Probably better than most of the world. Because of their neutral nation status they buy rather than trade technology, so their industrial design is at least on the surface independent. Although they seem to rely a lot on GE products.

Gripen I cannot agree, but I have always been a big fan of the looks of the S tank

Among the jets, this the second most ugly airplane. The top honor goes to the Phantoms II.

They keep the "Swedish Bikini Team" on staff...

Even The Lansen had a pleasing shape to it, the versions without the recon bulge underneath anyway.
