No plans for EJ200 Gripen

Hello, I am a new one

2 days ago I had sent a message to Volvo Aero. This was the message:

Dear Volvo Aero,

I have been reading for 2 years or so that SAAB Aerospace is interested in to fitting the Eurojet EJ200 engine on the JAS-39 Gripen. Volvo Aero stated that only few changes in the geometry of the air intakes are necessary for the installation. But there not any news concerning cooperation between Volvo Aero and Eurojet Turbo GmbH. Are you going to proceed with this modification?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Athanasios Ioannidis,

Today I received from Volvo Flygmotor this answer:

Dear Athanasios,
Β
I checked with our military engines department and there are no plans to replace the RM12 with the EJ200. A change of engine won’t give any significant increases in performance.Β It would also demand a major re-construction. The EJ200 is not installed in or adapted forΒ single engine aircraft.Β Β

Thus, there are still no plans for fitting a new engine. What do you believe?
