Fpl 35-5 was the first aircraft built to Saab 35A-series specifications. It featured an original Rolls-Royce Avon Mk.48A (RM6BE) engine and had the same afterburner and tail as the J 35A1 (Adam short) variant.

In 1928, the rear of the tank was modified to strengthen it. [3] At the same time, a new design of brake-block was fitted. [3] The transmission was also heavily reworked. [5] The tank was the subject of industrial and political espionage, the plans ending up in the Soviet Union, where they may have influenced the design of the T-28 and T-35 tanks.

Design specifications for the VK 70.01 project changed throughout its developmental history. Primary armament would’ve been either a 105, 128, or 150 mm gun, while armour ranged from 100–120 mm (3.9–4.7 in) frontally and 80–100 mm (3.1–3.9 in) on the sides.
' development '), more commonly known as the E-Series, was a late-World War II attempt by Nazi Germany to produce a standardised series of tank designs. There were to be standard designs in five different weight classes (E-10, E-25, E-50, E-75 and E-100) from which several specialised variants were to be developed.
Submitted designs and drawings of the vehicle went under the names OKH Auftrag Nr. 30404 and E-30404/1, which were presented in December 1942. The tank was planned to be 1000 tonnes, far heavier than the Panzer VIII " Maus " , the heaviest tank ever built (weighing 188 tonnes).
