The prototype of the Gripen wasn't so successful: it crashed on his sixth flight, on February 2, 1989 at Linköping. The pilot flew for the first time with the Gripen, he had some problems with the stability (fly-by-wire) of the fighter. During the landing he hit with his left-wing the runway and crashed. The pilot had only a broken elbow.
