FLIGHT International, S April 1973 Now the Saab 105G - a new generation of ground attaek jets. The 105 G is a further development of the well-proven twin-jet Saab 105, in quantity service with the Austrian and Swedish Air Forces. Biggest innovation is an impressive high-precision navigation and attack package, including a Decca Doppler 72 radar and map display and a Sperry 500 gyro platform. A laser range-finder and Saab BT9R ballistic computer are incorporated, as well as a Ferranti sight-head and an Elliot air-data com puter. If your business is military aircraft you'll appreciate the potency of this equipment combination. Other 105 G features are a peaky-profile wing leading edge, doubling load factors attainable at high speed, as well as larger air brakes for rapid deceleration in combat and increased flap-setting for steeper landing angles at mountain airfields. Consider the Saab 105 G's 610 mph (960 kph) top speed, its 2,350 kg (5,180 lb) military payload, weapon delivery precision and mission versatility: relate these to modest procurement outlay and low operating cost, and you arrive at outstanding cost-effectiveness. The Saab 105 G is not a drawing or a mock-up but an air borne reality available now, embodying the all-through trainer and ground attack concept. The Saab 105 G sets the pace for the future.
