Below check the specific characteristics of the aircraft you are looking for. You can select multiple items for each characteristic. The results will be filtered automatically. 

Saab's basic jet trainer has a side-by-side cockpit, high wings with a very modest sweep angle and a T-tail, which makes it stand out compared to other jet trainers. The engines are directly attached to each side of the rear fuselage, underneath the wings.

Saab 210

Being the development aircraft for the double delta wings of the Saab 35 Draken, they have the same basic shape. The Saab 210 is smaller though and has a bubble canopy.

Saab 32 Lansen

Typical for the Saab Lansen fighter are the air intakes which are similar to those of the Lockheed P-80 and T-33. The Saab has swept wings though, swept vertical stabiliser and a short, two seat cockpit.

The Saab commuter aircraft have a very conventional configuration. To distinguish them from similar aircraft look for the four cockpit windows and horizontal stabilisers with significant dihedral.

The Saab Draken has such a unique design that it is easily recognised. The double delta wings with air intakes in the wing roots close to the fuselage cannot be found on any other airplane, except the Saab 210 development prototype.

This Swedish fighter aircraft is characteristic like the Saab Draken, but in a different way. Striking are the double delta wings, with a higher sweep angle on the outer wings than the inner wings, and the main landing gear with two wheels in tandem configuration.

The successor of the Saab Viggen has the same basic canard-delta wing configuration, but without the double delta. The Saab Gripen is also a bit smaller, has single wheel main landing gears and square air intakes.

Saab 91 Safir

The Saab Safir has a rather short tricycle gear with the legs close to each other, multifaceted canopy windows and a vertical stabiliser with a nearly unswept leading edge and forward swept trailing edge. 

Saab MFI-15/17 & PAC Mushshak

This training aircraft has slightly forward swept wings, mounted high, on top of the fuselage. They seem to go through the glass canopy and have single struts. The tail is cruciform, with the horizontal stabilisers close to the top. Originally, it was designed by Saab in Sweden and later further developed as PAC Mushshak in Pakistan.

The Triumph seems to be a distant cousin of the Honda Jet, because the Triumph’s engines are also above the wing. It is also called a three-surface airplane with normal wings, a T-tail and canards. (photo: Scaled Composites)
