Saab J35 Draken

The J35 Draken was a Swedish interceptor used in the 1960s, and was way better than most aircraft at the time. Flying at a speed of around 1,321mph, with a 17,110 lb Svenska Flygmotor RM6C turbojet, the Draken was ultimately one of the best fighters of the time, hence the speed of (like I said), 1,321mph, the 1.18in Aden M/55 cannon, the 2 Rb27 radar homing falcon air to air missiles, and the 2 Rb24 sidewinder air to air missiles. The Draken had a special wing type called a Double-Delta, and it allowed the jet to have more aerodynamic abilities, such as speed, and maneuverability. Oh my gosh! I almost forgot the dimensions! Well, here they are. The wingspan is 30ft and 10in, the length is 50 feet and 4in, and the height is 12ft and 9in. This fighter jet is one of my personal favorites, but, sadly, it got replaced by the Saab J37 Viggen in 1993. Again, One of my personal favorites, the Saab J35 Draken.
