THANK YOU FOR NOT ADDING MUSIC!!! So many airplane videos ruined by a music soundtrack. Nice to hear the engine, wind & pilot.
AeroNevin It's the official SAAB TH-cam channel, I can't see a why they would put a soundtrack.
On the contrary, companies are generally trying to sell something or build their brand, and music seem to sell. But thankfully this feels less than an advertisement than other Saab and bofors military technology videos.
You truly get to see how much physical and mental effort goes into flying one of these sky beasts

At first I thought you said "engine wind"
Doing a sustained 9g not even 100m above the ground. Absolute mad lad.
@@thiagoracing but the name "andré" is only used as a french name sooo i'm not 100% sure he's brazilian x)
Well modern planes have all kinds of sensors that are constantly making sure the pilot is conscious and if said pilot passes out then the plane will automatically level off and gain some altitude.
That's probably around 500 meter if not higher
The 9g is still crazy tho at such low altitudes
@@abes3925 you make it sound like it's somehow trivial what he's doing, because it has safety backup systems.
The pilot sounds like me when the elevator is broken and I have to walk up to my flat.
maritomppa123 I was thinking he sounds like someone trying to hold a poop in a long elevator ride.
Gold ..😅😂🤣🤣👌👌👌👍Second Best comment ever!!!
the G-forces on your body alone walking up those stairs would make any pilot jealous.
Dad to son "No you can't have a car for your 17 birthday"
Son "Pilot noises"
me when I have to walk up the stairs lmao
I needed a g-suit just for watching this in my chair.
xD
I'm on a fighter jet's chair without G-suit.
So did I 😎
absolutely so am i. but i don't sure even modern g-suit can helps with negative g.
going from -3 to +8 has got to be quite the tummy adventure
Värre än Biltemakörv.
I can tell you what kind of adventure my tummy is going to have there.. along with the throat, mouth and oxigen mask :P
Better than going from +8 to -3
I was more surprised with the camera being able to withstand those adventures, including going upwards of +9. Even if it's solid state, it's still a consumer grade device.
I felt breathless just to think about it, imagine going through it
his breathing says it all.. that is hard work
Indeed it is. I only fly aerobatics in glider planes, max g-load for a short time is maybe 6g, and this only when i make a mistake and have to pull hard out. Most of the time i'm between 2- and 4+. But after landing everytime again i feel realy groggy.
His breathing sound quite different from those G-tester training videos about US Navy and Air Force pilots. They teach them to breath in and out very shortly and pressing some "K" sound when breathing out.
@@bmiko3387 The ones you see in the G-tester are beginners I assume because proffessional fighter pilots can do it without the "K" or they do it but not as apparent as the beginners.
Keep in mind, they are wearing a mask and a helmet which could muffle the sound
@@bananajoe3669 y
This is incredible and it makes me more appreciative of what fighter pilots go through when they are on missions. It really is the military job of kings.
The sound of the fighter pilot add so much to this video. From the ground, or in a movie, it seems to be so easy. But with the sound from the pilot it gets to a completely new level. What an amazing task they perform. I guess none of us can imagine how it is to be at work at +9G. Hat off for all fighter pilots, you are very special.
These fighter pilots are absolute physical peak condition. Without that, they would splat. Most of us have no idea what 9g even is and would pass out way before that. Most of us could not even move at those forces even if we would not pass out somehow. Had a beer with a fighter pilot once, his neck muscles were insane.
@@inso80 it wouldn’t go so far as to say peak physical condition. It more so comes down to good baseline strength and endurance as well as (most importantly) consistent exposure. A bit over a month ago I felt awful pulling 4-6 Gs. Now, I don’t even have to do AGSM and need only to squeeze my quads and core. I’m in good shape, but it did nothing for me until I had sufficient time in the cockpit. That’s why flight time is so important.
The average person cannot handle 9G Force
@@abdomohamed-nc8jm Statistically speaking, the average person is a perimenopausal 8kg overweight woman, so you're right.
Well said!
5:36
That 11 seconds 9g pull was sick AF
This man is not human
Thanks for including the pilots breathing! It shows how difficult it is rolling all those G's in quick succession. Great video.
In other videos you can sea the pilots face. especially in acrobatic flying. It's like being tortured for fun. XD
It looks like there’s someone else in the cockpit holding the camera, so this could be their breathing
@@RandomNumber141 you're kidding, right? That camera is clearly attached to his helmet.
