Thank you! Do you think Gripen can perform a controlled cobra manouver? When I saw the crash in Stockholm close up, I believed it was just that, until the plot ejected. The idea of making a multirole fighter was not new to SAAB or SWAF. Viggen was planned to be one. But the available technology wasn't ready to make it possible. Only later the AJS 37 was possible to make.

@@atlet1 AoA limiters will likely prevent a pilot from executing the Cobra on a Gripen. And in any case it's not necessary for dumping speed with a Cobra in Delta Canards. Delta wings can already do that, plus canards can be moved in such a way to act as airbrakes. Not to mention, dumping energy with a Cobra or any other maneuver is basically suicidal in modern jet combat which emphasises keeping an energy state advantage over the enemy. Forcing overshoots only works if the two aircraft are facing off one on one (not going to happen in modern combat) and only if the plane being pursued has somehow escaped being shot down despite having an opponent glued to his six o'clock with modern missiles (again, not going to happen).

I love this channel and this video plane such a lovely design

love the channel and would like someone to tackle tank and small arms development in the same way, keep it up!

These videos really made me appreciate how special the Gripen is. What makes it great is not much that it is the most powerful modern fighter (although it's certainly no slouch). What makes it great is its unique design philosophy resulting in a small logistical footprint, while offering great EW and information sharing capabilities. I truely believe that their would be a larger amount of smaller EU countries operating the Gripen, were it not that military acquisition programs are such geopolitical affairs. Precisely because smaller European nations would rather appease the US, they often choose the F35, even if this comes at the cost of having to ditch or postpone other military procurement programs (like extending the service life of navy vessels that are already nearing obsolescence in my country). The Gripen would still be more than adequate for participating in bombing militias in the Middle-East. Sure, the F35 might be better at penetrating sophisticated air defense systems, but small nations have little business being involved in those types of missions anyway.

Love this fighter!

Hey man, i love your chanel! I reaaly like the way you present the informations. Reliable, solid and cool informations. Keep the gooreat work (specialy about grippen... i'm brazilian... so... hahahha) !!

Nice video!!! Suuuper interesting!! Keep going friend!!

The best 4th gen single engine multirole fighter aircraft along side F16s n J10s !!

This is very interesting and educational. I am stunned by Gripen's list price of $70mm, being only marginally lower than F35. I am also stunned by alleged ultra low per hour operating cost of $4000 in 2012 dollars (almost like a private jet), done by IHS and Stratpost. I will appreciate if you could dedicate a separate series of shows to per hour operating costs, and acquisition cost per expected hours of lifetime. No one has the right answers, and the estimates are all over the universe. It will take your detailed engineering mind to digest all this for us and share. Gripen is a great place to start with alleged operating cost so low. Conscript army servicing?? And if ops costs are so low, why is the sticker price so high? a single GE engine is not as expensive as others, on the cheaper side, in fact. Will great if you could share your insights and looked at this in relation to other western aircraft. Soviet/Russian aircraft are a different story, with engines having a finite life in the hundreds per hour.

Fine video again! Eager to see if Finland chooses Gripen. We use distributed network of road runways just like the Swedes. Hence, Gripen or a plane designed for operating from an aircraft carrier probably fits our needs: Short take off and landing combined with short swingspan and/or foldable wings help hiding the planes, moving them around and having even more options for road bases. For example the F-18 Hornets in Finland use the carrier style hook+cables braking if necessary. Norwegians required F-35s with a braking parachute added, for icy runways. If the Finns choose F-35 we order the Norwegian arctic variant too. JAS Gripen or Super Hornet seem the most likely winners, though there is nothing wrong with Rafael and Typhoon either.

Better than the spec sheet indicates.

Won't happen. The Indian defense procurement process is even more broken than the American system which is already ridden with graft. This is the same process that tried to produce a new rifle called INSAS and what was produced was so awful they had to buy Kalashnikovs. The same process that tried to procure an initial buy of around 100 Rafales with extreme concessions by the French towards Indian aircraft manufacturing, only to have it turn out that actually Indian aircraft contractors have nowhere near the capability to produce the subsystems necessary for a Rafale. The same process that tried to produce the Arjun tank which is inferior in cross country performance, firepower and in crew safety to peers in the region to the point that it is credibly threatened by something like the T-90 which is basically a re-turreted T-72. Add to that politicians so apathetic that they take a decade to finalise a contract, then fail utterly before finally coming to a deal, and it is clear that the "maturation" of something like Tejas is quite unlikely. What India needs is hardly new weapons systems. What India needs is the elimination of its generals and incompetent politicians and their replacement by people who actually know what they are doing.

