Saab 35 Draken

A powerful fighter jet that could go toe to toe with bombers at high altitudes and effectively combat enemy jet fighters needed. Therefore, Swedish manufacturer Saab developed the 35 Draken. Its unique design included a double delta shape, allowing the jet to be optimized for both high and low-speed performance. One of the requirements set forth by the Swedish Defense Material Administration was the ability to complete short takeoffs and landings. Saab designed the aircraft to be able to perform tail-down landings in order to achieve that goal. The Draken was first fully supersonic fighter used in Western Europe.

It is still used by the Austrian Air Force, but has been retired by Sweden after nearly 40 years of use. It has a presence in the US as a testing aircraft for both NASA and other government agencies. Private ownership of this supersonic jet is possible and the military aircraft for sale has even been featured in Miller beer commercials.
