The Saab Gripen E combat aircraft made its maiden flight from the company's Linkoping production facility on 15 June. No further details on the first flight of prototype aircraft 39-8 had been disclosed at the time of writing. This milestone was slightly delayed from the original date of late 2016, as the company decided to finalise all of the software development ahead of commencing the flight trials process to reduce risk to the programme.
