At the outbreak of ww2 Sweden found
itself without any modern fighters to defend its skies. Delivery
of Seversky Republic EP-1 and Vultee Vanguard
ordered in USA was stopped after only 60 of the EP-1s reached Petsamo.
No other plane was readily available, so decision was made to design and
produce the new fighter at home. New plane was to be powered by
Swedish copy of Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp - STWC-3.
Considering
the power output of this engine, Lundberg who was in charge of the
design knew right from the start that this new fighter will be
underpowered. Extreme attention was then given to reduction of
aerodynamic drag as much as possible. Another obstacle was the
lack of aluminum which was allocated already for the production of SAAB
planes. This resulted in a steel tubing construction covered with
plywood... Despite of all the drawbacks, J-22 was a very
pleasant looking plane with pretty good characteristic. Its main
claim to fame was "the fastest plane in the world... comparing engine
power"....
