The company "Sukhoi" began flight tests of the third serial fighter Su-35С
Moscow, 17 January. Today from the airfield Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Production Association them. Yu.A. Gagarina (KnAAPO) took off the serial multi-purpose fighter Su-35С-3. For more than 2 hours, various modes of operation of the power plant and the integrated control system were tested. The characteristics of stability and controllability were checked. There are no comments to the operation of engines, systems and equipment. The plane was piloted by test pilot Taras Artsebarsky.
As part of the flight test program, Su-35 fighters performed more than 400 flights. The Su-35-1,2 aircraft are presented to the 929 State Flight Test Center (GLITS) for state joint tests (GSI) and from August 15 this year. embarked on an agreed program.
At the same time, the first serial Su-35-1 is connected to it. At Su-35-1,2, preliminary flight tests were performed, during which the main installed flight characteristics of the on-board equipment complex and super-maneuverability characteristics were verified, stability and controllability characteristics, propulsion system characteristics, and navigation system operation were checked. The maximum ground speed attained is 1400 km., At an altitude of 2400 km., The ceiling is 18 thousand. The target detection range in air-to-air mode is over 400 km. This is significantly higher than that of aircraft in service. On-board RLS allows you to detect and track several targets at a distance over 80 km. The complex is ready for passing tests for combat use.
Su-35 is a deeply modernized, highly maneuverable multi-purpose fighter of the “4 ++” generation. It uses fifth-generation technologies that provide superiority over fighters of a similar class. Distinctive features of the aircraft are a new avionics complex based on a digital information management system integrating on-board equipment systems, a new radar station with a phased array with a long detection range of air targets, with an increased number of simultaneously tracked and fired targets (tracking 30 and attack 8 air targets, as well as tracking 4 and attack 2 of ground targets), new engines with increased thrust and a rotary thrust vector. Su-35 has a wide range of weapons of long, medium and short range. Capable of being driven aviation anti-radar weapons, anti-radar, anti-ship, general purpose, adjustable bombs (ACS), as well as unguided anti-radar weapons.
Radar visibility fighter compared to the fourth generation aircraft reduced several times due to the electrically conductive coating of the cockpit canopy, the application of radar absorbing coatings and a reduced number of protruding sensors. Aircraft life - 6 thousand flight hours, service life - 30 years of operation, assigned life of the engines with a controlled nozzle - 4 thousand hours.
