Brazil’s Gripens will begin a certification process in January 2019, and single-seat and twin-seat flight test instrumentation aircraft will perform first flights in July 2019 and October 2021, respectively.
Saab will fully manufacture 13 aircraft, and the remainder will have Brazilian participation.
An initial 11 serial-production single-seat Gripen E aircraft are to be delivered between October and November 2021, and the remaining eight single-seat aircraft will be initially built by Saab with on-the-job training for Brazilians and final assembly done in Brazil.
