Hasegawa 51461 J-35F Draken Red Dragon

In 1949 the Swedish military submitted a request to their aircraft industry, requesting a new fighter. They wanted this new fighter to have a ceiling of 14,000 meters, climb to 10,000 m in 25 minutes, top speed of Mach 1.7, plus short take-off and Landing ability so it could operate from existing Swedish roads. These were very sophisticated requirements for 1949 and their industry opted for a double delta type wing. With the data gathered from the Saab 210 flights they produced the J-35 Draken and test flew it on October 25, 1955. In 1956 it flew faster than Mach 1 in level flight without afterburner, and in August of the same year it was ordered into mass production. The J-35F is the most widely produced version and is expected to be operational well into the twentieth century.
