US media: CP-10 will make Russian videoconferencing systems even more deadly
Developed by the private enterprise "KB Sovremenny aviation Technologies "miniature aircraft with a forward swept wing CP-10 is a unique product that seems to be a success, writes The Nationlal Interest. The article is provided by the portal Political Kaleidoscope.
According to the American magazine, Russian Aerospace Forces “intend to purchase dozens of SR-10s as a replacement for their fleet training aircraft L-39 Albatross ”.
The CP-10 aircraft made its debut at the beginning of this year at the MAKS-2017 air show. "The machine is simple and not expensive, and should become a kind of intermediate flight simulator to fill the gap between the main training aircraft Yak-152 and the modern jet Yak-130, which is also capable of performing combat missions," the article says.
CP-10, apparently, is a fairly capable aircraft with excellent controllability at high angles of attack, the newspaper notes. “This is achieved with forward-swept wings. The technology itself was first tested on a secret carrier-based fighter Su-47 "Berkut" in the 1990s. The aircraft's glider is capable of withstanding 9G overloads and also has a high thrust-to-weight ratio thanks to its Motor Sich AI-25TL engine with a thrust of 3,860 pounds, ”the author writes.
However, the Ukrainian engine will soon be replaced by a similar AL-55 produced by NPO Saturn, he said. The thrust of the Russian engine, which was originally developed for the Indian HAL HJT-36 Sitara trainer, will be 3,880 pounds.
“Meanwhile, Design Bureau Modern Aviation Technologies began working on an unmanned version of the SR-10, called the AR-10 Argument. The unmanned aircraft is designed to perform all tasks - from reconnaissance to striking ground targets, ”the newspaper said.
The author points out that the successes of "Design Bureau Modern Aviation Technologies" primarily "demonstrate the development of private innovative technologies in Russia." This is evidenced by the firm contract, first issued by the Russian military department to a private aviation enterprise.
