Designer Su-57 confirmed the regular mode of unusual landing of a fighter
The Russian International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS-2019 once again brings fresh information about the latest aircraft industry. So, the designer of the Su-57 Mikhail Strelets, in communication with reporters, explained the reasons for the unusual landing of the Su-57 with released brake parachutes.
- Sagittarius explained in a video published by airline journalist Alexander Yaskevich (belenkur).
According to the designer, the parachute is released at an altitude of 2-3 meters.
- Mikhail Strelets noted with irony, discussing the numerous comments of this landing: in them, users of social networks expressed opinions that the landing turned out to be contingent.
The non-standard landing of the Su-57 was recorded at the airfield in Zhukovsky two days earlier. Its peculiarity was that the plane did not release the parachute when the landing gear did not touch the surface, but a few meters above the ground.

Instructor pilot Andrei Krasnoperov, commenting on the plane’s landing for the Vzglyad newspaper, noted that such a landing was prohibited according to the instructions — the fighter had to touch the runway with the first wheel and have a stable mileage. Krasnoperov suggested that a test pilot was most likely at the helm - and pilots of this class are usually allowed more than ordinary pilots.
At the MAX-2019, the Su-57 was first introduced to the general public in a static parking lot. In addition, an export version of the Russian multi-functional fighter was presented.
In particular, Ankara showed interest in the car. Turkish President Rajep Erdogan, together with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, inspected the plane, after which the head of the Turkish Republic asked if it would be possible to buy a plane.
In addition to the interest in buying the Su-57 and Su-35, Turkey is considering a possible joint development of a fifth-generation fighter based on the Turkish concept aircraft TF-X.