@James Van Allen I'm seeing everywhere you are coming with this msg of why not Rafale has many customers? Well, defence procurements are mostly strategic & political decision. To date, the Rafale has lost export opportunities in Algeria (SU-30MKA - Rafale a long shot), Brazil (JAS-39E/F Gripen NG - Rafale the initial favorite), Greece (Eurofighter, then F-16), Morocco (F-16C/D - Rafale the favorite), The Netherlands (F-35A), Norway (F-35A), Oman (Eurofighter - Rafale a long shot), Saudi Arabia (Eurofighter), Singapore (F-15SG), South Korea (F-15K, Rafale won but politics reversed the pick), Switzerland (Rafale the favourite), and the UAE (F-16E/F, but could win next competition). So, you can clearly see that most of the time Rafale didn't get order bcz of politics. In March 2012, Dassault CEO Charles Edelstenne said, when asked about export issues of Rafale: “When one is in a country like India which is an open country and in which Americans do not have the same weight as countries that are their private hunting preserve, we have a chance. And this chance, we got it… The market for the Rafale, it is countries that do not want or can not buy or American countries who want to have a second source while buying American. Now all countries, except two, where we lost, were countries that did not fit this definition.”

@Millennium 7 ; Is it possible for you to do a review of stealth technology, shaping and materials and put to bed the ridiculous claims and hyperbole made about stealth technology and its real world applications, tradeoffs, and the way it reshapes doctrine? The way it is described by people as if it is a magic technology that will make planes invincible yet with detractors claiming that it can be defeated with long wavelength radar while ludicrous declarations are made by defense contractors is absolutely galling. It's clear that the vast majority of people who talk about stealth know absolutely nothing about it. Making a video using this blog post: basicsaboutaerodynamicsandavionics.wordpress.com/2016/03/04/stealth-techniques-and-benefits/ which steps through the basics of stealth shaping would go a long way but I would also say that the agitprop out there about stealth will also need to be put to bed by demystifying exactly what goes into modern stealth technology. First, changing the thickness of a layup can change the absorbed frequency of a radar signal, allowing a designer to "tune" what wavelengths are absorbed. The thicker the layup, the more absorption of radar with longer wavelengths. 5-20 dbsm reductions are achievable: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlehtml/2017/ra/c7ra02631e#cit8 Second, using continuous fiber versus chopped strands also matter. Continuous fiber produces long conductors that have a directionality to how the radar waves interact with a radar absorptive surface. If unidirectional weaves are used, which are quite common in prepreg setups to minimise weight, a surface might be extremely absorbing in a certain orientation from the radar's perspective but from another orientation it is extremely reflective. sci-hub.tw/10.1117/12.2176750 The "Fiber mat" claims by Lockeed are nothing more than using chopped strand mat! sci-hub.tw/doi.org/10.1016/j.mseb.2009.03.023 Boatbuilders making fiberglass boxes for their fishing gear are apparently now working with stealth materials according to LockMart! Third, you can vary the amount of carbon fiber by mixing in more or less glass fiber strands (that can also be made electrically conductive if you want by CVD coating with metals) and therefore tune the wavelengths at which the composite is absorptive that way: sci-hub.tw/doi.org/10.1016/j.compscitech.2018.02.001

It is as Stalin says - Quantity has a quality all of its own. There are a lot of material forces driving designers and defense contractors towards producing ever more expensive, ever more "capable" aircraft that are individually, exquisite pieces of engineering. But they're also bad machines of war. In wartime, runways get bombed, skilled technicians might be killed (or if they're corporate contractors, just refuse to deploy), missiles run out, and factories get destroyed. It makes a lot of sense to a defense contractor to farm out the work of subsystems to a thousand subcontractors all around the world because they get paid more for systems integration. It does not make sense if ships are getting sunk or shipments are sabotaged, and trade is the first thing to be attacked in war, or even before war starts. It makes sense to a defense contractor to have corporate technicians on the flightline because that's money on the table. But in war those technicians will refuse to deploy, and if the airfield is attacked, they will have no idea how to defend themselves. It makes sense to make an extremely expensive, maintenance heavy aircraft for a defense contractor, but it's terrible for an airforce that lives and dies by how many sorties it can generate. Gripen sidesteps a lot of these problems precisely because it is just complex enough to perform well yet designed in a way that is simple for even conscripts to maintain. Just enough modern accoutrements to be effective in combat yet without whiz-bang features that blow out the price for air forces and make flying them too expensive to sustain. It's a design philosophy that more organisations should adopt. Sadly, a lot of Western generals, politicians and defense companies are preoccupied with the shiny stuff.

