The Saab JAS 39 Gripen is a
light single-engine multirole fighter aircraft manufactured by the
Swedish aerospace company Saab. The Gripen has a delta wing and canard
configuration with relaxed stability design and fly-by-wire flight
controls. It is powered by the Volvo RM12, and has a top speed of Mach 2
Saab rolled out the first Gripen on 26 April 1987.On 9 December 1988,
the first prototype took its 51-minute maiden flight with pilot Stig
Holmström at the controls. During the test programme, concern surfaced
about the aircraft's avionics, specifically the fly-by-wire flight
control system (FCS).The ensuing investigation and flaw correction
delayed test flying by several months, resuming in December 1993.

Holmström an der Steuerung. Während des Testprogramms tauchten Bedenken über
die Avionik des Flugzeugs auf, insbesondere über das
Fly-by-Wire-Flugsteuerungssystem (FCS) auf. Die anschließende Untersuchung
und Fehlerkorrektur verzögerte die Testflüge um mehrere Monate und wurden im
Dezember 1993 wieder aufgenommen. |
