“Almost completely burned out”: some details of the crash of the Su-57 are announced

Some details of the crash with the fifth-generation fighter Su-57 (T-50), which was tested on December 24 in the Komsomolsk-on-Amur region, continue to be published. We are talking about a combat fighter, which they were going to be the first to deliver to the Russian Aerospace Forces before the end of this year.

According to the latest information, the plane was flown by an experienced test pilot Aleksey Gorshkov. It was he who conducted the acceptance test, lifting the Su-57 into the air from the Dzemgi airfield.

The reports say that having raised the fighter to a height of about 10 thousand meters, the pilot was faced with a loss of control. He reported this "tower". Uncontrolled by the pilot began to decrease in height, after which the plane fell into a tailspin, being at an altitude of up to 8 thousand meters. The test pilot took all measures to stabilize the flight, but this could not be done. As a result, he fulfilled the command for the implementation of the bailout. An ejection took place at an altitude of about 2 km above the uninhabited area.

It is known that as a result of the contact of the combat vehicle with the ground, the aircraft completely destroyed. A fire broke out, as a result of which what was left of the Su-57 after the attack burned out almost completely.

Experts, based on information about the fall of the Su-57, believe that the cause of the crash could be problems with the tail.

At the moment, a special commission is working in the Khabarovsk Territory, which also includes developers of the fifth generation fighter. The Commission is studying the flight parameters in order to make a possible adjustment to the design of other Su-57s, preparing to be put into service with the Russian Air Force.

well done pilot, survived, then they will find a reason from his words.

[Aerodrome]

The Commission is studying flight parameters in order to make possible adjustments to other Su-57s, which are being prepared for deployment to the Russian Air Force.

not "correction" and not serviceability will be eliminated .. journalists ... a serviceable plane, flies like an angel. There are no equal aerobatics.

[Lynx-z]

the fact that the plane crashed means that it had a malfunction, but does not mean that all aircraft of this type are malfunctioning ..
but there is a likelihood of the same malfunction occurring under certain conditions, therefore, it is necessary to find out the cause and possibly (!) make an adjustment to the design

[Mar.Tirah]

Proceeding from the fact that: "Now representatives of the Ministry of Defense are at the plant who, apparently, were just going to receive the fallen fighter" - there are good reasons to believe: 1. That there were no exorbitant loads. All these loads are done at the stage of static tests, at most on prototypes, but certainly not on serial machines. This is tantamount to the fact that the manager of a car dealership will, with a potential buyer, "hammer" the car into all corners or pillars. 2. The factory workers were "aware" that on the 25th the first serial was to be handed over solemnly. For this purpose, the relevant delegation arrived in advance. The plane was naturally prepared in accordance with all the relevant requirements, about a week was "driven" at the airfield, flew in the air for more than one hour, including initially with an escort. All this at the airfield was recorded by a video operator, with a clear purpose. And then at the very end it is! In the morning, the plane was properly prepared and at the end of these procedures, it briskly took off in the direction of the north. They began to suspect that something had happened to the plane, after a little later the rescue helicopter on duty took off and "left" in the same direction. Fortunately, they managed to pre-prepare it for flight in such a frost of about minus 40 degrees. So what happened there we can only guess. But I am prone to a factory defect. A very large load fell on KnAAZ both for SU-57 and Superjets. And everywhere there is a lag in terms of charts.

To do this, before acceptance and conduct tests. so I don’t see much tragedy. They’ll figure it out, and it’s not like that in history. Some SU-24, only during the test lost 12 pcs., Not to mention the problems in the units. And MIG-24, how much it was modified already in the process of operation. And such examples are the sea.

Do not consider it such an overwhelming work and read these reflections-memories of the MiG test pilot, Hero of Russia, Alexander Garnaev. "Pilot error".
https://vk.com/topic-58037357_30803172
You will learn a lot of information: a) what failures are encountered by pilots in flight; b) the pilot's assessment of the hazard class of failure; c) the development by the pilot of an individual plan to combat this failure (relying on his own head, flight experience and physical capabilities); d) development by the pilot of the final intuitive solution (fight to the end or catapult in the presence of an ejection seat).
In the same story you can find out when and under what circumstances Roman Taskaev first catapulted (along with General Fedotov, by the way). I sincerely hope that your views on the accident with the Su-57 will undergo a radical rethinking on your part.

And not for the first time. In 2012, he was part of the crew of the SU-30MK2 crashed in February at 130 km. from Komsomolsk-on-Amur (this time the plane fell 110 km). So now he has three birthdays.

Very, very bad situation. Will specialists be able to determine the exact cause of the disaster?

