J.71 Torden

The J.71 Torden (Anglic: Thunder) is a retired Ringeriker single-seat, single-engine, short-medium range combat aircraft. It is designed to be able to operate from dispersed airfields, and as such earlier versions were simple to maintain, and all models feature a large thrust reverser at the back of the plane. Other notable design features include the canard-delta wing layout of the aircraft.
