Saab Draken WHIF Ideas

[perttime]

Would a Draken be able to have a 360 degree bubble canopy with a cut down fuselage & twin vertical tails & canard foreplanes?

I don't think you can cut down the fuselage behind the cockpit. I suppose you could raise the cockpit or make a completely new forward fuselage.
Twin tails at the break in the double delta might work
Canards in the nose would surely disturb airflow into the intakes. Perhaps somewhere on the inner section of the delta wing?

Why not make an unmanned variant of the Drakken?

One of the proposals (35 MOD Nivå 4) for an updated Draken did include minuscule retractable canards - vortex generators really - in the intake sides.

Booble canopy for 1 or 2 seats Draken

Looks a lot better than standard!

Two-seat Drakens had small ventral fins at mid-wing:



Something similar (maybe a little larger) could be used to allow a deeped single-seat forward fuselage with a bubble canopy, something akin ot the F-11 Tiger forward fuselage.

I have GOT to have one of those!! . Although the "real" aeroplane was launched from a ramp, I'm assuming it would have a conventional undercarriage for landing so, once I get a suitable kit, that's how I will proceed.

Hmmm... a Thunderbirds Draken

Not the Danish TF-35's. I haven't been able to find out why, though, as both Swedish and Finnish trainer Drakens did.