[Alexander Suvorov]

If, as they say, problems could arise with the tail, then something like that was on the Mig-25 tests. At certain modes and at a certain speed, the aircraft began to rotate with a transition to an uncontrolled fall. When identifying this reason, test pilot Oleg Vasilievich Gudkov died.
So the emergency situations were, are and will be, there is no getting anywhere from this. It’s good that the pilot survived. Test pilots are piece copies (yes they will forgive me for copies), they will make one more car, but you will not return the dead pilot!

[bar]

Are there any reasonable doubts?

[Galleon]

I may have a naive question: why not embed the recording unit for parameters and negotiations (black box) in the pilot's seat? When bailout, all records would be saved. It's like taking a logbook with you.

[voyaka uh]

Sensible idea, by the way!

[Harry.km]

Quote: voyaka uh

Sensible idea, by the way!

After the bailout, the plane still flies and the recorders write ...

[voyaka uh]

This is true ... But usually when the pilot catapults, the reason is already clear.
But black boxes are not always found. And sometimes they find and hide
what they found if they want to confuse the investigation.
But if the box is built into the chair, they will definitely find it and all sorts of excuses will not work.

[bober1982]

An interesting thought, what does it mean - usually? and even more so about the reason, which is clear.
It is also unclear who exactly wants to confuse the investigation.

Quote: voyaka uh

What drawer, and how, and why should it (drawer) be built into the chair? After all, the pilot lands separately from the seat, the pilot "leaves" the plane with the seat, but then "everyone" moves along their own trajectories.

That's just the point that it is still necessary to be able to catapult.
Why not read it.

[venik]

Quote: bober1982

========
Well, it’s not so!
If you take the most common perfect Soviet / Russian seat K-36DM (used on the vast majority of modern Russian aircraft), it just uses a slightly different scheme:
......
After 0,8 seconds (after shooting a chair, at low speeds the headrest is shot, separation with a chair and parachute is launched. At high speeds, this happens after braking to an acceptable speed. Pilot comes down in a special seatunder which there is an oxygen system and a box with a portable emergency reserve (NAZ) (about 10 kg). 4 seconds after the separation with the chair, the NAZ detaches and hangs from below on the cable.
Well, WHAT interferes either in the "seat" or in the NAZ, if not in the "NAZ box" or even in the helmet or the pilot's pocket a portable storage device (sealed and shockproof (at the level of a wristwatch) - something like a "flash drive"), duplicate information from "black boxes" ???
- Firstly, it would greatly simplify, reduce the cost and speed up the removal of information (if the pilot survived, then the information goes to decryption - almost immediately after its rescue);
- Secondly, in case of damage to the "black boxes" - would allow to supplement information about the LTP;
- Thirdly - such an "innovation" (unless of course it is not yet) - looks neither too expensive nor extremely complicated !!!

[Lynx33]

So you need two recorders, but the backup one should be easier in fact in the pilot's seat.

I also had a question - why not build a "black box" into an ejection seat, or "on an extreme" - not "shoot" it together with the pilot (even if WITHOUT a parachute - a "black box" - not a man - will withstand and hitting the ground (unless of course there will be a fire) !!!

Usually, nothing remains of the cockpit ..... And the tail section (keel, etc.), according to "statistics" ... remains "more or less" not damaged (if so mildly and figuratively say ..). But sometimes nothing remains at all ...

Will be! Firstly, extra weight, secondly, extra hundreds of meters of wiring, thirdly, squibs and the possibility of shooting, in the end the opportunity to find this unit! If about a "beacon", how long will the battery last? Large batteries are overweight again. The pilot is not immediately found, but you mean some kind of "box".

[Petrix]

Quote: NN52

And if a disaster? The pilot did not have time to eject?

Leave the boxes as they were, but attach a flash drive in an armchair or suit. It does not need to be protected from overloads and other factors, and, accordingly, the weight is minimal.

There are no conclusions yet, but theoretically there are three such
1 independent of the aircraft. Weather or a pilot’s mistake, in this case it will affect the production minimally, the flight instructions will correct, someone will be punished, not very much
2 manufacturing defects in manufacturing
It will be reflected, but to a much greater extent
Something there at the plant will be corrected in quality, reported, time will be spent on changing production
3 fundamental defect in aircraft construction.

Well, why do you think so narrowly? What does the disaster of the first production copy of the Su-57 mean? - tarnished reputation, delayed access to the world market, on which the Americans (first of all) and the Chinese are already (the queue, as it were, was not even the first ...)
Do you need other examples of sabotage? You are welcome;
- "Proton" for 50 years put the sensor as it should and suddenly on you upside down (well, of course, by accident)
- "Soyuz" with its holes (probably a drunken installer screwed up ...)
- a strange series of fires on ships and submarines being repaired and on conservation (of course, the sailors of the PPB did not know, unlike the Bolsheviks in the 20s, then only one battleship was burned)
- by and large, the situation with "Nord Stream 2" is an example of competent sabotage
Yes, there’s a lot more ... this is when the case is single, you can refer to sloppiness and in our case it’s someone’s methodical painstaking work.

