  2. The SAAB 210, an experimental aircraft built to test the double delta wing concept that would be used on the Draken. The two pitot static tubes are extended into the 'clear' air to get accurate airspeed data. It looks like the right wing has short strips of yarn taped to the surface so that the airflow can be observed.

  3. That explains why it looks like the jet you'd get into as an escape pod if the actual aircraft had a problem.
