First Su-30SM2 powered by AL-41F-1S engine to take off before the end of the year

A new modification of the Russian Su-30 multifunctional fighter, the Su-30SM2, will take off by the end of this year. Reported by "News" with reference to the Ministry of Defense and the Defense Industry Complex.

According to the newspaper, the Ministry of Defense gave permission for the first flight of the Su-30SM2 prototype with the AL-41F-1S engine "product 117S". According to the work schedule, the aircraft manufacturers signed a contract to check the readiness of the aircraft for the first flight. It is expected that the Su-30SM2 will take to the air by the end of the year.

Thus, the new Su-30SM2 will receive the AL-41F-1S engine, the onboard electronics, radar, optical location station will be improved, and the range of weapons will be expanded. According to the plans of the Ministry of Defense, the entire fleet of Su-30SM fighters will be upgraded to the level of the Su-2SM30. By the end of the year, the military department intends to sign a contract for the supply of 21 new-built Su-30SM2 fighters.

As previously reported, within the framework of the import substitution program, the Adaptation-Su design and development project was launched on the base Su-30SM. In the course of this ROC, it was initially planned to strengthen the fighter's armament and change the avionics. In this form, the aircraft received the designation Su-30SM1. However, further it was decided to maximize the unification of the Su-30SM and Su-35S. The version with the installation of the AL-41F-1S and the Irbis radar, coupled with the previously made changes, received the Su-30SM2 index.

The Su-30SM fighter has been serially supplied to the troops since 2013. The aircraft is armed with an extensive arsenal of high-precision weapons and bombs.

Comments

[d4rkmesa]

Interestingly, is this a special modification of the aircraft, or is it still about a new single engine based on the Al-41f1S with a reduced diameter?

[Zaurbek]

The same question. They wrote that the 41st would not fit in diameter and there was an article yesterday about a single turbojet engine for the Su27 / 30

[VO3A]

Read about the engine from the source:
https://www.aviaport.ru/news/2020/07/30/647651.html

[d4rkmesa]

Nothing new. From what is written, these are probably different topics.

[Errr]

Quote: d4rkmesa

... talking about a new single engine based on Al-41f1S with a reduced diameter?

We are not talking here about "a new single engine based on the AL-41F-1C (product 117C), because for installation in the Su-27 / Su-30, the dimensions of the" product 117C "itself need not be reduced at all.

In terms of its geometric parameters and attachment points on the aircraft, the 117C (AL-41F-1C) engine corresponds to its predecessors AL-31F and AL-31FP. This makes it possible, with minor modifications to the nacelle and equipment, to use the 117C (AL-41F-1C) engine to modernize the fleet of previously produced Su-27 / Su-30 aircraft.

A source: http://roe.ru/catalog/vozdushno-kosmicheskie-sily/dvigateli/al-41f-1s/ .

[d4rkmesa]

The "insignificance" of the engine nacelle modification is somewhat exaggerated. The AL-41F-1S has a fan diameter of 932 instead of 905 for the Al-31f, it is not so easy to take and install it, design changes are required, approximately as in the Su-35. Of course, this is possible in the factory, but these are new tests, etc.

[Errr]

When comparing the outside diameters of the motors you mentioned, you will be somewhat surprised. For AL-31F it is 1277 mm, and for AL-41F-1C - 1180 mm; the new one is somewhat thinner. True, in fairness, it is at the same time as much as 48 mm longer. I don't think this is very critical; somewhere this increase in length the size of a matchbox will be determined.

[Errr]

Quote: d4rkmesa

For AL-41F-1S, the fan diameter is 932 instead of 905 for Al-31f

Read on the UEC UMPO website at http://umpo.ru/products/turboreaktivnye-dvigateli/al-41f-1s/?sphrase_id=4584 for AL-41F-1C:

Inlet diameter, mm - 905

[d4rkmesa]

Hehe, well, not true. Take a closer look, this is the data of the basic Al-31F. As for the comment above ... If it were that simple, the Su-35 would not be that different from the Su-27. On the whole, I am glad for Irkut that they have a job. However, working out 2 approaches at once: a new modification of the aircraft for the engine and a new engine for the existing aircraft is alarming. On the other hand, it is possible that the new engine is being made for the Indians - they are unlikely to want to drive all their 250+ aircraft into the HAL workshop again.

