Saab, Viggen

During the 1960s several successful and advanced systems were developed and sold to several European countries (used in e.g. banking). The aircraft computer (CK 37) was achieved in 1971 in the Viggen. The now less successful commercial-application company was sold in 1975 to Sperry UNIVAC, while Saab retained its flight computer development.

Saab has been making airplanes since the 1930s, and the purely jet predecessors to the Gripen were the Tunnan, the Lansen, the Draken and the Viggen. The last civilian models made by Saab were the Saab 340 and Saab 2000. Both were mid-range, turboprop-powered, passenger planes. The development and the manufacturing of these airplanes takes place in Linkping, Sweden.
