The First F39 Gripen Fighter Is Being Assembled at Embraer, Marking the Partnership Between Swedish Manufacturer Saab and the Brazilian Company in the Production of Fourth Generation Aircraft for the Brazilian Air Force.

Saab, the renowned Swedish aircraft manufacturer, is showcasing the first F39 Gripen fighter being assembled at Embraer. This event marks an important step in the partnership between the two companies and a historic moment for the Brazilian Air Force .

The F39 Gripen is a fourth generation aircraft, designed to meet the operational needs of the Brazilian Air Force (FAB). On May 9, 2023, Saab do Brasil shared an image of the first F39 Gripen being assembled on the production line at Embraer, located in Gavião Peixoto, SP. This is the first Gripen produced outside of Sweden and will be destined for the FAB.

The Line Will Be Responsible for the Production of 15 Units for the Brazilian Air Force

Saab’s social media post celebrates the opening of the F39 Gripen assembly line, highlighting that it is the only one outside of Sweden and the first in Latin America to manufacture supersonic fighters. The line will be responsible for the production of 15 units for the Brazilian Air Force, in addition to being able to meet future demands from Brazil or the region.

FAB Has Already Received Eight F39 Gripen

In addition to hosting the assembly line, Embraer’s facilities in Gavião Peixoto also house the Gripen Flight Test Center (Gripen Flight Test Center – GFTC) and the Gripen Design and Development Network (Gripen Design and Development Network – GDDN). The latter is described by Saab as the central point of technology transfer for the Brazilian Gripen program, integrating companies, government agencies, and partners involved in the program, especially Embraer.

So far, the Brazilian Air Force has received eight F39 Gripen fighters, with seven operational aircraft (FAB 4100 to 4107) and one unit dedicated to testing and certifications. The delivery of the first Gripen assembled in Brazil is expected in 2025, marking a significant advance in the country’s defense capabilities and aerospace industry.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

While the world was paying more for fuel, the 100 largest oil companies on the planet raked in an extra $23 billion in just 30 days of blockage in the Strait of Hormuz.

National Geographic strikes the hammer: yes, Africa is slowly splitting apart, a new ocean may form, and science considers this one of the most important geological phenomena of our time.

Watch created at USP is used by astronauts of Artemis II and brings Brazilian technology into NASA’s largest mission.

US$ 3.5 billion, a port capable of receiving the largest ships in the world, and a direct route to Shanghai place Chancay at the center of a logistics revolution that could cut up to two weeks off trade between South America and Asia, repositioning Peru as a new strategic hub of the Pacific.

Without a course in aerospace engineering and without a dedicated laboratory, USP students launch a rocket with a hybrid engine and bring Project Jupiter to the forefront of aerospace technology.
