The universal 177S can be installed on all aircraft of the "Sukhoi" family. Only a small modernization will be required when installed on the Su-57.
In terms of technical characteristics and weight and size, the engine corresponds to the previous generation. At the same time, its thrust has been increased - it is 14.5 tons, which is 2 tons more than the previous generation. The engine's time between overhauls is 1 500 hours, and the assigned service life is 6 000 hours. There has never been anything like this in Russian aviation before. There are no such engines in China yet.
