Det nærmer seg slutten av flytestene i Sveits. Nå landet 4 stk F-35 for test i ukene 23 og 24.I uke 25 og 26 må Saab stille med en eller to Gripen E i Sveits hvis de fortsatt skal være med i vurderingen.
For each candidate, a total of eight missions with one or two combat aircraft will be conducted during four days of flight. The capabilities of the aircraft and the information from the submitted offers are checked. Beforehand, the providers have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with another flight with the specific procedures in the Swiss airspace. One flight will take place at night. For this, the starting times of the season must be adjusted accordingly, with the flights always ending before midnight.
