Because so many of you have watched this video, I've edited a 'Part Two' from the second take off and taxi, I hope you enjoy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QrfdZ8PMCv4.html , this video has had 80K plus views but only 30 subscribed so please subscribe and turn on notifications ready for the second part, thanks.
And pilots learned that in hard way. But after that pilots were trained to do it. And because wigs act like giant kite, or airbrake, they do so long nose up landing.
When I was a child, sometime around the age 7-12 (1967-1972) my grandmother (dad’s mother) lived pretty close to F18, a fighter wing south of Stockholm. When the Draken jets swept over my grandmother’s huge garden, as they would land at F18 - I got scared every time. 😭 Not because they were fighter jets, but because they were so goddamn loud and flew approximately some 200-300 meters above me. Well, back then there was not a single requirement that the population close to F18 should live “in a quiet neighborhood”. Well, guess what. My other grandparents (mom’s parents) lived close to Sweden’s biggest commercial airport: Arlanda ESSA/ARN. There’s no surprise that I today love stuff that flies. 🤪
Alongside F104s the Draken was the planes of our national airforce when I was a kid. Back when supersonic over land was still allowed. I was, and still is, a big admire of them both. The 104s looked amazing flying only a couple of meters above ground, at high speed. And seeing the Drakens playing fighting over the lokal fjord.❤
So cool. What a lovely surprise. I love this and the Viggen, which was one of my all time favourite aircraft as a child. I built the Airfix 1:72 scale kit and it 'flew' many thousands of hours round my garden on sorties! 😊 I still love seeing these aircraft when they visit RIAT. They still seem potent and just look amazing.
@@intheairwithpaul Ha ha! Sadly not. It survived a good many years, but as with so many from my extensive collection, it no doubt suffered some unfortunate accident or mishap and was eventually disposed of. But I have the happy memories of each and every kit I built. I learned a huge amount about aircraft design and detail from those models. It's a great instructional hobby and so much better I feel, than just computer gaming. I never saw the attraction of computer games. Somehow , it just doesn't tick the right boxes for me. Thank you for your reply! 😊
Waow cool that he retracted the gear 5 metres over the ground and shut of the afterburner almost at the same time. Saving fuel I suppose. Otherwise you can watch the fuel gage moving... But in my view the 37 Viggen was even more before its time. The only fighter jet to have had radar lock on the SR-71 and with a top speed unknown to all, because it was still accelerating until it was out of fuel...
I don't know if it's just rumor or true story, but they say Mig-21 had similar "problem", it never got real top speed because it run out fuel faster it could fly. And structural integrity couldn't handle more speed. True or false, it was a beast of its's time. Like Finnish pilots say, it goes like hell but nations borders aren't big enough to turn it around.
Well, accidentally. It was a solution to an unpredictable little habit of Draken; stalling easily at high alpha. Instead of trying to work against it, the test pilots learned to go with it and make that "jump". Skilled and inventive pilots figured it out, basically forced to by their own survival instinct. But it sure looks cool!
The Rockwell B-1 Lancer has small canard vanes or fins on either side of the forward fuselage that form part of an active damping system that reduces aerodynamic buffeting during high-speed, low altitude flight. Such buffeting would otherwise cause crew fatigue and reduce airframe life during prolonged flights.
“Anyone can learn to drive a car, only a few have skills to be Saab-pilots….”. Saab owners used to say like that back in the day. Beautiful airplane, smaller than you might think - at least compared to Viggen. 🇸🇪🇬🇧
Ironically these days Saab fighters are without a doubt the easiest to get into a start flying. In my own experience and from what have been said by other pilots it is one of the most intuitive designs today.
