Brazil unveils first locally made supersonic fighter jet
Brazil Wednesday unveiled the first supersonic fighter jet to be produced locally, placing it among a small group of countries able to build such advanced aircraft. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva christened the F-39E Gripen fighter jet from the Swedish group Saab with champagne during a high-profile ceremony in Gaviao Peixoto in the state of Sao Paulo. The Brazilian presidency said the building of the supersonic jet was "unprecedented in Latin America."
