SAAB aircraft projects, a brief list with descriptions

This is mainly about the military projects which never got built, but a few civilian ones will be related too.

Civilian projects

These projects are numbered starting with 90. Some of these have a military connection (or I don't think I'd bothered with the list).

90: Saab Scandia, airliner for 25-30 passengers and 3 crew, started 1944, flew 1946, 18 built 1949-51. More info on Saab Scandia 90A.

191: Possible Bulldog/Saab 105 replacement for the Swedish air force, nose and canopy very like 105 (which can also be said for Fairchild T-46) with either a single jet on top of the fuselage, twin jets in the rear fuselage, one pulling or pushing turboprop

Military projects

Within the 1000- number series there are usually several (or lots of) versions or quite different aircraft with separate numbers.

L 10 (1938): Saab B/S 17
L 11 (1938): Saab B/T 18
L 12 (1939): Conventional fighter with radial engine, given the designation J 19 but never built
L 13 (1939): What became the Saab 21, later during development called L 21
L 23 (1941): Conventional alternative to J 21
L 24 (1942): Bf 110 lookalike, given the designation B 24 and J 24, cancelled
L 27 (1945): High performance piston engine fighter, given the designation J 27, never built
1000 (1947): 29 Tunnan
1100 (1948): 32 Lansen
1200 (1950): 35 Draken
1300 (1952): fighter and attack projects 
1319 missile armed fighter with two de Havilland rocket engines, 
1325 was a Draken replacement fighter with Gyron jets with partial afterburners on the wingtips and an (automatically starting in case of engine failure) rocket in the tail (the rocket motor is still in use on sounding rockets), 
1350 was a larger attack variant of 1325, with full afterburners, 
1352 single engine (Olympus) of 1350, 
1372 was a an unstable double delta (not even a wind tunnel model), 
1376 was the A 36, 
1377 like 1376 but with dorsal air intake, 
the "U-plan" was also in this series (a variable geometry turborocket submersible M 2 fighter
1400 (1955): Fighter and attack projects, often STOL or VTOL, 
1410 was a STOVL fighter with afterburning nozzles in and as the flaps, also good for reversing, M 2+, 
1421B was a M 2.8 Draken replacement in 1956 
1443 a Mirage III (independently arrived at) lookalike with M 2.3
1500 (1958): STOL and VTOL projects which led to 37 Viggen 
1500-01 pretty like a Harrier 
1504 in 1961 looked very much like Viggen 
1508A2 
1534 became 37 Viggen, 
1536 a VTOL Viggen
1600 (1968): B3LA predecessors, 1638 rather similar
1700: Higher performance B3LA versions, not much studied
1800 (1972): 1806 was the final B3LA
1900 (1979): Flygplan 80 ("Aircraft 80") and JAS 39 predecessors
2000: Briefly studied JAS 39 predecessors
2060: Modernised (partly Gripen avionics, powerful engines, partly composite construction) Saab 105 mainly intended for USAF. Early 1990's.
2100: 2110 became 39 Gripen
