The Saab JAS 39 Gripen-THE SEXIEST ONE

The Saab JAS 39 Gripen is a Light Single-Engine Multirole Fighter Aircraft  In 1979, the Swedish government began development studies for an aircraft capable of fighter, attack and reconnaissance missions to replace the Saab 35 Draken and 37 Viggen. A new design from Saab was selected and developed as the JAS 39, first flying in 1988. Following two crashes during flight development and subsequent alterations to the aircraft's flight control software, the Gripen entered service with the Swedish Air Force in 1997. Upgraded variants, featuring more advanced avionics and adaptations for longer mission times, began entering service in 2003.

ONE OF THE MOST ADVANCE RUSSIAN JET FIGHTER Sukhoi Su-35

Sukhoi Su-35 FLANKER E The first variant was designed during the 1980s as an upgrade of the Su-27, and was initially known as the Su-27M . This derivative incorporated canards and a multi-function radar that transformed the aircraft into a multi-role aircraft, and was structurally reinforced to support its heavier weight. The first prototype made its maiden flight in June 1988. As the aircraft was not mass produced due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, Sukhoi re-designated the aircraft as Su-35 to attract export orders. At the same time, the fifteen aircraft produced were used for tests and demonstrations; one example had thrust-vectoring engines installed, and the resultant Su-37 was used as a technology demonstrator. A sole Su-35UB two-seat trainer was also built in the late 1990s that strongly resembled the Su-30MK family.   General characteristics Crew: 1 Length: 21.9 m (72 ft 11 in) Wingspan : (with wingtip pods) 15.3 m (50 ft 2 in) Height: ...