You can see the camera in the mirror at 7:43.
Snoblitz Gotcha. The camera bounces around relative to the helmet so it wasn’t apparent the two were connected. Half of me figured this was a single-seater jet but the other half couldn’t figure out the camera perspective or movements
When you can feel his struggles through his groans...
-3 to 9g is nuts
I can only imagine but it would seem to me that the nuts are working hard trying to stay in the right place.
@@dantorre1683 thats not the problem,the problem is how tf is the plane able to take off with the sheer size of his balls
JustAPetrolHead Gripen is the answer.
That moaning is him just performing a breathing technique to force his blood to go to his brain so he doesn’t lose consciousness. He’s saying “hook” he closes his Glotis when he says the “K” in “Hook” for about 2 seconds, after that he exhales out and the finishes saying “hook” this just repeats
I don't consider it struggling, like the other gentleman said he was doing a breathing technique trying to keep the blood in his brain so he won't pass out
In warthunder: “Pulls 5G for a microsecond”
_Lost control_
you need to train pilot i have same problem in F86F- 40 JASDF
12g's for like 3 seconds
Haisen 11Gs in my Lightning F.6)))
If anything War Thunder is too lenient when it comes to pulling Gs
18 g in P 40 :)
As a humble aviation enthusiast without any stick time, I’m really amazed by the flight control system in Gripen. It seems really precise and and smooth, compared to some other types with fly-by-wire. It might just be my impression though. This pilot is obviously incredibly skillful, regardless.
the quick succession of spins and the precision of those half spins is just amazing.
When 8 mins feels like 3 hours in a gym.
I think like a day in Guantanamo
its should be a month in alcatraz
You mean the other way around?
hey look 777 like
I felt them like a seconds.
I just came back from flying in a figher jet as a tourist and I just have to say that this is CRAZY. I am a fit 30 year old male, and even 4.5G for 6-7 seconds was really tough on me. The highest I hit was 6.5G for about 2 seconds and I can tell you I was glad when those 2 seconds were up. The fact that this guy pulls 9G for like 10 seconds over and over again while maneuvering the plane brilliantly is just crazy. Big big kudos to all the figher pilots out there. Damn impressive.
@@receppolat1711 'a lot' is better than 'much' in this sentence :)
which Jet did you fly with? this is one of my big dreams to fly with a fighterjet :)
U must be weak, like most males nowadays, to say 4.5 over that short period was difficult
The headline is that this jet can sustain a 9g turn like that. F16 will only hold 6.5g. F35 a miserable 4.95g. If the US hadn't come over all 'stealth' they'd have been making euro canard designs as well for the last 25 years.
@@phatbusted
you don't even know how 4.5 G feel
Now I know that being a combat pilot is tough work every second in the air. Before I thought it was just like playing a video game, even though I already know about G-Force, but after seeing this video and hearing the pilot's voice I can imagine how heavy it is. All my respect to all the combat pilots in the world, wherever you are ...
Yeah, imagine your head weighing 5kg, add a helmet, then go 9G. How much does your head weigh? :D
Can we just talk about the fact that a 10T fighter plane just went to landing to a complete stop in like 300 meters , those brake are insane
Ever heard of a parachute?
@@Daniel-wd4zx I higly Doubt he use the drag chute for the Air show . I went to many air shows, jet fighter usually never use them since the runway is long enough for them to be able to land without it and it save time and money to just land normaly
Good observation. The Gripen was designed for the Swedish system of bases of which many are just reinforced stretches of ordinary Swedish roads (just slightly wider than usual; with slots for parking the planes over a widespread area to avoid pre-combat losses). A typical road base is 16 meters wide and 800 meters long and the plane is designed for a 10-minute turnaround (incl. fueling and loading).
No parachutes. The landing gear comes with crazy efficient carbon-fibre brakes and is strengthened (just like its predecessor, the 37 Viggen), to cope with the forces of short landings. Also, there is a pair of air brakes near the end of the fuselage and - the Gripen signature brake - the canard wings are tilted down to shorten the landing even more.
I just reacted to that myself. 😊👍🇸🇪
@@Daniel-wd4zx Doesn't have a drag chute.
