Flygsystem 2020
The Flygsystem 2020 ("Flight System 2020", abbreviated FS 2020), is an ongoing project by the Swedish Air Force to develop a stealth fighter by 2020.[1] Little public information exists about the project, which might not be possible due to recent defense budget cuts; there are no official statements about the current stage of development, although a video claims to show a miniature prototype test.[2] In 2012, Lieutenant Colonel Lars Helmrich of the Swedish Air Force asked members of the Riksdag to consider the development of a new jet fighter or to upgrade all present JAS 39 multirole fighters to the NG model, claiming the early versions of the aircraft will be useless by 2020.[3]
The Saab/Linköping University Generic Future Fighter project[4][5][6] is a testbed for its technologies.
Partnership with Turkish Aerospace Industries
During a State visit of the President of Turkey to Sweden on the 13th of March 2013, Türk Havacılık ve Uzay Sanayii AŞ (Turkish Aerospace Industries, TAI) signed an agreement with Sweden's Saab to provide design support services to Turkey for the TFX (Turkey) program.[7][8][9][10]
However, the project is under pressure to be abandoned, due to Turkey's participation in the Joint Strike Fighter program.[11]