[Errr]

Hehe, what's not true?
If you can't follow the link http://umpo.ru/products/turboreaktivnye-dvigateli/al-41f-1s/?sphrase_id=4584 , then here is a snapshot of a fragment of this page. Voila.

[d4rkmesa]

"we look at the book and see a fig." Someone at UMPO screwed up and inserted the Al-31F data into the Al-41F-1s datasheet. Once again, take a closer look. =)

[Errr]

Mdja ... So trust the people after the entourage!

[avg]

What are the difficulties? The new aircraft are produced in the Su-30SM2 modification. And the Su-30SM is being modernized in the process of repair, and a couple of field crews are being organized.

[Prapor-527]

Explain who is in the subject, why the SU-30 has an even number in the designation? He's a fighter.

[max702]

I wonder if the SU-34 can also be transferred to this engine? It would be logical to have one engine for all aircraft. And then adapt product 30 for the entire model range.

[d4rkmesa]

If only without UVT.

[max702]

A UHT then what interferes? Is that the construction becomes more expensive.

[Insurgent]

The Su-30SM fighter has been serially supplied to the troops since 2013. The aircraft is armed with an extensive arsenal of precision weapons and bombs.

Among other things, if I'm not mistaken, the Su-30 of various modifications has the largest commercial success of the entire family of Sukhoi fighters abroad ...

[SAG]

And how will the su-30cm2 differ from the su-35?!? Is it really just a spark ...

[A009]

Here you are, of course. The name is clear!

[VO3A]

Is it really just a spark ...

Isn't that just enough? Spark is the most used aircraft! Differs in reduced combat radius and load. And also the question of the front horizontal tail, allowing to implement the principle of direct control of the aerodynamic force in the longitudinal channel ...

[Eug]

Direct control of the lifting force in the longitudinal channel is not implemented. PGO is used to improve the balancing and unloading of the wing roots.

[VO3A]

And what did they finish? NUPS is not for a common man in the street!

[Eug]

KhAI in 1987, specialty - aircraft automatic control systems, was engaged in modeling flight dynamics, incl. NUPS and NUBS in unmanned aircraft. Yes, and more - like the Su-30SM2 without PGO.

[figwam]

Probably due to the fact that the “Irbis” is lighter than the “Barca”.

[Hexenmeister]

That's right, no, because this is an aircraft of the T-10 line, and the Su-30SM, essentially a "Russified" Su-30MKI, is already a T-10M line, and it has a PGO.

Not. The Air Force and the Navy MA buy only the Su-30SM (Of the two-seater, of course). The Su-34 fighter-bomber / front-line bomber certainly does not count.

[NN52]

PGO did not please you? And the word "like" probably should be taken then in quotes?

[Eug]

I have no preferences for the presence or absence of PGO, the decision is for the designers. I assumed that he was not on the Su-30SM2, because in the extreme version of the Su-35 for today, it is not, which means that other ways of solving problems have appeared, for which the PGO was used earlier.

[rudolff]

Export Su-30s have options, both with and without PGO. On the Su-35, they refused, considering that the controlled thrust vector would be sufficient.

[Eug]

I can only guess, because I live across the border and can only use open information and some speculation. Maneuverability seriously depends on the degree of aircraft instability, but in order to transform this instability from "-" into "+", one needs computing power and performance of the actuators. PGO was used when other means were insufficient, as soon as the computing power and speed of the power cylinders were sufficient to ensure flight characteristics, the PGO was abandoned. Something like this..

[Bad_gr]

Quote: Eug

I assumed that he was not on the Su-30SM2, because in the extreme version of the Su-35 for today, it is not, which means that there are other ways of solving problems for which the PGO was used earlier.

In my opinion, there are 2 reasons why there is no PGO on the Su-35s:
Su-27 static instability 5% MAR. (The Su-30 was made on the basis of the Su-27UB, which means it is identical).
Su-35, the degree of its static instability has been brought to 20%.
That is, it will not add maneuverability to the Su-35, and since the aircraft is mainly intended for gaining air superiority, then in this case there is no need for PGO. Unlike the Su-30SM, which often replace the Su-24, where it operates at low altitude, and the PGO reduces the load on both the airframe and the pilot.

