The first Gripen E manufactured by Embraer in Brazil performed its inaugural flight, piloted by a Saab test pilot, after being assembled at Gavião Peixoto.

The flight confirmed the aircraft's expected performance and gathered data for the production acceptance campaign before delivery to the Brazilian Air Force, after which the aircraft will receive airworthiness certification and be transferred to Base Aérea de Anápolis to join the 1st Air Defence Group; the program plans to produce 15 units in Brazil as part of a 2014 contract for 36 fighters.
