Leo if you need a 3D of the Saab JAS-39 Gripen I would be glad to hook you up with over 5 3D models. You would need DNM Viewer to view them though...

I bet Leo, you want to create a flight model and check your predictions with actual data.

What kind of airfoil Grippen uses is most unlikely to find. Even if you knew that it was a 64A series, it surely would be a modification to better suit Grippen's needs.

But u can easily find the aspect ratio (=span^2/wing area), taper ratio (chord at tip/ chord at root) fuel fraction (weight of fuel /total weight), u can have an accurate idea of T/W ratio and then "play" with the specific excess power equations, to predict (at a reasonable degree) the performance.

Agreed. Leo, why don't you do an F-15 or something...?
