The company "Sukhoi" completes preliminary testing of a new multipurpose fighter Su-35 and plans this fall to provide an aircraft for the state joint tests (ICG). Su-35 as a promising Complex Frontal Aviation (PAK FA), will ensure the safety of the sky of Russia in the new century.
According to Interfax-AVN director of the Su-35, the chief designer of the Sukhoi Design Bureau Igor Demin, bringing the aircraft to the ICG can be expected in September or October. According to him, now in flight testing involved two Su-35 fighter. At the stage of ICG their number will be increased to six. The third car will take off in the fourth quarter of this year.
As Igor Demin, a program of flight tests of the Su-35 provides for the implementation of a fairly large number of flights. This is due to the fact that this machine set a lot of new systems and components, apply the most modern aircraft weapon.
Earlier it was reported that during the preliminary tests multi-purpose fighter Su-35 is fully confirmed the declared characteristics. In particular, it has been a top speed at sea level 1.400 km / h, at a height - 2.500 km / h, ceiling - 19 thousand meters range target detection in the "air - air - more than 400 km, which is significantly higher than figure standing in the arsenal of aircraft.
Su-35 along with promising aviation complex tactical aircraft (PAK FA) will largely determine the level of Russia's defense capability in the foreseeable future. In accordance with a prisoner in the 2009 state contract to supply the Ministry of Defence in 2015, 48 Su-35 factory Sukhoi in Komsomolsk-on-Amur serial production of fighter aircraft, the first of which will be commissioned later this year. Production deliveries will start in 2011.
Technology embodied in the Su-35 program, will allow a relatively short period of time to conduct a partial upgrade of the air forces of the country and quickly master the technique of the next generation.
Company Sukhoi is also negotiating with foreign clients interested in re-equipping its air force. Production deliveries of Su-35 for export are planned for 2012.
Su-35 - deeply modernized super maneuverable multifunctional fighter generation "4 + +". It uses a fifth-generation technology, providing superiority fighter class.
Distinctive features of the aircraft are new avionics based on digital information management system that integrates avionics systems, new radar station (radar) with a phased array with long-range detection of air targets with an increased number of simultaneously tracked and fired targets. The airplane is the new engines with increased thrust and turning thrust vector.
Su-35 has the broad nomenclature of weapons large, medium and short range. It can be operated air attack antiRLS, antikorabl general purpose, adjustable, bombs, and unguided weapons.
Radar visibility fighter planes compared with the fourth generation is reduced by several times due to an electrically conductive coating cockpit, causing the radio absorbing coatings and reduced the number of speakers sensors. Resource aircraft - 6 thousand flight hours, lifetime - 30 years of operation, the designated resource engines with controlled nozzle - 4 thousand hours.