Nothing compared to the GForce i felt when my gearbox fell out my Saab 900 at 70mph.
this made me fucking laugh thx mate
LMAO that caught me off guard
Jesus that made me laugh that came outa nowhere😂
Bloody Saab 900s, the seat on mine tore out of the floor which left me upside down in the back foot well with the seat on top of me.
I had a SAAB 900 once. I was going from Gothenburg to Jönköping. One brake-circuit failed as I started the downhill into Jönköping. Every time I touched the brake the car moved sideways to the right. Bit hairy.
I had a SAAB 900 ONCE.
This is one of the best airplane clips i have ever seen. Excellent footage, the simultaneous views, excellent sound with pilot breathing, the huge clear G meter with super refresh rate. Cannot be much better than this. And the flight is really breathtaking as well. Very Well done SAAB!
agreed...loved the helmet view and low level flying above the town
Verkligen, hade vart smutt med höjdangivelse också dock. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Och hastighet :)
Pilot: *Exits plane*
Doctor: I diagnose you with -Dead-
Civilians: goes to the gym on a regular basis for a workout
Fighter pilots: pulls 9Gs on a regular basis for a workout
I'm pretty sure fighter pilots spend more time in the gym than the average guy that just wants to get laid.
You don't have to be a musclehead, but being in good physical condition is one of the requirements for being a fighter pilot. You're gonna have a rough time putting up with this shit if you're really out of shape :)

Leica jaye Francisco For those who wish to know, the pilot is performing the HIC technique. He is using his torso to force blood to his brain so he doesn’t experience g-LOC (G-Force induced Loss Of Consciousness).
All combat aircraft pilots of this type, have to train relentlessly so that the HIC technique is used instinctively.
@@taylorh.3484 Which AF is this?
Wow this is a completely unique video, showing all this info in one video. Even though we don't have any Gripen in the RAF (I'm from England). I'm glad that we are allies with a country with such an awesome aircraft!
Being a fighter pilot was one of childhood ambition. I would return to watch this video every once in a while to live up the feeling! Great video
The -3 G to 9g is crazy
Safety? This is a Saab, not a Volvo!
Jup, even some older jets generally have some sort auf autopilot/ground avoidance system that stabilizes the jet. Only makes sense, considering these things are 100% computer controlled and all inputs get processed either way.
Although it might obviously depend on the kind of maneuver that knocks out the pilot, and how fast he regains consciousness. No clue how reliable these things are.
Even World War II planes had auto-stablization.
En Person HAHAHA den var bra ;)
Hope you know that when Saab was still in business and developing new cars in the early 2000's they were outperforming Volvo safetywise. The 9-5 was the safest car in the world at that time
nice weather, nice landscape, nice plane, nice piloting skills - probably the best airshow video I‘ve ever watched.
Stadtpark90 not an air show, probably just g force testing on the aircraft
They regularly do this kind of stuff right outside where I work, including some formation flying on occasion. It's great. Saab test airstrip.
One of the important things I'm noticing is the amount of spin he can put into the air-frame and the fuel, then pull hard G sustained and no fuel starvation. Another thing I noticed is the limited amount of input he is giving but due to ergonomics has full control under strenuous conditions. The high AOA pass had such a smooth transition into it.
gripen has "zero g" aux tank, essentially an small pressurized buffer tank to avoid fuel starvation for sustained periods

Big respect broo
The most impressive thing is not the airplane pulling g-load so quickly but the fact that it is sustaining it for so long… This requires hell of a power. Amazing video and unbelievable skills!
That was like a full cardio workout for him
This must be one of the better, if not the best video of aviation on TH-cam. The sound, on screen information and performance in general was amazing!
And we just sip coffee watching it from ground... True hard work and dedication.. salute to you.
Salute to you sir ! I thought you were going to pass out ! Unbelievable to struggle with your breathing and put a top class performance. Nothing but admiration for you.
Can we get more POV footage from Gripen? It looks epic.
I pulled 4g for 4 seconds in a fighter jet joy ride. Combined with the aerobatics, I was vomiting for 3hrs straight and lost all balance.
This guy is superhuman. Amazing.
You were flying or was it someone else?
@@tasinal-hassan8268 He said it was a joy ride and he couldn't handle it, so he isn't a professional fighter jet pilot.
@@Rouhollah74 So he is a Pilot nonetheless?
@@tasinal-hassan8268 I have no idea.
