The Viggen

In BMS, does it have thrust reverse ?

It should but not like a 737- to my understanding it uses an engine air flow compression mechanic, which basically makes all the “suckers” blow , add that to a relatively low mass and touchdown speed, you got STOL. It doesn’t have a “real” reverse thrust like a jetliner , it’s a function of the intake, IIRC. The gripen also has some newer version, im not very knowledgeable about details.

Thanks for the feedback

The Viggen has three large plates that close behind the exhaust and redirects it forward. And yes it works in BMS.
