Sweden's nuclear bomber (that never was) or A 36, the 'missing' aircraft between 35 and 37

In issue 4/1991 of the magazine Flygrevyn there is an article the Saab project 1300, which later were given the Air Force designation A 36, although it was never built.

In the late 1940's work was started on getting Sweden nuclear weapons, which studies showed would be technically and economically feasible. In 1952 Saab started designing an aircraft with long range, large weapon load and high speed as 'Project 1300'.

It was equipped with a single seat, straight delta wing with 62 degrees sweepback, chin intake and internal weapon bay. (The latter _only_ because of concerns about accidental detonation due to the high temperatures air friction would cause.) Primary weapon would be a 600-800 kg free fall nuclear weapon.

Length: 17 m
Span: 9,6 m
Wing area: 54 square meters
Empty weight: 9000 kg
Max load: 1500 kg
Fuel: 4000 kg
Max take off weight: 15000 kg
Engine: Bristol Olympus
Thrust/weight ratio (take off): 0,73
Max speed: Mach 2,14 above 11 km; mach 1,2 at low altitude
Radius of action: 410 km
Ceiling: 18 km
Take off run: 490 m
The project was cancelled in 1957 and all resources concentrated on Viggen. However, it wasn't until 1966 parliament finally decided Sweden wasn't going to get nuclear weapons.

al uopste ne izgleda kao avion namjenjen bombardovanju a kamoli bacanju nuklearki i to nimalo naivnih, zajebano samo sto bi neki ruski bombarder mogao da ponese najmanje 2 ovakva aviona

da, ali mislim da je nonsens porediti vojsku Rusije i Svedske
Svedjani su komedija

  ali opet lici mi na mirage 4000 kao lovac  ne bombarder nekako malo glupo izgleda samo to kazem. mislim da bi cak i su27 mogao sto i a36
naravno respect za a36

to je zastarelo bacati nuklearku iz aviona sad je sve to na raketama da prevoze

pa dobro ali tako je sve pocelo sada prakticno mozes sa bilo kog dela zemlje da lansiras raketu gde oces

iz podmornice! 

iz satelita nosaca u geostacionarnoj orbiti

 

bolje da ne komentarisemo posto mi nemozemo ni na jedan nacin
