The crew of the Russian fifth-generation Su-57 multirole fighter, under the control of test pilot Sergei Bogdan, demonstrated elements of complex high-maneuverability aerobatics in preparation for the AirShow China exhibition in China.
Such pirouettes are unattainable for almost all types of tactical fighters of the NATO Air Forces and the PRC Air Force, noted military expert Evgeny Damantsev.
The AL-41F1 engine thrust vectoring system allows the machine to perform turns in the yaw plane at near-zero speeds, while the flat nozzles of the Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100 engines of the F-22A «Raptor» fighters, which are deflected only in the vertical plane, provide control of the machine only in the pitch plane.
The Airshow China 2024 exhibition will be held in Zhuhai from November 12 to 17. The Russian delegation will present fighters, advanced aircraft engines, missiles for helicopters and airplanes, as well as much more at the event.
