Bright footage of a demonstration flight of the Russian fifth-generation fighter Su-57 has appeared online. The pilot circled over the ground, turning 90 degrees along the longitudinal axis.
In this case, the lifting force of the wing does not work, the plane actually stays in the air due to a complex combination of vectors — like in a physics textbook. It's like motorcycle racing on a vertical wall, except there is no wall!
It should be noted that every performance of a Russian aircraft turns into a vivid demonstration of the capabilities of a well-balanced integrated glider and engines with controlled thrust vector.
Earlier, the network published that very video of flights by Honored Test Pilot of the Russian Federation Sergei Bogdan on the Su-57 at the Dubai Airshow – 2025 international exhibition, for which he was temporarily suspended.
