MAKS 2019 has arrived!!!
There goes the first video of this year's edition.
In the featured video, Roman Kondratiev (Роман Кондратьев), firstclass test pilot of the Sukhoi Company performs an amazing flight display with the latest and most modern russian 5th generation fighter aircraft, the Sukhoi SU57 during MAKS 2019 on August 28th at Ramenskoe airport in Zhukovskiy.
Unlike in previous editions, now the pilot is showcasing a higher speed segment of the aircraft's flight envelope which puts this flight display apart from those seen previously, which focused more on the low speed envelope. Despite this, the pilot performed a wide array of poststall maneuvers boasting off yet again the extreme maneuverability and controllability that make this fighter jet a formidable adversary in air to air combat.
Moreover, on August 27th, President Putin and President Erdogan met at the airshow to discuss a possible deal including export versions of the Su35 and the Su57. If Turkey ends up inking a contract to acquire any of these russianmade fighter jets, it will be a big deal for the russian aerospace industry. The negotiations are still developing.
The Sukhoi Su57, previously designated T50 (Сухой Су57 / T50) is a singleseat, twinengine, stealth fighter aircraft with multirole capability but designed for air superiority and attack operations. This jet aircraft is the product of the PAKFA (ПАКФА, Перспективный авиационный комплекс фронтовой авиации, literally "Prospective Aviation Complex of Frontline Aviation"), a fifthgeneration fighter programme of the Russian Air Force. The first prototype performed the maiden flight on January 29, 2010. Deliveries of production aircraft to the Russian Air Force are expected to begin in 2018.
The fighter is intended to succeed the MiG29 and Su27 in the Russian Air Force and to serve as the basis for the Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) while complementing the recently built fleets of SU35S and SU30SM. The initial production batch are to be delivered with a highly upgraded variant of the AL31F engine, extensively used by the Su27 family while a totally new turbofan jet powerplant is being designed from scratch. In fact the first prototype of this engine has already been fitted into a SU57 airframe and has already begun testing.
The Su57 has a blended wing body fuselage and incorporates allmoving horizontal and vertical stabilizers. The aircraft incorporates thrust vectoring nozzles and has adjustable leading edge vortex controllers (LEVCONs) that improve high angle of attack behaviour. The advanced flight control system and thrust vectoring nozzles make the aircraft highly maneuverable in both pitch and yaw, enabling it to perform poststall maneuvers such as the Pugachev's Cobra and the Bell maneuver, along with doing flat rotations with little altitude loss. The aircraft's high cruising speed and normal operating altitude is also expected to give it a significant kinematic advantage over older fighter jet generations.
