The Saab-BAE Systems: Gripen

Beschrijving

Gripen Fighter Plane for the 21st Century. Amazing performance and strategic flying maneuvers are revealed in Gripen - Sweden's proud, state-of-the-art fighter plane! Gripen is the Swedish word for "Griffon," a mysthical beast with the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion. The jet's unique airframe, which features a tailless configuration with delta and canard wings, is thus apty named. The first in the "Fourth-Generation" Fighter-Plane Series is packed with must-see video footage from the archived picture of Gripen's maiden flight to the latest aerial shots taken from a Learjet. Enjoy this long-awaited masterpiece in Dolby Digital. As a premium feature, the DVD disc contains interviews with Katsuyoshi Fujita (aviation commentator), Hiromasa Takei (aircraft designer) and Katsuhiko Tokunaga (photographer). Special Features: Interactive Menus with Scene Access Dolby Digital 6.5.1 Interviews with aviation commentator, aircraft designer and photographer