Tasin Al-Hassan fighter jet joy ride means he was a passenger, why would a defence force entrust someone with a million dollar aircraft to throw up at 4g?
That one circle turn radius is mad! New Zealand needs the Gripen.
This is also the first video I've seen and I've seen many, where the pilot is pulling g's throughout the whole video, that must be absolutely exhausting; even on his landing you could tell he still didn't seem to have fully recovered. What a guy!
-3G to +8G in an instant, that no effin walk in park. :) Gripen is a nasty piece of aircraft.
Some crazy hard G-pulling going on here. More than in typical air-to-air encounter. Usually high initial G's for first pass, then longer sustained lower Gs for the rest of the fight. Pilot and plane get hammered here!
A typical air-to-air encounter only involves high-G if you're about to get hit by a missile and you know it. The rest is general nice lazy 3-5G maneuvers while slinging missiles at the people you don't like. Even in a dogfight, as it were, the plane would have more fuel and payload weight on board than it did here, and performance would be much different because of that.
Wait till you see the E version of Gripen 😉
The most intense flying video on youtube, amazing!
super impressive pilot skill
I'm probably gonna sleepytime at 3G, whilst this guy is having the time of his life....
hahaha I had the same thought. Watched him pull 3G for a bit and was like "oh ok, I could probably handle th... and there's 9G... yep I'm out. Fuck."
jurpker ive experienced 3.5 G and up untill there it really aint bad, i just couldnt lift my head and your arms and legs are noticably heavier. After my centrifuge experience, i have a lot more respect for these pilots. Like they can pull 6+G and still look around
G-suit helps a good deal.
Literally anyone can hold 3Gs it gets much worse after
@@kyrz5411 is it exponentially worse?
Really amazed about the turning circle at the end there!
help to bleed airspeed before landing :)
Love how SAAB incorporated twin rearview automobile style mirrors into their design. No need for the pilot to have to "throw a switch" or take hand off the "stick" and keep his eyes completely forward. Very simple and elegant solution. Typically SAAB.
Lots of fighter jets have those.
literally every fighter jet has that
Spectacular! Thanks for sharing this amazing experience.
This thing literally speeds up when pulling sustained 9g turns. How the hell does it do that? Ive never seen that before and its supposed to be impossible. Plus that has to be the fastest roll rate of all time. This thing is no joke. Its tiny but holds a shit ton of bombs/missiles and its fast.
It's has extremely laminar airflow. So it looses little to no energy when turning. If you look at airshows you'll see all these bathtubs turning showing extreme underpressure over their wings and creating boiled steam. All the ppl will go like "Oh cool". But it's actually rubbish. It means the aircraft is bleeding energy because it is loosing lift when creating alpha. You'll be hard pressed to see videos of the Gripen loosing laminar airflow. Even at extreme instantaneous and sustained turn rates. It carves air like nothing else.
@@christianm1533 Hmmm maybe you should take a look at the hraph demostrating the lift/alpha in the most basic principle of flight book... There is no such thing as loosing lift as you increase aoa unless you're above stall aoa and not flying anymore, and those over wing vapors you talk about are here because of the low pressures at high aoa, and it's those low pressures that makes a plane fly, it doesn't mean a plane is bleeding speed (and certainly not lift), it means that the plane generates a lot of lift and that the pressure is low enough to generate vapor in the current atmospheric conditions. Any plane can generate such vapor, I've seen it quite a lot over airliners wings that were certainly not bleeding speed. Planes will however bleed energy during tight turns because as aoa and lift goes up, so does drag and the engine is not always powerful enough to overcome that. BTW it's nowhere near supposed to be impossible for a plane to sustain 9G without bleeding speed or even accelerating, many fighters especially the rather small, light and powerful ones (Gripen, F16, Rafale, Mirage 2000 etc) can do so in some areas of their flight domain. It's not always at a speed that gives it a great turn rate tho. I can't find anything as to why the Gripen would have a more laminar flow than others but what certainly helps it with drag is the close coupled canards that help arranging the airflow over the wing like on the Rafale, and it's light weight. F16, Rafale and Gripen displays for example are more dynamic and seem to bleed less airspeed than heavier F15, Su27 etc because they're lighter, it's easier to manover a knife than a middle age sword, it has less momentum
FoxMikeHotel: Stall of wing flow is not the same as stall speed of the aircraft. But stalling the aircraft usually means that the wing has stalled the airflow. The opposite does not apply. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stall_(fluid_mechanics).
