A few pictures of the different weapon selectors and such in the AJS 37 cockpit..

Negatory, it needs a certain amount of forward speed to eject, simply due to the canopy has to seperate from the aircraft, and it does that by drag.

Here's a video of me flying the Ajs37 viggen simulator at Fd, F15 Hälsinge flygflottilj. Located in Söderhamn Sweden. I work there on weekends and during summer break from school as a instructor but mainly handling the computers needed to run this sim. This video was recorded after closing after all the customers had left just days after it's official release, flying with only Airspeed indicator, G and AOA as help. Now all of the main gauges and some basic weapon systems are operational and most of the backup ones, the HUD do work but needs some fine tuning before it can be used properly, it is displayed through the glass of the cockpit and not on the screen in front of you like most sims [ame= ] [/ame]

Nvm i failed my response Admin can remove this

Yes, you can fire rockets, guns and aim9 (rb24J) :)

hahah, well the flying bit maybe. But the rest na not so much ;)

When i say work i dont mean im hired, we all work for free to keep the museum going. Anyone who wants can come and help out in whatever way they want :) And yes i have tried it many. MANY times.. I work as a instructor on it, So there are quite a few gaps for us instructors to fly ;)..

THat is a very nice picture!

Yes it is, i work there when i have the time to.

Here are the pictures, freshly taken from an AJS37 and a SK37 First one is the radar warner on the wing.. And yes that is a BK90 barely visible in the bottom of the picture.. :thumbsup:: And the one on the rear: AJS37 cockpit in the dark, with a "moody" setting of the lighting. Only the main power is on "Huvudström till" 2x 120kg dumb bombs "120kg sprängbomb": And a close up of "Millan" Which has been intensivly discussed in a previous page :thumbup: Rb05 The pilot guided A/G Missile. Close up of a Rb04, but this time hanging on the wing of a A32 Lansen. And ofc a picture of where it all happens!

Infact even the JA37DI the newest version of the Viggen is classified, due to alot of parts and software in that version was later used in the JAS39 A-B versions and later. Posting some close up pictures later of some weaponry,radar warner components and the lightning inside of the cockpit.

What do you imply? This is there only as a safety pro cation so you cant use the trust reverser in the air, and when only having your main gear on the ground, it's only a safety feature and is there to save both the pilot and aircraft. if you mean the part when they slam it into the ground, the aircraft is made for it and in theory the landing gear should be able to handle carrier landings with ease.

Another fun fact! You can engage the reverser already on final, so it will automatically engage when you touch the ground! However, if you dont get your nosewheel on the ground within 2 seconds this procedure will automatically cancel and you will not have any thrust reverser. that is why they usually set it down hard and just push it into the ground to shorten the time it takes to stop and to make sure that reverser engage.

I work at one of our museums displaying this aircraft in Sweden F15 Hälsingeflygflotilj (the 15'th airwing) I've spoken to quite a few former pilots of this aircraft, and you can get this big bird stopped in under 500m, all the way down to 350m under the right conditions and using the right techniques. There were a few different techniques they used which slowed them down quicker and almost as quick as the standard AOA 15.5 landing. e.g Doing a aerodynamic braking and using your main brakes at the same time, that technique could get it stopped in around 600m. With out reverser, Because for the reverser to work the nose wheel has to be on the ground. The technique I've been told by several of these pilots was one they referred to as (Hängmattan) or hammock approach, they would come in at a higher AOA 16-17~ but much lower and touching down a lot softer, because if you would touch it down at the same rate as in 15.5 AOA approach it would slam the rear of the airplane into the runway at AOA 17, due to the suspension compressing so much and the rear being so close to the ground already at that attitude. Using this technique with low fuel level they got it to a full stop in less than 400m. The 500m landing and 400 takeoff is more of a public figure, if you push it as you can see above you can do some pretty bad ass stuff with this airplane.
