(en: "Dragon")
The Saab 35 Draken is a Swedish 60s-era military jet used mainly as a fighter-interceptor. It sported a unique double delta planform, the inner delta also forming the air intake trunks for its single turbojet. Aside from its 30mm cannon, it could carry up to 4,082 kg (9,000 lb) of rockets, bombs, and air-to-air missiles. It was replaced by the JAS 39 Gripen in the 1990s.
