01

The proposed aircraft

The original document identifies the Super Tucano 314 as the proposed training aircraft, with a Gripen-like look and functionality. This describes the intended SWEMFTS configuration, rather than a confirmed modification or an existing SWEMFTS aircraft fleet.

02

The intended training role

The proposed Gripen-like functionality would support the transition to multi-role fighter operations. The detailed cockpit configuration and syllabus remain to be defined.

03

Explore the wider role

The concept also considers a secondary light multi-role fighter wing. The original proposal suggests volunteer personnel and pilot training staff as a possible staffing approach. Its role, configuration and organisation would be topics for further development.
