Wow, that is amazing.
Looks like it's design was based on the existing Gripen.

Yeah see the size of the grass and the run-way road. It is some mockup model but not a real one. They people cant come up with the Gripen NG and this is stealth fighter is simply a good joke

Oh oh, I love RC planes... check this out!

 

[raja696]

i want to build bigger one en fly in it

That video is a post by Stephen Trimble of Flight global's dew line blog.

And that is a 1:13 scale model developped by Linkoping university based on designs by SAAB. I have posted the links of the university news article in my original post and there are two video links too.

Added later : the first one shows people involved and how they make it.

To be honest, this project doesn't look like it is very serious. It looks like a group of uni students are running an assignment.

 

[Armand2REP]

I think it is pretty well accepted fact that canards can't be used on a stealth fighter. We tried it when we wanted to make Rafale stealth and the Russians learned that they couldn't do it with Su-47 Berkut.

 

[Yusuf]

Yeah i was going to say that. You cant have canards if you want to stealth it. Probably just an advanced fighter with some stealth but not complete. Some aspects of the design are strikingly similar to the MCA design that came out some time ago.

SAAB's effort , collected from various internet sources

 

[Marcelo]

Very good collection, sometimes i'm thinking how many aircraft like this are in the world...
