Sergey Bogdan is confident that drones will not completely displace pilots

The chief pilot of the Sukhoi Design Bureau explained why the moment when the aircraft almost stops in the air becomes stressful for it

Part of the bureau's team may be assigned to the prospective fighter project

Tatyana Makovskaya: "The scale of the design approach surprised me"

Nikolay Chikunov: The aerodynamic layout of the fighter raises key questions

The single-engine aircraft will be a light alternative to the Su-57

According to Nikolay Chikunov, the project's problems begin at the concept stage

An engineer from the Mikoyan Design Bureau considers the aerodynamic design of the prospective aircraft risky

Sukhoi Design Bureau's development combined high speed, improved take-off and landing characteristics, and a large combat load in one aircraft

One school focuses on pragmatism, the other on technical avant-garde

Roman Gusarov: "Air combat has changed, the one with a more powerful radar and missiles is stronger"

Designer Chikunov: MiG's pragmatic approach may disappear from Russian combat aviation

Designer explained what MiG specialists might do after the design bureaus merge
