Saab 210

Saab 210 at the Flygvapenmuseum

The Saab 210 Draken ("Kite") was a scaled-down testbed for the double-delta concept in the development of the SAAB Draken fighter. Although never officially named anything but Draken by Saab, it soon became known by it's unofficial nickname Lilldraken ("Little-Kite", or "Mini-Kite") after the first flight of the prototype of the Saab 35.

During Stockholm's 700 year celebrations on the 6 June 1953 the SAAB 210 performed an air show over central Stockholm.

The aircraft currently resides in the Air Force Museum Flygvapenmuseum in Linköping.