[mmaxx]

Oh, yooo ... Look at the pictures on Wikipedia. Somehow you were taught strange.

[mmaxx]

There is a Su-30SM. CM2 will receive upgrades from just CM. No one will remove the PGO from there.
Have you ever seen a plane? Alive. He has a lot of things inside. To remove, half of the plane must be gutted.

Quote: SAG

And how will the su-30cm2 differ from the su-35?!?

It was enough to make a twin from the Su-35, it would be cheaper and faster.

A very controversial statement. These are different planes, it is immediately clear that you have nothing to do with aviation ...

You can't fit it, the equipment and blocks for 2 cabins differ from the usual one with an additional channel ... Much different, the blocks are different, is it clear now? Accommodation on the plane is different ?! Combat and spark on the basis of even this aircraft are different aircraft, remember!

[figwam]

Quote: VO3A

Already fit, read carefully.

Thus, the new Su-30SM2 will receive the AL-41F-1S engine, the onboard electronics, radar, optical location station will be improved, and the range of weapons will be expanded.

[figwam]

Spark had to be done immediately after the Su-35, and after that, for the strike aircraft, it was enough to re-equip the second crew member's seat for an operator pilot.

The Su-30SM is a 4+ generation, and now 4 ++ needs to be made of it.

The problem is that when replacing engines, radar, electronics on the Su-30SM, it will also need to be tested.

[mmaxx]

Military equipment is not civilian. They will experience it without problems.

[Cyril G ...]

Quote: Wolverine

Cheaper and faster ?!

I think so. For. The ability to get a two-seat combat training fighter was already included in the design of the Su-27. In the end, which is easier, to shake up the entire structure of the Su-30SM to bring it to the level of the Su-35, or to make the Su-35 a two-seater?
In addition, it is necessary to standardize the technological processes as well. Irkut and Komsomolsk. And then, over time, the production of the Su-35 / 35UB would be completely transferred to Irkut, and the Su-57 would be built in Komsomolsk. By the way, NAZ should be transferred to the production of Su-57 in a few years

[mmaxx]

This was not and will not be. Su-35 transmission.

[mmaxx]

Hey Hey!? Who minus, can we justify? AND? Minus is deeply indifferent to me. Just wondering.

[mmaxx]

Though a bit late, but I will explain to the minusers on my fingers. The darn was understandable.
Aircraft building is a business. With big money. Let's discard the very first thing: the political aspects - the graters of Poghosyan and Irkut. The fact that Sukhoi will hand over the production of a new aircraft to Irkut is fantastic, but maybe some Putin will force it. Okay.
And here is the second. This is that the capacities of the Komsomolsk plant are excessive, and the Irkutsk plant is insufficient - this is quite another thing. The orders of Komsomolsk will not be given to Irkutsk only for this reason. Putting the features, those where another plane for production, having everything at home, is nonsense. And third, they have already written in letters here: what to do with the almost new Su-20SM? Incompatible with either the Su-35 or the Su-57? The most normal thing is to capitalize after the necessary raid and upgrade. There will be a single onboard equipment and engines. It's okay. Neither the military nor the industry needs to sit on old engines.

[Boris Chernikov]

uh ... cheaper? and old su-30cm, what do you want to do? modernization is always cheaper than buying a new aircraft ... so the decision is right ... all the more so that the budget and size of the aerospace forces are limited)

[Zaurbek]

How is it different now? In fact, there will be a two-seater Su35S .... it is not necessary to upgrade the Su30 initially, ..... but to upgrade the Su35S and make it a two-seater version ...

[VO3A]

And now the main thing! Many believe that a 6th generation aircraft can be unmanned or in two versions, but it seems to me that the 6th generation aircraft will be with two pilots, or rather a pilot and an operator, and there are good reasons for this!

[Cyril G ...]

Quote: VO3A

but it seems to me that the 6th generation aircraft will have two pilots, more precisely a pilot and an operator, and there are good reasons for this!

You and your opponents may be right here. In what way? The same Su-57 will be made two-seater. But it will be the lead aircraft of the flight, to which 2 to 6 wingmen will be closed.

