Description:

Inspired by the unique design of the Swedish "Viggen" fighter of the 1960's, the Mini-Viggen was designed to be a small, fun, easy to fly, and inexpensive airplane, also capable of some pretty wild manouvers. It turned out pretty well too, IMHO. Even the modelling isn't bad considering how long ago I made it... The materials are very simple, and there is no interior. And if you delete the propeller you can call it a small jet. Add some greeble, and you have a starfighter. Should prove a versitile design.

I had a ton of fun designing and modelling this aircraft, and I hope you have a ton of fun with it too!

    Thanks. I can't believe such a far out looking design existed in real life. Looks like something from a cartoon (like some idealized vision of an airplane that could never actually fly). I will definitely check out its real life flight on youtube. I will enjoy making a toon with this. Thanks for your generosity.

    You are welcome, glad to share. But I should clarify: this was never a 'real' airplane, just a figment of my imagination. Still, I like to think it could be built, and I would be first in line to get one! Enjoy!

    OK, the Swedish 'Viggen' was real, but not the 'Mini-Viggen'. Just to be quite clear. :-)
