoyable drivers car.

		In addition, the 9-3 Viggen's unique rear spoiler reduces lift and optimizes the aerodynamic balance between the front and rear ends of the car.
		While the Saab 9-3 Viggen delivers a level of performance and driving excitement that is unrivalled by any Saab yet, no compromises have been made in terms of driving safety and security.
		On the exterior, aerodynamic refinements give the 9-3 Viggen a unique stance that is low and aggressive, and long feature lines that emphasize the car's wedge shape give the car a strong sense of forward movement.
