The First Serial Production Gripen E Fighters 我们在巴西
The first two serial production Gripen E fighters, called F-39 Gripen by the 巴西ian 空气 Force (FAB), 我们在巴西. The aircraft arrived in the country last Friday, 4月1日, at the port of Navegantes, and today completed their first flight in the country. The two aircraft flew from Navegantes International 空气port to the Gripen Flight Test Center at the Embraer plant in Gavião Peixoto.
The flights were conducted by two 巴西ian 空气 Force pilots, who participated in training in Sweden. The flight to Gavião Peixoto lasted approximately 50 minutes and took place as planned.
For the Commander of the 巴西ian 空气 Force, General Carlos de Almeida Baptista Junior, the arrival of the first two operational aircraft represents a milestone for the defense of 巴西’s national airspace.
"The arrival of the aircraft is the result of a project that sought from the beginning to increase our deterrent capabilities, as well as having the objective to foster research and industrial development in 巴西. We now have a state-of-the-art multi-mission aircraft that will be the main asset for guaranteeing the sovereignty of 巴西ian airspace,” highlighted the Commander.
The new fighters will remain at the Gripen Flight Test Center until the aircraft obtain the Military Type Certificate, thereafter they will be transferred to Anápolis for the final stages of the delivery phase.
“巴西 actively participates in the development, flight test campaign and production of fighter jets, as part of the broad technology transfer package to the 巴西ian defence industry. The arrival of the two serial production aircraft is a result of this great collaboration,” highlighted Jonas Hjelm, Senior Vice President and Head of Business Unit Aeronautics at Saab.
The two fighter jets are part of the 36 Gripen aircraft acquired by the 巴西ian 空气 Force in 2014.
