THE AIRCRAFT

Meet Saab 17 B

The Saab 17 programme began at ASJA before that company became part of Saab. It used a single radial engine and an all-metal low-wing airframe. Different versions were equipped for land, winter and maritime operations.

Its undercarriage fairings and variant-specific equipment are useful identification details. The Saab 17 is entirely separate from the much later Saab 340 regional airliner, despite appearing under the same manufacturer in a broad simulator catalogue.

Trim and undercarriage controls

The Saab 17 guide identifies rudder and elevator trim, normal landing-gear controls and the emergency gear system. Those cockpit details belong to the historic Saab 17, entirely separately from the later Saab 340 regional-airliner documentation.
