Indeed, Saab used to and still does build planes, but the car division is now owned by GM, so they are two different companies now; the J21A is a Saab built during WWII, the JA37 Viggen is only one of the many aeroplanes they've built, and happens to be the most famous because it shares the name with the 9-3 Viggen, which by the way means "Thunderbolt".
