  • Aarne Lakomaa (1914–2001) was a Finnish aircraft designer. Born in Finland, Lakomaa graduated from Helsinki Polytechnics. He fought as an Army Lieutenant in the Winter War (1939–40) and the Continuation War (1941–44) against the Soviet Union. There he became famous for fitting captured Russian engines to the obsolete French fighter Morane-Saulnier M.S.406, thereby creating a first rate fighter, the Mörkö-Morane ("mörkö" being Finnish roughly for "bogeyman" or "hobgoblin"). Aarne Lakomaa first replaced the original Hispano-Suiza 12Y 31 liquid-cooled V-12 rated at 860 hp with a 1,100 hp Soviet engine— the Klimov M-105P—which was a war booty. This engine was installed under the cover of a more aerodynamic cowling and fitted with a different pitch propeller. The French M.S.406's airframe was strengthened, and an oil cooler from a Messerschmitt-109 replaced the old one. In this way over-heating problems was finally solved. As a result of these modifications, the improved version of Morane had a 36-mph speed advantage over all previous versions. Lakomaa was recruited to Saab in 1944 as an aircraft designer. He was involved in the development of the fighters Saab 35 Draken and Saab 37 Viggen, and later headed R&D at Saab where he designed a number of prototypes, including a rocket propelled interceptor, nuclear weapon carriers, replacements for the Draken and Viggen, which was initially developed to substitute the Saab 32, and a supersonic business jet. Aarne Lakomaa was a part of team that first began studies on this theme in 1952–57. They were aimed at producing an aircraft with excellent short runway performance. (en)
  • Aarne Lakomaa, född 31 maj 1914, död 2001, var diplomingenjör och löjtnant samt flygplanskonstruktör på Saab AB i Linköping. Lakomaa var inblandad i konstruktionen av Saab 90 Scandia, Saab 35 Draken, Saab 37 Viggen, samt det aldrig realiserade planet Saab 36. Lakomaa ledde under många år SAAB:s avdelning för experimentflygplan där han bland annat ritade prototyper till ersättare till Lansen, Draken och Viggen liksom en rad andra militära och civila flygplan. Lakomaa deltog i Finska vinterkriget och Fortsättningskriget på finsk sida där han bland annat kom på att man kunde utrusta de Morane-Saulnier MS.406-flygplan man köpt från Frankrike med motorer från erövrade ryska flygplan och därmed förvandla dem från närmast obsoleta till jaktplan som stod sig bra mot de ryska jaktplanen.