Agree, it’s somehow absurd for all of us to draw any conclusions here, and the very topic of the Su-57 crash got tired of it.
By the way, it happens that there is no fault in the plane crash, neither the pilot, nor the representatives of the manufacturer, and it happens. To distract ourselves, one can recall the Tu-4 crash at the Kuibyshev Aviation Plant N18 (August 18, 1951)
The plane was rolled out, not yet painted with LIS, and prepared for a test flight to practice firing and bombing, there were 15 (fifteen) people on board. After working at the training ground, when approaching Kuibyshev, the crew lost contact. The plane crashed, on board everyone died.
The conclusions of the commission, under the leadership of Colonel General Gromov - there is no fault of the crew and the manufacturer. Before making such conclusions, a great and thorough work was carried out with the involvement of the Air Force Research Institute and the MAP.

[Avior]

I by no means blame the pilot or technicians, or anyone else, but there must be one or another reason for the crash of the plane; didn’t it just so fall?
It’s just that I have grouped all the real possible causes into three main groups according to the possibility of delaying the production of aircraft, and the commission decides, here you are completely right.
There is a truth, and the fourth, they found no reason, which is also not very good from the point of view of production delays, especially, if God forbid, a similar situation will happen again.

F-35 and more flew, and the fuel pipe changed after a big flight hours
It is possible that the defect does not appear on all copies

I would not call the defect in the fuel line pipe fundamental.

not principal, and appears only on a small part of the sides

- 1) Pilot - EXPERIENCED! ("piloting error" is a little real!) ...
- 2) TEN (!) Cars have already been driven "in the tail and in the mane" (in all possible modes !!! And - NOTHING !!! So "constructive miscalculation" is also, "somehow not very good" .. .....
- 3) The option that some "innovations" that have not been tested earlier were applied on the First SERIAL aircraft - "I DO NOT BELIEVE !!!" .....

Remains - "jamb" or the manufacturer, or (most likely) - "subcontractors" - all the more the plane is already in a row - the 11th! (could and "relax") ....

It could even be. Experienced workshop and serial, if in this case they are not combined, have different technological principles and, accordingly, equipment. On new equipment, it is necessary to master a technical process different from the experimental one and usually many adjustments are made.
Note - the same part from different factories may differ, not in the main parameters of course. Even within the same production batch may vary. This is not to mention errors in the process that are more difficult to detect than explicit marriage.

But this is not $ 200M, but $ 38M. True, I unreasonably believe that it costs 2 times more expensive, but still not nearly $ 200M.

2,5 billion rubles - for Russia this is a decent amount, with this money you can open an average plant.

Let them search. If not complete fools, they will not fail the project. While in the ranking of armies, Russia has the 2nd place. If our elite "drowns" several of these high-tech projects, then positions may shift and Russia may look differently, including in trade relations.

Not a single project has been drowned - but this one is suddenly drowned.

[spectr]

Now, probably, TAM in private conversation was not the only one who spoke about the suspension of the order. If this happens, then this may be enough to drown the project.

[Vadim237]

It’s not for that that they start it - to suspend it all the more so it is a private office.

Here the question is no longer in efficiency, but in whose team the "player" (developer) is.
If the Sukhoi design bureau has crossed someone's path, then they will concoct a document where they will expose the aircraft's flaws, inflate them to gigantic proportions and justify the need for a new development at the MiG or Yak.
The Su-57 had problems with the order, but someone managed to give the project a kick and he got to Putin. A plane crash can cross out everything and even add problems to this accelerator.

Lord, some kind of sabotage is being invented. The plant, as usual, was supposed to hand over the plane to the People, Party and Leader by the new year. Of course, completed in the rump. Of course, it turned out as usual.
The only thing that can be called a diversion here is the practice that had begun since the union to hand over the equipment on November 7, the birthday of the Secretary General, new year etc.

well done pilot, survived, then they will find a reason from his words.

The pilot is very suspicious. He already crashed the Su-30 once during the test, and now the Su-57. Does it work for the enemy?

And I see in your message the intrigue of the enemy. This flyer HOW MUCH AIRPLANES DIDN'T CRASH! But, in fact, had such an opportunity. Enemies don’t do that. There is more harm from your message than from the pilot.

And where should problems come to light if not in trials? In real battle? Where is the real combat mission posed, on which the lives and outcomes of the battles depend? Or maybe planes should fall with people like the latest unfinished boeing? Do not say stupid gentlemen.

This is the first serial machine for the Air Force - all technical tests have already been completed on the previous 12 machines. Vienna in a disaster or in a manufacturing defect or in a short-hand assembly - there is no third.