Cost? All of these systems have metrics that can be compared against other aircraft designs. The Gripen has been evaluated next to other fighters, including the EF Typhoon, Rafale, and Super Hornet. Of all the nations that evaluated it, only Brazil has chosen the Gripen NG.

Gripen is a nice aircraft but it droped of mmrca competition because it was to much like Tejas. Nowhere as good as Rafael. It failed to accomplish all attack criteria compared to Rafael. Rafael hit all the set parameters comfortably with Eurofighter close second.

Canada is considering this and the F35 - What would your opinion be on it?

Why has the J-31 fallen off the radar since its finished its carrier trials. It looks like if the F-22 and F-35 had a Chinese baby. Seriously the J-31 cant fall off the radar even though it's designed from the information China stole from US. China doesn't have the tolerances in their machinery to create the low observable fighters so they look stealthy but their cross section is far from small. At tis time anyway.

There are plenty of news articles within the past month across nearly all news sites about the J-31/FC-31: duckduckgo.com/?q=fc-31&t=ffab&df=m&ia=web . Up to and including about a week ago on the conservative outlet, National Interest. So I don't see where you're coming from by claiming that it has disappeared from public scrutiny. If anything interest has intensified as prospects for imminent adoption by the Chinese Navy become more solid. As for radar stealth, I think you're ascribing too much to so-called "tight tolerances" to aircraft manufacture. Anyone who has been anywhere near gas turbines, wings and sensitive electronics, knows that tolerances are extremely small, down to the micron for things like bearing surfaces or phased array radar electronics. If those can be manufactured - and China has clearly manufactured stuff like jet engines and AESA radars - then the fine finishing needed for stealth aircraft is also achievable. Defense contractors make a huge deal out of things like flush riveting or no-rivet construction, resin transfer moulding, baked stealth materials and so on but this is all marketing bullshit aimed at foreign buyers in the Middle East and politicians in Europe who have zero engineering expertise so as to bamboozle them into buying planes instead of asking for license manufacturing. I would contend that any country today, with the 5 axis CNC machines, with a boatbuilding industry, particularly one that works with fiberglass, and with a developed plastics industry could build stealth airframes. And if you look at the industrial means of production that China has built up, it is clear that all these ingredients are there. Where do you think the vast majority of extreme precision CNC machines have been going for the past 2 decades? It's certainly not in deindustrialising Europe or the United States, the machines are going out of Germany and France and making their way to China. Where do you think the vast majority of electronics expertise has gone? Certainly not into Silicon Valley which has devolved into a morass of financial shenanigans, but into ShenZhen which has become the premier location for consumer and military electronics manufacture. The idea that the Chinese cannot manufacture stealth aircraft is complacency masquerading as national chauvinism. They clearly have the capability. The real question is - do they have the skilled labour and the engineers to progress these designs into production of large numbers? If the past decade of Western industrial decline counterposed by the growth of Chinese industrial dominance has demonstrated anything, I think the answer is quite evident. The aircraft might not have the kinematic performance of the F-22 given China's relative weakness in gas turbine development, nor might their AESA radars or IRSTs perform as well as those manufactured in Europe, but the stealth will be there. This is of course, assuming that the Chinese want to have a minimised radar cross section in the first place even at the expense of kinematic performance. Recall that a stealthy airframe is not necessarily an aerodynamically efficient airframe. There is a reason why the F-22 and F-35 have so much excess power. Stealth has a cost on weight, on drag, on frontal area and even on electronics cooling. The F-35 has demonstrated problems with - wait for it now - excessive weight, excessive drag leading to stabilator heating causing the composites to delaminate, excessive heat buildup causing electronics to fail. That Eurocanards have beaten both in Red Flag exercises on occasion despite flying "inferior" aircraft that emphasise kinematics over radar reflection reduction, says a lot about the relative value of stealth. It's not an "I win" button. It's a characteristic with definite tradeoffs, and not a design choice to be taken lightly.
