The new flat nozzle of the fifth-generation Su-57 multirole fighter will not worsen its maneuvering characteristics, according to Mikhail Strelets, the chief designer of the combat aircraft.
According to him, the installation angle of the new nozzle is maintained with the axisymmetric nozzle, so all the aircraft's super-maneuverability capabilities are also preserved.
One of the main advantages of a flat nozzle is that it narrows the high-temperature jet, which reduces the aircraft's visibility. Among foreign fighters, only the American F-22 has flat nozzles. However, they only deflect in the vertical plane, so our aircraft has more maneuvering capabilities.
Strelets added that the main thing in the Su-57 is not the new engines with a flat nozzle, but the onboard computer or the so-called "brains" with artificial intelligence, which the Sukhoi Design Bureau is "constantly upgrading."
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the secrets of the design of the engine with a flat nozzle for the Su-57 fighter have been revealed.
