Retu81 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 The SAAB 35 Draken usualy gives it a good run for it's money when it comes to being loud, but it's probably a close call. :P There was a joke in Finnish Air Force that described Draken as "the best known way to convert jet fuel into noise" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old aircraft maintenance teacher (a former Draken mechanic) used to call it a "fantastic fuel to noise converter"! :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMikeJuliet Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 It is interesting to note how big Viggen is... I mean its not the largest of aircraft, but compare it to Draken and Gripen... massive... The extra wheels on the main gear may help bring a bit more "umpf" to the appearance... what's the MTOW on Viggen?

The extra wheels on the main gear may help bring a bit more "umpf" to the appearance... what's the MTOW on Viggen? I haven't found an explicitly defined MTOW in the manuals, what's there is a restriction on what payload alternatives you can carry. Any fuel amount is allowed with any payload. The Swedish air force measured fuel by volume (liters) not by weight (kilograms) - the weight of the fuel varies with temperature. The nominal MTOW at ISA with 16x120kg bombs (the heaviest allowed loadout) is around 18350 kg, but there's a center of gravity diagram that has a line for that payload drawn all the way up to around 18750 kg.

Atreides Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I saw this plane last Sunday in Sweden at the celebration of 90 years Swedish Air Force. The Viggen there made a short landing, reversed, and did a short take off in the other direction. Amazing. Didn't get that on tape, since I was too much mesmerized by the view. However I did get a nice recording of among others a Saab 37 Viggen taking off, and made a video of that. For your enjoyment and for the hype of this module, here it is :thumbup: This video includes the following aircraft: Saab 29 Tunnan - 1948 Saab 35 Draken - 1955 Saab 37 Viggen - 1967 Saab 39 Gripen - 1988 Saab 105 Florette - 1963 Full screen and volume to the max recommended My YouTube channel: EagleNED (click here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilrah Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 It was nice to see it again. Though, didnt they end a bit too early? Seemed to me he did a short landing and then taked off again but that we didn´t see.

El Hadji Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 That was my impression as well. And the speakers chatted about other nonsense instead of commenting the actual performance.

Marsvinet Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 This just in. BRUTAL sound! Edit: Well, didnt seem to embed properly. As brutal as it is, this video doesn't make justice for how loud and awesomely powerful it is. When standing at the front of the airshow, the earplugs didn't seem to help when it pointed the engine at ya. Shook my entire body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