[VO3A]

But he will be the lead of the flight

The idea is correct, but very narrow and superficial! If you are guessing and thinking in blitz mode, you can imagine how deep a well thought-out concept can be!
I want to help you, try to define a 5th generation aircraft, and emphasize when it becomes so, what is the fundamental difference ... Otherwise, it is difficult to talk about the 6th!

[Cyril G ...]

Quote: VO3A

Didn't I say that wingmen should be drones? Moreover, in terms of dynamics, range, sensors, they must correspond to the Leader.

[Hexenmeister]

slaves ... to the leader ...

Or maybe it is not necessary to divide according to the principle of subordination? Let's divide by functions:
- receiving information;
- targeting;
- attacker.
And each member of the group can perform not only one function, but also a set of functions, or even all, and besides, each member of such a group can be both manned and unmanned.

Su-35 makes Komsomolsk-on-Amur. And the Su-30SM is made by Irkutsk. And, apparently, it turned out to be easier for Irkutsk to "pull up" the Su-30SM than to establish production of the Su-35.

[Ustin]

You might think that serial factories themselves "tighten" products. The engine is unified. The solution is correct. The possibility of modifying the system for this "motor" is the same. The possibilities for modernization are far from exhausted. The production is well-adjusted.

The closest relative of the Su-35S is the Su-37. They differ from the Su-30 in hulls (as well as in the technology of their production), wings, avionics, which is unlikely to be the same, since the Su-30 is more sharpened for work on the ground (for which the PGO), and the Su-35s for work on air.

It was a reasonable decision that they did not invent another engine. For a long time, and why, if there is also Product 30 for the Su-57 of the second stage? That is, the new engine for the Su-30SM2 would not be a breakthrough anyway.

In addition, the fighter also has upgraded optics, radar and surveillance systems. Experts note that at the moment the Su-30SM in the basic configuration are the most numerous modern air assets in service with Russia and its closest allies in the Collective Security Treaty Organization.

The AL-41F-1S engine with an all-aspect controlled thrust vector is known as the "Product 117S". Compared to the Su-30SM power plant, which the fighter is currently equipped with, the thrust of the new engine has been increased by 16%, to 14 kgf. The service life of the aircraft engine doubled at once, up to 500 thousand hours, without increasing the mass and dimensions.

When the first order was placed under Serdyukov, the planes were needed just yesterday - there was no time to set up the production of a single model. Therefore, we ordered two types of new Su-30s - only to be handed over quickly. Then KnAAZ mastered the Su-35 - and there were three types.

As previously reported, within the framework of the import substitution program on the base Su-30SM, the ROC "Adaptation-Su" was launched. In the course of this ROC, it was initially planned to strengthen the fighter's armament and change the avionics. In this form, the aircraft received the designation Su-30SM1. However, further it was decided to maximize the unification of the Su-30SM and Su-35S. Option with the installation of AL-41F-1S and the "Irbis" radar together with the previously made changes, it received the Su-30SM2 index.

If this is true then this is just wonderful ..
But seriously, it would be better to put the Su-35UB into series on the Irkut.

Alas, and the consequence of this is an increase in the cost of maintaining the Air Force fleet. I am wrong?

Of course, you can see better from the sofa. But in my opinion, it is necessary to audit the production of Sukhoi in 25-27 years. Both Irkut and NAZ, and Komsomolsk should be brought to a single production standard for technological processes, etc. And it is desirable to leave in the series only Su-57, Su-35 / Su-35UB by that time.

[d4rkmesa]

"And it is desirable to leave only Su-57 and Su-35 / Su-35UB in the series by that time." - this will lead to the fact that there will be one military aircraft plant - KnAAZ. Those. bringing to the standard by liquidation and reduction. But this is almost inevitable. Is that some kind of LMFS will appear, really massive.

One military aircraft plant, KnAAZ, was launched.

This would certainly not be correct.
However, the main thing is that KNAAAZ must have a backup. At least because of the geographical location. And in my opinion, NAZ is doomed to become such, at least due to its geographical location.

Lead to one workflow? Are the factories the same? Are they the same equipment? One laugh.

