F-35 supposed to replace F-16 but won't due to cost. Su-57 supposed to replace Su-27 but won't due to cost. Anyway, both are 21st century designs. F-35 first flight December 2006. Su-57 first flight January 2010. F-22 TVC really crappy so F-35 did away with TVC and went back to round engine nozzle. F-35 has 1 AESA facing the front. Su-57 has 4 AESAs facing all directions. F-35 cockpit opens up to the front instead of at the back. Su-57 canopy slides to the back. Both easy to get in and get out. F-35 deleted HUD. No more HUD. Su-57 retains wide angle HUD as backup to HMD. Both claim to have so called "radar absorbing paint" but I don't think it works because there is nothing magical that absorbs only X bank radio and do NOT absorb any other electromagnetic waves.
