Swedish SAAB A36
Purely designed to be a nuclear weapons carrier, never left the drawing board, as Sweden assumed the AJ37 would begin the drawing board some time after, and ultimately; its abilities were favored over the A36, as it was multi-role, and was originally planned to be nuclear warhead capable, despite never coming to fruition. (Not to mention the Nuclear program halted all together)

SAAB J27
(Modeling of the proposed plane)
The 1945 super prop that never was, based on a blended Spitfire and P-51 airframe, with a coaxial front rotor system. While it wasn’t ever built, this was, a Swedish 31 SuperMarine Spitfire.
Shown again here in the Swedish air museum
Had 2 liveries, the tealish color is one, and a darker blue is the other.

That’s really cool, I wonder how it would fly / what it’s characteristics would be like
It was to have a 24 cyl H type engine. Retains a smooth skinning, long frame design of the sptifire, with more aerodynamic cockpit and stabilizer of the P-51.
I’d say it would fly the same, if not better than the Spit Mk.24

SAAB P1642-06 B3LM
Swedish prototype, to assume the JAS role, similarly like the Gripen. Never left the drawing board, very similar to the A-10, except this one says Bjjjjorrt instead or Brrrrrrt.

JA37 variant “Pheonix”
Translation: “After Viggen comes the pheonix! From the ashes of a tough political battle rises the victor: the super bird Phoenix!”
Unknown if even drawn up, but looks really dope.
Simply by design, I’d have to assume it’s the next generation, similar to the JAS39, looks a lot like the F-16 and YF-22 mixed.

Unknown by many right now (because of how new it is) SAAB is starting the first domestic stealth aircraft project, really looking forward to seeing the outcome. Dubbed the FS2020

The IAI Aryeh, an Israeli stealth 4th generation fighter capable of mach 2.7, as agile as the F-16, capable of cryying nukes and so on. The concept was amazingly advanced for the time (1975-1981), but it is not known till this day if this wonder was ever built (it could have got one prototype, but of course no one knows that for sure). The IDF does not share information, so we don’t know if this Israeli unique F-15-but-better-in-every-way was built or not. I suggest we get it anyways, we already have Ho-Ri and Ostwind II.

This BUFF is the Saab 91A/202
Flew, existed, not well known, very ugly, and very interesting.

It was the precursor to the Safir A trainer/recon plane; the 202/201.