First line:
"In fluid dynamics, a stall is a reduction in the lift coefficient generated by a foil as angle of attack increases"
"Stalls depend only on angle of attack, not airspeed"
"The critical angle of attack is the angle of attack which produces maximum lift coefficient. This is also called the "stall angle of attack". Below the critical angle of attack, as the angle of attack increases, the lift coefficient increases. Conversely, above the critical angle of attack, as angle of attack increases, the air begins to flow less smoothly over the upper surface of the airfoil and begins to separate from the upper surface."
When you delaminate flow, the wing has technically stalled. Does not matter if that happens at supersonic speed and the aircraft has plenty of energy to regain normal flight as AoA returns. And no, underpressure by delamination does not make a wing fly better. It means it's loosing massive amounts of energy to create lift it cannot. It is still creating lift, but not nearly as efficient as it should be. Hence the massive underpressure pocket and turbulence. And yes, you are loosing massive amounts of energy to gain the pointing nose capability. Maybe you should actually learn fluid dynamics? Aerodynamics is mostly a subset of fluid dynamics.
Technically Gripen hasn't more laminar flow by drag coefficient aerodynamics only. The flight system does not allow normally allow turning faster than that the wing would maintain nominal airflow and maximize energy momentum. Double D Canard configuration help with lift when turning. Gripen has the largest canard proportional canard size of all Double D canard aricraft. Which should be more than enough.
@@christianm1533 th-cam.com/video/GAPI06akPGI/w-d-xo.html well, I dunno then... seemed to me that it only depends on pressure and humidity...
@@krylatich: I said hard pressed, not impossible. It's still physics. :) And that is a vapor vortex from the front, not an underpressure pocket over the main wing. You can easily see that by the pulsating appearance and disappearance of the vapor. A high AoA when creating alpha will lead to that pocket, you'll also see a much "heavier" turning. Like butt-heavy. Vapor vortexes are not the same. You'll see vapor vortexes from the F-18 LERX:s for example. Bleeding energy when turning with an underpressure pocket happens over the main wing and can be pretty visible in dry conditions and clear sky. Of course moisture helps to see both phenomenons.
You've got a fantastic pilot there!! Pulling 9G for so long is not an easy thing to do, I can only dream to be like him ;(
Wowww - Never seen this before - really unbelieveable !!! Also the sounds of the pilot -THANKS Saab - greetings from austria
That last manouver he does just before landing when he's like power sailing in the air is fucking insane. Completely bleeding off energy in full control.
That is aviation at it's best
Thank you for not adding music or cutting between camera angles every five seconds, like so many other videos. Nice to be able to actually see exactly what's going on.
That short turn to final though :O
I know that's what I was like "whoah!" at
2 minutes in and he's hurting.
What an absolute mad lad.
Very, VERY impressive.
Other video makers take note..this is how you do it.. natural sound of aircraft + pilot = perfection.. absolutely loved it
Very difficult maneuvers indeed. One of the best cockpit view video I have watched.
Thanks.
Loved every second of that, thank you for sharing! Skills and spatial awareness I cant begin to get my head around...ditto the comments about no music, much appreciated for letting us just enjoy the raw noise
Good plane
What a great pilot and plane connection. I know lots of people worked behind the scenes but the pilot needs an applause. Be proud of yourself and your bird and of the people that takes care of that bird. Way to go André !!! :DDD
Very impressive! Both the aircraft and the pilot!
Now I want one. How many cupholders does it have?
well... it does have a slot for some water to the pilot

Such a wonderful feeling to hear and feel those magnificent airplanes as they roar high above the houses. Always thought it to be a really cool sight.
One of the coolest designs and I love the cockpit 👍
That was a blast, worth sticking on in pseudo 3D. Best in flight cockpit video I've seen.
I like how you can occasionally hear the terrain warning system telling him to pull up.
This is the hell of the good pilot. Well done sir!
Tx u for the fantastic video..so real…for a minute I thought I was in the cockpit…good piloting..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
As though flying the aircraft isn’t tough enough you can hear that pilot dosing all he can to maintain consciousness. Going from -3G to +9G must take its toll on the pilot. This video really helps us all appreciate how tough flying these super manoeuvrable nets really is.
What a performance, what a machine, what a pilot! Great video!