[Zaurbek]

Su35 in 1 and 2 seater versions is better than Su35 and Su30

[rudolff]

I agree. And so in the new version, in fact, we get a two-seater version of the Su-35, but with a different glider. Can it be easier to fork out for new equipment for the Su-35 for Irkut, since in all other respects the unification will be almost complete?

[Zaurbek]

It’s easier, probably, to completely assign one plant for Su35 in 1 and 2 local versions ..... And rivet them day and night. And the rest are under the Su57.

[Grievous]

Why on our planes only one bomb is hung on one point of the suspension, and on foreign 4-6?

[novel66]

Who said?

Multi-lock beam holder MBD3-U6-68 is designed for suspension, transportation and dropping of six bombs of various modifications of caliber up to 250 kg from Su-24 (M), Su-27, Su-30MKI, Su-30MKK aircraft.

The holder provides tactical or emergency dropping of aerial bombs, cocking of fuses after the actual separation of the aerial bomb, the use of aerial bombs for 30 days without removing them and carrying out additional checks and adjustments of the holder, 500 discharges of aerial bombs during the assigned resource of 1500 flight hours and a service life of 15 years. The holder is operational at ambient temperatures from -60 ° C to + 60 ° C, under kinetic heating, under the influence of sea fog, dust, frost, dew, solar radiation, under icing conditions.

[Grievous]

But what about guided bombs and missiles?

[Zaurbek]

They are for unguided bombs ....

[Grievous]

And the Americans do.

[Zaurbek]

China and Pakistan only presented such a suspension at FT-17. And on the Su-27 yet.
But there was no point either. Small bombs with correction were just presented at the Army2020.

They just rarely appear in the press.

[Black Colonel]

What's that impressive?

[d4rkmesa]

Beam holder for 6+ bombs, as in the photo above (MBD3-U6-68). True, the watermark of another resource gets in the way, you can look for a better photo.

[Wolf]

Excellent move, AL 41 F and product 30, 2 masterpieces in the aviation industry, in addition to unification and cost reduction and logistics problems. The SU 30 with such an engine will be a masterpiece on the world market.

When will the MiG-35 be assembled? And will there be?

When will the MiG-35 be assembled? And will there be?

Apparently - never. There is no news on it.
Apparently, the Ministry of Defense, due to limited resources, is in no hurry to invest in an aircraft that is conceptually similar to the Su-30. About the fact that it is "light" is nonsense, it is much heavier than the really light F-16, Grippen, etc.

[ole1]

earlier, all tables indicated that the empty mass of the moment 35 is 11 tons. Exactly the same as Eurofighter. Rafal and f16 of the last blocks had an empty mass in the region of 10 tons. That is, the Mig 35 completely fell under the definition of a lung.

Now I looked at Wikipedia (although it is clear that the source is not very good) - there the mass of an empty moment 35 is 13.5 tons! if this is true, then the thrust-to-weight ratio is worse than that of all 4+ and 5 aircraft, in addition, outdated avionics

[d4rkmesa]

A miracle must happen. For example, they will finish the AFAR, which will show excellent results, so much that it will "kill", for example, everything that is older than the Su-35 in terms of range. Those. a kind of Russian "Super Hornet" will appear.

And now the main thing! Many believe that a 6th generation aircraft can be unmanned or in two versions, but it seems to me that the 6th generation aircraft will be with two pilots, or rather a pilot and an operator, and there are good reasons for this!

While one is passed out due to overloads, the second is driving? :)

[FRoman1984]

21 aircraft in the new order is not enough. After all, it is necessary to re-equip the naval aviation with the Su-24.

[Cyril G ...]

It seems that this is only for the fleet. There are 22 built, not built according to the old order 6. New order 21.
Total 49.
Not enough. Assuming that we need a two-squadron ShAP for the minimum fleet.
Then 4 regiments leave - SF, Black Sea Fleet, BF and Pacific Fleet (Vladik) + a squadron in Kamchatka. In total, the minimum required delivery for the Navy 108 Su-30cm. Rather, 108 + 2 Su-30cm. 2 sides still in eisk

[ole1]

Is there infa about how the OLS will change?

[mmaxx]

And here is the news on the topic:
September 22 p. made the first flight of the Su-30SM with AL-41F-1S engines.
