SAAB Gripen: the world's fastest turning fighter jet? (RIAT 2019)

  • This was the performance that won the Swedish Air Force pilot and plane the King Hussein Memorial Sword for best overall flying demonstration at the air show.
    A quick turn at high speed requires enormous 'lift' forces from the wings (ie perpendicular to the wings), and this causes the amazing condensation clouds and vortices over them.
    The JAS-39C is significantly lighter than most of its type, which is a big advantage when changing direction rapidly.

      Every AirForces are choosing the most skilled and talented pilots to represent them, it's only a story of machines differences after. Both the Gripen and the Rafale, are very maneuverable aircrafts, very nimble and agile, thanks to their unstable Delta wings configuration, with canards.

      Gripen är fortfarande svenskt, och det är Saab som har intergrerat alla komponenter, oavsett om bränsletankarna är Franska, eller om motorn är Amerikansk, eller om kannonen är Tysk.
      Om vi här i Sverige hade påbörjat ett stort projekt för att kunna göra egna jetmotorer så hade det bara kostat massa onödiga pengar när man istället kan ta en motor ifrån USA.
      Samma sak gäller för resten av grejorna.

      That's not exactly true according to the facts.
      The Saab gripen is made with more than 60% of parts from other NATO countries, so their own fighter jet is kinda big words.
      At the moment we're talking, there are only 3 countries capable to built a fighter jet from A to Z, it's America, Russia and France.

    Which you also can see when Gripen keeps it´s speed in the turns.
    All other looks like they brake heavily at each turn, even while maxing two engines with after burners.
    Gripen is simply ahead of all the others, in almost every aspect.

      Gripen is an excellent all-purpose solution fighter. To say that it is ahead of all the others is to exaggerate. Gripen does a lot of jobs very well. Perhaps one of the most well rounded fighters on the planet, price tag and running costs included. But there are a lot of other fighters that perform specific roles better. Far better. So it really comes down to how much cash you want to plunk down on developing, building and operating stuff. Keeping a lot of specialized equipment also has it's downsides, cost notwithstanding.

      @@fexilsehn6445 : By fiat, if you're doing 50 AoA it means you're a porker or doing stuff at low speed. Either way, wing loading is way to high and you're not generating enough lift. 50 AoA is probably way past the critical stall for any wing. Technically AoA on input only happens when wings cannot generate enough lift to push the aircraft into desired direction fast enough. If a aircraft maintains all energy in a turn by wings only, it won't create alpha. Maintaining control in a high AoA situation, for example when deliberately bleeding energy is another matter altogether. There the F-22 excels, whereas the Gripen does not. High AoA is not impressive in turns. It's the other way around. It's like saying that sliding sideways on a racetrack is faster the bigger angle you've got. The F-22 makes up for a lot of things with big ass engines. Having a lot of power means you can compensate on lost energy.

    The canard wing design have clear advantages because it eliminates the more or less negative lift of a tailplane design. A canard design is much more aerodynamically efficient and the biggest advantage is the instant response of a positive pitch input giving immediate nose up moment by lift from the canard. Relaxed (but artificial) stability gives this effect, so this design is much more agile.
    A tailplane design must first introduce a downforce, then as a reaction it's main wing gets an angle of attack increase for more lift. That's not so efficient, regarding both response and drag.

    I love the SAAB Gripen. It is a relatively low cost, nimble, advanced fighter. I don't know if it's the fastest turning fighter, but a thrust vectoring canard design is very hard to beat. Pilot training and experience would be a huge factor. Only a head to head maneuvering competition would answer the question.

    You can see every moveable part of the aircraft constantly moving. This is because it’s designed to be unstable. It relies on some heavy technology and data to constantly adjust or else it would just spin out. This is why the early models in the 90s lost all ability to steer and crashed. Twice. Simply because the systems failed. Of course it has not crashed for more than a decade now.

      #2 - The Me 262's engines were a completely new technology at the time, thrust vectoring is an improvement to existing technology.
      #3 - In real life, everything has Pros and Cons and that goes for thrust vectoring too: it means superiority in virtually nothing else than close air combat, which today happens rather rarely. On the downside it means higher cost in acquisition as well as in maintenance, more parts to go wrong and it adds weight. So, if it's not world domination you're after, your defence budget will probably be a lot smaller than that of the US and that'll make you think about how to best invest your money.
