Thai Gripen Successfully Tested a Taxiway Using Half Width of Normal Runway
03 Februari 2025
Gripen successfully tested the take-off and landing of a taxiway that is only "half" the width of a normal runway.
Squadron 701, Wing 7, prepared to bring the fighter aircraft JAS-39 Gripen to practice taking off and landing on a taxiway that is only 22 meters wide compared to the runway that is 45 meters wide, using a landing distance of only 2,000 feet, along with refueling and installing weapons, and running up to perform the mission again quickly.
This training is in line with the Air Force's strategy to increase the capability of fighter aircraft to be flexible in deploying forces and performing missions from all airports and suitable areas throughout Thailand.
