Saab 35 vs F-4D Skyray
Tbe two planes flew in 1955 if we conclude that the Skyray with the J57 was the real plane. The Skyray strong point was It's climb ability which was around 20000 feet per min whilr the Draken prototype here easily did 30000 !
In terms of speed the Skyray top speed was was mach 1.1
while the Draken did mach 1.8 .
Since the engines were almost the same 6.8 vs 7.2 ton thrust it seems that the Saab was far more advanced aerodynamic shape.
The Skyray is from Ecardsmodels in 1:48 scale.
Will continue
