Gripen Crash Blamed on G-Forces
The Swedish Accident Investigation Board carried out tests on a simulator and the rests showed that high G-forces were the mostly likely cause of a Gripen fighter aircraft crash in April.
The tests show that when G-forces were sufficiently high, the plane's ejector seat is triggered, ejecting the pilot.
The board is expected to publish a full report on the incident in August.
