The Saab 210 Draken (Dragon or Kite) was a scaled-down test bed for the double-delta concept in the development of the Saab 35 Draken fighter. Although never officially named anything but Draken by Saab, it soon became known by its unofficial nickname Lilldraken (Little Dragon or Little Kite) after the first flight of the prototype of the Saab 35. Its first flight was on 21 January 1952.
