    I remember working on those planes in the 80-s when doing my military service, realising It was a really great period of my life. And it was. J35 Draken still is a stunning beautiful plane.

    For me this is the most beautiful jetplane ever made..and I remember them patroling the swedish borders during the s.c "cold war" in the 70-ies....it still flies with honor.

    It was fantastic to see this plane live again, last time I saw Draken flying it was somewhere in the nineties when FiAF was still using this plane. What a great plane, I hope Swedes keep this beauty flying many years still, great piece of an aviation engineering. Congrats for good camera work, great video.

    Growing up in Sweden during the height of the cold war we were treated to low altitude flybys of residential areas by these menacing birds several times per year. It's a sound I haven't heard in decades. Very nostalgic.

  • @anderslind6833
    @anderslind6833 5 ปีที่แล้ว +44

    One interesting fact: Theoretically this aircraft had no limit to the max speed.
    Because the RAM power increased faster than the drag.
    In reality, lack of fuel limited the max speed.

      @noc1891 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      there is a another doc about draken were the we had some french pilots(and planes) doing some training and 2 draken was gona catch up for the training and they went like full throttle, when they were like 4km(or so cant rem) away they throttled down and still passed the 2 french pilots by miles =) so it was one of the fasted planes of its time.

  • @TurboLerssi
    @TurboLerssi 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I have been head first into an intake duct to a Draken. It was defunct, not-running one but still it was an actual, piece of history that flew for the Finnish Air Force. I went as far as I could, before I went back and scraped my nuts while I was pulled the rest of the way out. That was back in 2014-2015. I've also almost gotten my nuts burnt by the control wires at the top of the airframe by sitting at the wrong spot with the covers removed and the controls being moved. My nuts have gone through more things than Sids in Age Age, and that's only with Saab Drakens.

  • @sparkydog2
    @sparkydog2 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The draken were also used by the austrian militiry.....I watched the draken at the airshow at 30th of august 1999 in graz/austria - a great plane!

      Here's something that might even make you like it even more. Draken means dragon in swedish. Possibly the coolest name of a fighter ever.

    • @vikx512
      @vikx512 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Acctually "Draken" in the case of the J35 means "Kite" like you know "flygande drake" not dragon.

    • @jeff-gl1yx
      @jeff-gl1yx 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      vikx512 it means “a dragon” “the dragon”. It’s not named “flygande draken” now is it?

    I marvel at Sweden, a country with a small population but the industries they have in producing top class automobiles in the likes of Volvo and Saab, and jet fighters such as Draken, Viggen, and currently the Grippen. No other small nations can be compared to Sweden in terms of such technological breakthrough except Israel in some aspects.

    • @finntastique3891
      @finntastique3891 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I totally agree. I have the highest respect for SAABs aircraft engineers, who bere behind J-29 Tunnan, J32 Lansen, J-35 Draken, J-37 Viggen and JAS-39 Gripen.

    @jonjonsson6323 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    These always meant a risk of war when i grew up, the roar of ten of these up together is massive and i was pretty afraid of a division of them passing. J35j upgraded version was active to 1998, and could have gotten a new engine after that but more effort was put in to gripens agility. Compared to viggen these never got same material problems so they could have been flying still but the complex mechanical inside was in need of modern solutions and thus too costly . Still they have several benefits over many other planes so i hope they make a new model. The strangest thing about these is that they do turn pretty fast without a forward wing wich suits high speed, a very proper design. The export versions did not always utilise missiles as the home wersions had and probably led to an early decomission even though not really justified.

  • @gurra63able
    @gurra63able 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is it true that it was never possible to peak the speed on J-35 Draken for the fuel always ran out before the speed started to level out (bingo-fuel)?.

  • @roteba1
    @roteba1 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    A Fighter that could equal the performance of the BAC Lightning on literally half the power!

    • @LRRPFco52
      @LRRPFco52 ปีที่แล้ว

      BAC Lightning had faster take-off and climb rate because it had 2 Rolls Royce Avons, whereas Draken has 1 Avon (most people don't realize the Draken was powered by the Rolls Royce Avon). Draken is under-powered, but has superior aerodynamics to the Lightning. It's almost half the weight of a Lightning, so a more efficient design.
      If we were to approach it with modern construction methods using carbon fiber spars, runners, and skin, with a modern engine and DFLCS, it would be a rocket ship and less prone to deep stalling. Beautiful airplane though.

    • @Dimetropteryx
      @Dimetropteryx 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Because then you would need an aircraft twice as big to accommodate intakes and fuel tanks twice as large and you'd double the maintenance requirements. And you'd be able to build half the number of aircraft and you'd have to have a longer runway. Now, WHY would you want two engines?
      If you ever get the chance to stand next to one of these in real life, you'll notice how tiny they really are. They don't need two engines and they wouldn't gain anything from it.

    We trust in Finland in Swedish technology as the fighters and cars which goes well in winter too. Sadly Sweden has droven blueeydly it's own military force down! In the 70's Sweden had the fourht strongest airforce in Europe. Draken and Wiggen are both oldfashioned fighters now but maybe the Gripen X should be the next Finnish fighter.
