=== Aircraft production ===
The main focus of aircraft production is [[fighter aircraft]]. Saab has been making aircraft since the 1930s, and the jet predecessors of the [[Saab JAS 39 Gripen|JAS 39 Gripen]] were the [[Saab 29 Tunnan|Tunnan]], the [[Saab 32 Lansen|Lansen]], the [[Saab 35 Draken|Draken]] and the [[Saab 37 Viggen|Viggen]]. The last civilian models made by Saab were the [[Saab 340]] and [[Saab 2000]]. Both were mid-range [[turboprop]]-powered airliners. The development and the manufacturing of these aircraft is undertaken in Linköping.

In May 2019, Saab announced plans to locate a new U.S. manufacturing operation in Discovery Park District Aerospace on the west side of the [[Purdue University]] campus. The facility will do the final assembly of the [[T-X program|T-X]] advanced jet trainer, which is a plane developed by [[Boeing]] and Saab for the United States Air Force.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wlfi.com/content/news/Saab-and-Purdue-announce-plans-to-open-site-near-University-509638591.html|title=Saab announces plans to open next-generation fighter jet plant near Purdue University|website=WLFI News|language=en|access-date=8 May 2019|archive-date=8 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190508173347/https://www.wlfi.com/content/news/Saab-and-Purdue-announce-plans-to-open-site-near-University-509638591.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
