The airframe provided the aircraft with greater aerodynamic lift and improved stability at supersonic speeds.

Presumably, the adjustments to the airframe design are due to the desire for a more rational use of the significantly increased flight capabilities, which should be provided by new engines of the AL-51F type.

Also, the modernized Su-57 received an improved radar station (RWS) with an active phased array antenna, which will improve the pilot's situational awareness.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that T-90M "Proryv" tanks will be hidden from drones under "Nakidka": the probability of detection will be reduced by 30%.
