He swooped around Paris in the belle époque of the 1900s with a lighted pipe in his pocket and could be seen most afternoons in the cafés with his pocket gently smoldering.

Bratt has placed a canard-a nose wing with adjustable flaps-in front of the Viggen's main delta wing. The canard will help the Viggen make tighter turns-especially at supersonic speeds-and will slow it rapidly for landings...
