The Saab 29 Tunnan, colloquially the Flygande tunnan (English: "The flying barrel"),[1] is a Swedish fighter that was designed and manufactured by Saab in the 1940s. It was Sweden's second turbojet-powered combat aircraft, the first having been the Saab 21R and it was the first post-Second World War Western European fighter to be produced with a swept wing, the Me 262 having been the first, during the war.[2][3] Despite its rotund appearance, from which its name is derived, the J 29 was fast and agile and served effectively in both fighter and fighter-bomber roles into the 1970s.
