Description Gripen is the Swedish word for "Griffon", a mythical beast with the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion. This jet's unique airframe, which features a tailless configuration with delta and canard wings, is thus aptly 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 Lear Jet.
