On the face of it, it was a routine first flight. It was also the first time a Gripen built anywhere other than Sweden has taken to the air.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Embraer and Saab announced the milestone on 7 October 2026. Brazilian outlets Tecnodefesa and Air Data News report that the flight took place on 6 October, with Saab chief test pilot Jakob H\u00f6gberg at the controls. The jet was assembled on Embraer's Gripen line, the only final assembly line for the type outside Sweden, and it is the first of 15 Brazilian-built aircraft in the country's current order.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f4f6fa;border:1px solid #e2e7ee;padding:18px 22px;margin:24px 0\">\r\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;font-size:17px;color:#0d1117\">Quick Facts<\/p>\r\n<ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:18px;line-height:1.7\">\r\n<li><strong>Aircraft:<\/strong> Saab Gripen E (F-39E in Brazilian service), serial 4109<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Built by:<\/strong> Embraer, Gavi\u00e3o Peixoto, S\u00e3o Paulo state<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>First flight:<\/strong> 6 October 2026 (announced 7 October)<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Pilot:<\/strong> Saab chief test pilot Jakob H\u00f6gberg<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Brazil's 2014 order:<\/strong> 36 aircraft, 28 single-seat Gripen E and 8 two-seat Gripen F<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Built in Brazil:<\/strong> 15 of those 36; this is the first<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Destination:<\/strong> 1st Air Defence Group (Jaguar Squadron), An\u00e1polis<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">A First Flight That Is Really an Exam<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>This was not a show flight. According to Embraer, the sortie checked the jet's main systems and validated its flight characteristics, and Saab treats it as the opening step of the production acceptance campaign. Before the wheels left the ground, 4109 had already been through inspections, ground runs and system evaluations. More test flights follow before the aircraft is handed to the Brazilian Air Force.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The data from those flights matters as much as the aircraft itself. Every Gripen E that Brazil has received so far was built by Saab in Link\u00f6ping. Now the question is whether a jet from a Brazilian line flies exactly like one from the Swedish line. The acceptance campaign that started with this flight is there to answer exactly that.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/10\/gripen-e-4109-takeoff-roll-gaviao-peixoto.jpg\" alt=\"Brazilian-built Saab Gripen E serial 4109 on its take-off roll at Embraer Gavi\u00e3o Peixoto\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">Gripen E 4109, the first Gripen built outside Sweden, on its take-off roll at Gavi\u00e3o Peixoto.

It is a clean jet, with no external stores, as you would expect for a first acceptance sortie.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">From Rollout in March to Flight in October<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The same aircraft was unveiled on 25 March 2026, when Embraer presented the first Gripen it had assembled itself. Six and a half months later, it has flown. The line at Gavi\u00e3o Peixoto was inaugurated in May 2023, and it is part of a wider effort: Saab has also set up a Gripen design and development network and a Gripen flight test centre in Brazil.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The industrial deal has always been the heart of Brazil's fighter choice. When Bras\u00edlia picked the <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/saab-gripen\/\">Saab JAS 39 Gripen<\/a> over its rivals in the F-X2 competition, technology transfer was a central part of the offer. The 2014 contract covers 36 aircraft, 28 single-seat Gripen E and 8 two-seat Gripen F, and 15 of them are to be built in Brazil. The rest come from Sweden.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7\"><em>&ldquo;This first flight of a Gripen E produced in Brazil by Embraer is a historic milestone&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>Bosco da Costa Junior<\/strong> &mdash; President and CEO, Embraer Defense &amp; Security, in Embraer&rsquo;s announcement of 7 October 2026<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Bosco da Costa Junior, who runs Embraer's defence business, called the flight \"a historic milestone\", and it is easy to see why.

The first two-seat Gripen F for Brazil flew in Sweden in late August, and a heads of agreement signed on 21 July covers 20 more aircraft, subject to negotiation.
