It was also designed to be operated from runways as short as 500 meters. Development work was aided by the "<a href="/wiki/Sweden%E2%80%93United_States_relations#Military_relations" title="Sweden–United States relations">37-annex</a>" under which Sweden could access advanced U.S. <a href="/wiki/Aeronautics" title="Aeronautics">aeronautical</a> technology to accelerate both design and production.<sup id="cite_ref-SDRA_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SDRA-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The aircraft's aerodynamic design was finalised in 1963. The prototype performed its <a href="/wiki/Maiden_flight" title="Maiden flight">maiden flight</a> on 8 February 1967 and the following year the Swedish government ordered an initial batch of 175 Viggens.
