"Zvezda" TV channel tells about the fifth-generation fighter aircraft Su-57, the installation batch of which is to be supplied to the Russian Federation Air Force next year.
1) The mass of composite materials is 25% of the weight of the empty aircraft. At the same time, the Su-57 has four times less details than the Su-27.
Composite material consists of a substrate reinforced with a filler. This allows to provide strength with a serious reduction in weight characteristics.
2) With the help of the newest radar, the Su-57 can "see" the targets beyond other machines. It's about air, land, and surface targets.
The Su-57 radar with an active phased array that contains 1,526 transceiver modules provides the aircraft with a long range of detection, multi-channel tracking of targets and the use of guided missile weapons.
3) Su-57 can destroy the enemy in the rear hemisphere, and for this it does not need to make a turn.
This is achieved thanks to the return start mode, when the rocket starts in the opposite direction of the carrier aircraft flight, and also thanks to the rear-view radar.
4) Catapult chair Su-57 is able to save at any altitude, even from the ground. In the future, it will be able to make a decision to save without the participation of the pilot.
This was in an interview with the site of the TV channel "Star" told the general director of holding "Technodinamics" Igor Nasenkov. According to him, pilots with a weight from 45 to 110 kg can work in the chair. The automation system has significantly improved: thanks to the built-in sensors, the parachute input is accurately determined even if there is no information on the speed of flight from the aircraft's airborne systems during the ejection.
5) Su-57 is able to fight both alone and within the framework of the "single field" concept. Each machine will be the "eyes" and "ears" of the entire army.
The aircraft will be able to transmit target data to both other aircraft and ground-based air defense systems, and vice versa, to receive target designation from them. At the same time, the on-board control system can accompany up to 60 targets while simultaneously firing 16 of them. This allows many times to increase the effectiveness of fighters and reduce combat losses.
