dsawan Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Anyone done this one? if not, it is a request. During the 1970s, Saab proposed a new variant of the Viggen, designated the Saab 37E Eurofighter (unrelated to the later Eurofighter Typhoon), for the United States Air Force's Air Combat Fighter competition to find a replacement for the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter. The 37E Eurofighter competed against Dassault-Breguet's proposed Mirage F1M-53, the SEPECAT Jaguar, Northrop's P-530 Cobra (based on the Northrop YF-17), and General Dynamics's YF-16;[90][91] on 13 January 1975, Secretary of the Air Force John L. McLucas announced the YF-16 had been selected as the winner of the ACF competition.[92] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_37_Viggen Quote
Sheriff001 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 I understand there is a Viggen in progress. Quote
PFunk Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 That would be awesome if we got a Viggen here. Quote
dsawan Posted January 23, 2017 Author Posted January 23, 2017 what would the US loadout look like for it in '76? as well as a navalized version for US? Quote
+angelp Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Not sure but maybe it will look like this. 6 Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) as a USAF bird could be interesting. USN highly unlikely though in game, too much rework needed to navalize (single wheel mains, ditch the thrust reverser for weight, change and strengthing the nose gear for catapult use) at least for a realistic venture USMC would be interesting too tho since many features for the Flygvapnet would play to what the Marines like in equipment Edited January 23, 2017 by daddyairplanes Quote
Sheriff001 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 USMC would be interesting too tho since many features for the Flygvapnet would play to what the Marines like in equipment And the lack of naval interest would enhance that, since the USMC would get to keep the Viggens (surely not Thunderbolt III) for themselves, rather than 'losing' them to carrier deployments.

+angelp Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 This one is the one I proud of, I thinks its not modelled yet to the game in this or any other site, The SF-37 13 Quote
jeanba Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) I really love it Here are some info I had on performances : From Air Fan, n°96 (November 1986) on the Viggen J-37E : Mach = 0.7, load = 2 sidewinders Sea level turn radius = 3350 m 6000 m : 6.3 degrees/s As a comparison : for the F16A seal level : 1370 m radius 6000 m : 10.7 degres/s (with 2 sidewinders) Another information on peformances : the AJ-37 takes off in less than 400 m at a speed of 290 km/h and aOa = 13 degrees, with no load except central fuel tank Edited January 24, 2017 by jeanba 1 Quote
sixstrings Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Awesome aircraft ! A nice addition... Quote
Trotski Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 I love Swedish aircraft, Viggen and Draken are just beautiful aircraft, we need the SAAB 17 and a SAAB 105 to complete the SAAB stable in SF........ Quote
PFunk Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 This will make a very welcome addition to the library of aircraft in this game. Great work, sir. Quote
