这 萨博 210 德拉肯 （龙或风筝）是J 35战斗机开发中双三角概念的缩小试验台。虽然萨博从未正式命名过Draken以外的任何东西，但在萨博35原型机首次飞行后，它很快就以其非官方昵称Lilldraken（小龙或小风筝）而闻名。它的首次飞行是在1952年1月21日。

General Characteristics and Role
The SAAB 210 Lilldraken (“Little Dragon”) was a revolutionary Swedish experimental aircraft designed and built by Saab in the early 1950s. It was created purely as a one-third scale research platform to test the novel and complex double delta wing configuration proposed for the supersonic Saab 35 Draken fighter. The Lilldraken was a critical step in the Draken’s development, as the double delta design—characterized by a small, highly-swept inner delta wing and a larger, less-swept outer delta—was entirely new and its aerodynamic properties needed real-world validation, especially at low speeds. Its unique profile and small size made it one of the most distinctive and important experimental aircraft of its era.

Design Innovations and Performance
- Engine: 1 x Armstrong Siddeley Adder turbojet engine (non-afterburning).
- Thrust: Approx. 475 kgf (1,047 lbf).
- Key Innovation: The primary purpose was to test the double delta wing, which was necessary to give the subsequent Draken fighter both high-speed performance (via the inner delta) and low-speed stability (via the outer delta).
- Air Intakes: The Lilldraken featured large lateral air intakes on either side of the cockpit, which were also representative of the intended design for the larger Draken.
- Test Program: The aircraft successfully performed numerous flights, validating the stability, control, and general handling characteristics of the radical double delta configuration before the full-scale fighter was finalized.
Legacy and Final Status
- Successor: The knowledge gained from the Lilldraken program was directly applied to the full-scale development and successful deployment of the Mach 2-capable Saab 35 Draken fighter.
- Operational Status: Only one example of the SAAB 210 was ever built.
- Preservation: The single prototype is now preserved and displayed at the Flygvapenmuseum (Swedish Air Force Museum) in Linköping, Sweden.
