Description
A tandem two-seat, single-engine transonic aircraft. Intended initially as an attack aircraft, it was later developed into fighter, reconnaissance, and ECM versions thanks to the size of the airframe. It was developed after Flygvapnet requested an aircraft capable of attacking anywhere along Swedish long coastline within one hour after taking off from a central location, and to be capable of operating in any weather conditions, and in both day and night.
The Lansen was among the first aircraft to be built with an onboard radar fire control system. It was designed as a swept back low-wing fighter, with a single tail and one Volvo Svenska Flygmotor RM6A turbofan engine, enabling a maximum speed of 1125 km/h. Its airframe was a sleek, streamlined and clean design, in which every line was calculated using a mathematical early computer-based design. It could sustain +12G and -8G. Its low wings had a 35° sweep and a composition of up to a 10° laminar profile, with hydraulically-boosted ailerons.
