Saab 91 Safir

The Saab 91 Safir, a single-engine trainer aircraft, was introduced in 1946 by Saab. The conception of the light trainer Safir stemmed from the need to compensate for the diminishing orders for military aircraft after the Second World War. Certain design elements of the Safir are reminiscent of its predecessor, the Bücker Bü 181, as both were created and developed by Anders J. Andersson. The design was finalized with a de Havilland Gipsy Major engine, and it was designated the Saab 91A as it moved into production. In addition to its success as a trainer aircraft, the Safir also proved suitable as an aerodynamic testbed and was modified to test the swept wing later used in the Saab 29 Tunnan.
