You don't find this device on any fighter jets that I'm aware of.

Then there is also the AMA rule that excludes this to contend with.
Hi Sean
See this video w/ a SAAB J37 Viggen STOL operation (2000ft TO/LDG)[link]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpxz_-ELi6U[/link]
Clamshell reversers (3). Since we who live in the "free world" regarding to imposed AMA regulations on speed, afterburners, reversers etc. we can add these devices, I know of at least one who built working reversers in his Viggen.
