Hi!

Do they EVER get a *pleasant* surprise? As in "wow this sucker has
300 miles more range than we thought"? It always seems like it's
heavier than they thought or less range or lower speed or weird
aerodynamics. Seems like nothing positive ever pops up.

A few years ago it was reported in swedish aviation magazines that
Gripen has a little less drag then predicted during development.

Best regards,
