saab j21 3D Model

the saab j21 is a swedish single-seat low-wing monoplane fighter and attack aircraft designed and manufactured by saab. it used a relatively unorthodox twin boom fuselage with a pusher engine, giving the aircraft an unusual appearance.
work began at saab following a swedish air force decision to embark on a major expansion programme in preparation for the possibility of being drawn into the second world war. the company designed a monoplane twin-boom aircraft, powered by a single daimler-benz db 605b engine that was positioned to the rear of the fuselage nacelle, directly behind the pilot, that drove a pusher propeller. this arrangement allowed to be carried in the aircraft's nose while providing the pilot with good visibility. to enable the pilot to bail out without hitting the propeller behind him, they adopted an ejection seat.
