The names are much less flashy, Draken (The kite, due to the shape) and Viggen (The tufted duck) :P.
- geon 1y agoYes, Draken and Viggen are officially named after the kite and the tufted duck, respectively. The names do however carry the other meanings as well. Draken means (the) kite, dragon and male duck. Viggen means (the) lightning and tufted duck.
