Wow :shock: some great planes there Rules ...Thanks. :)


And the Saab DOES look amazing. Wish we had it ingame. Any idea when it was in service? Take it it was the 50's?

OT
Just scrapped our probally last Saab 900, great tank of a car.........Oh but the black Turbo16v was sexy.

Had 5 in 15 years. Not so crazy on the GM versions, so thats it I'm afraid :( .

8) Yes it is nice eh?

Number Delivery In service
made
J 21A-1 54 1945-46 -1949
J 21A-2 62 1946-47 -1953 Improved avionics. Swedish made 20 mm gun.
J 21A-2 62 1947-47 -1954
A 21A-3 60 1947-48 -1954 Primarily intended for ground attack.
A 21A-3 60 1948-49 -1954


Saab wanted to gain experience with jet engines, and decided in 1945 to convert a few J 21A-1s to jet power powered with de Havilland Goblin 2 engines which were ordered from Enland.
The aircraft to be converted were taken from the assembly line before they were finished. Optimistically it was thought only 20% needed to be redesigned, but closer to 50% had to be changed. First prototype flew in 1947 March 10.

The main aerodynamic differences were the the tailplane were moved up to get away from the exhaust and the wing leading edge moved forward and made sharper. A totally new wing was cancelled on cost grounds.

The air force planned to order 120 but only 60 were ordered in 1947.

(J)A 21RA 30 1950-50 -1953 English made engine
