“The LAU-139 for the Gripen is also a variation of the LAU-127 Launcher.”

Nice find!

Just for clarification, those are BOL pods too right? Just based off the pictures

Basically yeah BOL rails while using AMRAAMS or Derby (R darter)

Cool, Andre Brännström is a G

Interesting how rapidly it can decelerate on landing with the canard deflection. Would be nice if we could do that in game.

The speed is also indicated there for reasons of M

I believe I read in a book that Gripen was among the first fighter jet to feature ABS brakes

Anti-skid automation appeared long before the Grippen

Could’ve been the Viggen, been a while since I read it :)

Anti-skid was on the Su-24, and this is 67

Hence the word “among” (also 1967)

need this book “Aircraft Aerodynamic Design with Computational Software”

I think that the anti-skid system appeared on the B-52 and Tu-95

Also not fighter jets

What about it?

The view from above does not yet give much insight. If this is a velocity field, then the flow from the root part should tend to the end part
