Description:

     The Gripen was designed for performance, flexibility, effectiveness and survivability in air combat. The designation JAS stands for Jakt (Air-to-Air), Attack (Air-to-Surface), and Spaning (Reconnaissance), indicating that the Gripen is a multirole or swingrole fighter aircraft that can fulfill each mission type.

In designing the aircraft, several layouts were studied. Saab ultimately selected an unstable canard design. The canard configuration gives a high onset of pitch rate and low drag, enabling the aircraft to be faster, have longer range and carry a larger payload.

Sapac has replicated the Saab Jas-39 Gripen as a sport, scale model. This military Fighter boasts the UK's Empire Test Pilots' School (ETPS) trim scheme making it a very attractive and highly visible plane. Spend less time building and more time flying, this model comes fully painted grey and blue on white foam. It even includes light-weight Aluminum spring loaded strut landing gear.

This high powered model was designed around the use of our single 70mm fan unit and our high-output brushless motor makes a perfect match. The low wing loading and single ducted fan allow superior maneuverability and acceleration to perform basic aerobatics. While this plane is capable of flying a tight flight pattern, it can still be flown at your local park.

The flight characteristics and response of Sapac's Saab Jas-39 Gripen mirror those of the full size Saab Jas-39 Gripen, down to the aerobatic capabilities. This model was created for the ambitious sport scale, advanced pilot looking for a versatile model capable of park flying.
