The SAAB JAS 39 Gripen E is the most modern development version of the popular Swedish multi-role fighters manufactured by the SAAB aviation company. The name of the Gripen aircraft refers to the SAAB coat of arms, which emphasizes the multi-tasking nature of the aircraft. The abbreviation JAS was created from words in Swedish meaning: Jakt - hunting, Attack - assault, Spaning - reconnaissance. The Gripen is a high-performance multi-purpose machine capable of doing any of these tasks. The configuration of the wings in the delta configuration allows it to develop high speeds.
