The Russian sixth-generation fighter will have to meet the increased modern requirements for engine power and become even less noticeable to enemy radars. This was stated by the chief pilot of the Sukhoi Design Bureau of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC, part of Rostec), test pilot Sergei Bogdan.
It must meet increased modern requirements. And of course, there is something to work on in terms of reducing visibility, and in all ranges. This is achieved both through the use of certain materials and component forms of construction.
Bogdan also added that the sixth-generation fighter should have a power plant with significantly improved characteristics - very low specific consumption and high thrust.
No matter how powerful the engines are, thrust is never enough, there is no such thing as too much. Creating an aircraft of the next generation is always a very costly technical issue, but we have forward movement in this direction.
Earlier www1.ru reported how the Su-35S fighter will repel the threat of ultra-long-range American AIM-174B missiles.
