Serial production of the new generation AL-51F1 engine (or "Product 30") for the Su-57 fighter will soon be launched in Russia, according to military expert Dmitry Kornev.
With it, the aircraft will be able to fully meet all the requirements for fifth-generation fighters.
AL-51F1 is a second-stage engine. Serial Su-57s will receive the power plant, which will significantly improve their characteristics, including power, fuel efficiency, and stealth.
The engine will increase thrust compared to the previous AL-41F1, which will allow the Su-57 to reach supersonic speed without afterburner. The introduction of a new nozzle will reduce the radar signature of the aircraft.
Aerodynamic lift and stability at supersonic speeds are increased thanks to the flat fuselage, updated airframe, and weapon bays.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the frigate "Admiral Golovko" launched a hypersonic "Zircon" in the Barents Sea guided by a Tu-142.
