The Saab J 35 Draken (The word 'Draken' here is referring to a Kite, but it's also the same as Dragon in Swedish) or Saab 35 is a Swedish fighter aircraft manufactured by Saab between 1955 and 1974. The Draken was built to replace the Saab J 29 Tunnan and, later, the fighter variant (J 32B) of the Saab Lansen.
The J 35 Draken underwent several upgrades. The last was the J 35J version, in the early 1990s. By then, it had been almost totally replaced by Saab Viggen and Saab Gripen in Swedish service, although it remains in limited numbers in both military and civilian versions. Special models have also been exported to Denmark and Finland. In 1985, the Austrian Air Force purchased 24 Saab-Scania reconditioned Drakens. In the United States, the National Test Pilot School (NTPS) operates six Drakens that were formerly in Danish service.