Amazing footage, probably the best I have ever seen for such a display. Truly amazing piloting and aircraft, embodies what the human spirit is in it's pursuit for the sky.
Thanks for sharing one of the best video and audio of plane.
That was complete and utterly wonderful...thank you.
Fantastic! Both the airplane and pilot. Great!
I literally felt ill by watching this video when he made the 9 g-force turn. Hats off to our pilots man.
I love this video. I can feel all the strugglings to maintein the control of the aircraft at 9gs.. Also the Gripen's shape is amazin, I really like this machine.
Thanks for not playing music!! crazy video, it's amazing to hear the physical exretion that the pilot experiences, it's sounds like he got a good workout!
Thanks for a very beautiful view of Linköping!
Man.....+4 to -3 back to +8Gs......I don't even want to know how it feels like.
Also, that final approach though, really impressive.
Hell yeah, he made that approach like he was parking a car. Smooth as hell!
Hearing his breath.... I'm suffering for him
Look at the scenary. Sweden is beautiful! And of course an awesome pilot!
what a fucking gangster holy mother of god. that long of sustained 9G that low is so insanely dangerous unless you are unbelievably fit
dude straight up sounds like hes dying sometimes, fighter pilots are superhuman, what a crazy job to have
Wow, this was recorded in the city where i live :D
Kalkon 999 indeed
This is the best exlpanation video about G-Force. Thank you.
Going from +4 to -3 G instantaneously....that pilot has insane endurance level!
For a fighter pilot he has the exact amount of endurance level needed. They all do
Amazing video!!! I got exhausted just watching it :)
What a beautiful and awesome plane! I wish we were getting Gripen's instead of those lousy JSFs in the Netherlands. By the way at 4:54 I never realized how much negative G's a pilot needs to push when banking while flying upside down. But it makes sense, the lift vector points from the seat up, so you need generate much more lift to compensate for the sideslip. Tack så mycket Saab, this was very educational! :-)
While Gripens are great jets, they don't really fit the tactical needs of the Netherlands, and won't have the same level of interoperability with your allies. Plus, as cool as some of the things they can do are, it doesn't change the fact that a single F-35 could almost certainly down an entire flight of Gripens (or any other 4.5th gen) by itself. It's a shame that 5th generation fighter combat doesn't place as much emphasis on looking good and doing cool shit, but cool unfortunately doesn't win wars.
Nerd alert beep beep beep
Vivek Sharma how does it feel to be dumb
Thanos beep beep beep 😋😋
The F-35 carries more munitions than the Gripen C (and presumably the NG as well), while carrying more fuel, and is a better jet in every metric at combat loading, and there is definitely nothing light about it. The only fighter which out-payloads it in NATO inventory is the F-15E.
It also costs about the same flyaway, and has a massive support network behind it due to over 800 of them being planned for export, largely to Europe. With such small production numbers, Saab simply cannot hope to match the logistics network, or have interoperability with all of their allies. When both you and your allies are all using F-35s, you don't even have to flick a switch for them to automatically share data, and two disparate supply lines can be combined, reducing logistical load. Remember, wars are not won by any equipment, but the logistics train behind them.
The F-35's per flight hour cost is dropping sharply, and considering air-frame hours are limited on all aircraft, most people are excited F-35's have a full fidelity simulator for their pilots to train in, rather than wasting flight hours and money on real aircraft. You are entitled to have a differing opinion to military planners, though, so have fun with it.
4:55 -3g to +8g in 1 sec !! Awesome move Maverick!
Damn! This is one badass fighter pilot!... 👍👍👍💪💪💪
Happy to have these defending Brazil in the near future. :)
The only ones who get defended are the fat wallets of Those pricks who sell weapons.
Pilot is the key, not just the jet
The aircraft is useless though unless the pilot is good.

Thank you for your video it show what it means to be a fighter pilot. To keep your senses while being short of breath.
I live close to Linköping and go to school here. I can see Gripen's flying in the sky often. The sound the jet motors make is heard all over the city.
well Saab, thanks for sharing this experience with us, gripen is a swedish made single engine lightweight fighter jet that works in network mode with other fighters and mission control, some amazing 8 minutes that shows aircraft capability and strength ( structure ) looks legendary and promising, i wish if i can put my hand on one of those pieces or even work on them, greetings 👍👍
