Hungary is to adapt the Aero Vodochody L-39NG aircraft to meet the future advanced jet trainer requirements of its Saab Gripen combat fleet.
The Czech and Swedish airframers announced a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on 29 May, with the two companies working to explore options to adapt the L-39NG to meet the Gripen C/D training needs of the Hungarian Air Force (HuAF).
“The primary objective of the co-operation, where Saab has the role of subcontractor to Aero Vodochody, is to conduct a feasibility study for a modification of the L-39NG aircraft to enable Hungarian pilot training from basic to advanced training,” the MOU announcement said. “The results of the first phase of the collaboration will be subsequently used for a comprehensive joint study aimed at developing a new pilot interface and avionics system for the L-39NG aircraft to make it compatible with the Hungarian Gripen fighter aircraft.”
