A sleek delta wing shape and an aggressive canard accompany the the JAS 39, a fourth generation fighter that goes toe-to-toe with fifth generation counterparts and is a no-doubter on the list of most expensive fighter jets. It features a fly-by-wire control system and is aggressively priced to sell to countries such as the Czech Republic, Thailand, and other friendly nations. The JAS 39 comes with a single Volvo RM12 afterburning turbofan, giving the Saab JAS 39 a max speed of roughly 1,370 mph.
