SUKHOI SO-7
The fighter is designed to have supercruise, supermaneuverability, stealth, and advanced avionics to overcome the prior generation fighter aircraft as well as ground and naval defences.
Its internal name is th T-50 and is the designation intended for a stealth single seat, twin engine multi-role fifth-generation fighter designed for air superiority and attack operations. Interesting facts about the Su-57 include that it's going to be the first aircraft in Russian military service to use the stealth technology. The fighter is planned to have a super cruise stealth superb maneuvarability and advanced avionics in order to overcome the prior generation fighter aircraft as well as ground and maritime defences. The fighter is intended to succeed the mig-29 and Su-27 in the Russian air force and serve as the basis for a fifth generation fighter aircraft being co-developed by Sukhoi and Hindusthani Aeronautics Limited for the Indian air force of its design.
The SU 57 has a blended wing body fuselage that incorporates all moving horizontal and vertical stabilizers. The vertical stabilizers tow inwards in order to serve as the aircraft's air brake. And the aircraft also incorporates thrust vectoring having adjustable leading-edge vortex controllers designed to control vortices generated by the landing-edge route extensions. It can also provide trim and improve high angles of attack behavior including the quick stall recovery if the thrust vectoring system fails. The advanced flight control system and thrust vectoring nozzles also make the aircraft departure resistant and highly maneuverable in both pitch and yaw. The aircraft's high cruising speed and normal operating altitude is also expected to give it significant kinematic advantages over prior generations of aircraft of the engine pre-production T-50 and initial production batches of the SU-57 will use interim engines. A pair of NPO saturn is delay 117 or al-41 f1 closely related to the Saturn 11 7's engine that's used by the Su-35s and the 117 engine is a highly improved and operated variant of the al-31 powering the su-27 family of aircraft.
The 117 engine produces 93.1 KN of dry thrust and 1407.1 KN of thrust afterburner. Also having a thrust to weight ratio of 10:5:1. The engines have full authority digital engine control and are intergrated into the flight control system to facilitate maneurability and handling. Of its specifications it features a crew of 1 with an empty weight of 18,000 kg. Its maximum takeoff weight is 35,000kg and has two engines featuring the saturn al-4 1 f1 for initial production and the isd'lai 30 for later production turbo fans. it has a dry thrust of 93.1KN and 107 KN each with a thrust afterburner featuring 147KN and 176 KN of its performance. Its maximum speed at altitude is 2600km/h with the super cruise of 1700km/h and range of 3500km subsonic and 1500km subsonic its service ceiling is 20,000 meters and has an armament featuring a 30mm Gryazew-shipunov GS h 301 autocannon in the right left con route. It's hard points include 12 which are six external along with provisions to carry a combination of missiles of the air-to-air missile capacity. It fearures 4 RV VMD and two R-73 air surface two missiles can include 4 KH 38 m es anti-ship missiles featuring 2KH 35 es & anti-radiation missiles featuring 4KH 58u SHK es.
