Sukhoi Su-35 multi-role fighter

Yes, this is second aircraft with this designation.
 
So what is the "old" Su-35 now called?
Click to expand...

I'd to know too if there has been a redesignation. However it is not uncommon for Russian designers to re-use designations for its projects. The Su-15 (late forties) and Su-15 (seventies) is an example.
 
Hm...it's being called Su-35 (first with this designation)
or T-10M or Su-27M
 
The old Su-35 was developed under the Sukhoi internal designation T-10M and officially designated Su-27M. Su-35 was the export designation used from 1992. As the further development and marketing has been suspended the designation Su-35 becomes free again and is now used for the Su-27SM2/T-10BM, primarily for export.

2nd Su-35 prototype (board no. 902) finally made his maiden flight. Isn't she a beautiful bird? :)

Well, but our Brasilian comrades somehow pulled it out of competition...
 
much more new ones...http://www.sukhoi.org/gallery/?gallery_id=110&cur_gallery_id=136&page=1

Will this engine equip the PAK-FA prototype? As far as I know, the PAK-FA is a much lighter aircraft, which means the engines will probably be somewhat smaller, right?
 
Yesterday (or today) - still unclear. Maiden or one of the first flights.
Pilot survived.

:( :( :(
 
source is 100% reliable
but no official news so far
sad day
 
Su-35-4 catched fire while low-speed taxi tests at Dzemgi airfield, 16.55 local time (9.55 Moscow time) on Sunday, according to KNAAPO press-attache Vitaly Tyul'kin

originally maiden flight was scheduled for Friday, then postponed till Monday
flight attempt on Sunday took place because of unnamed hi-ranked comission arriving, according to some reports

earlier it was also reported that Su-35 tapped into heating duct at the end of runway
aircraft was destroyed by fire, pilot Eugeny Frolov has succesfully ejected

I'm in the process of building a virtual model of said pit, and I'm wondering if someone here has any info on what the different mfd modes are and how they look and function that goes beyond what I can find on google image search.
 
beyond that you will find nothig

wait a minute..
over here John Cool said that is crashed Su-35-4 (board no. "903")
and fightingirish posted picture of Su-35-4 with clearly visible number 904..
I'm confused

He said wrongly. 903 is some kind of static airframe between. So flying board number should be 901, 902 and 904.
 
is there any picture of that static su-35 903?

lovely..

"Unlike the Su-27M and Su-30MKI, the new Su-35 features the same aerodynamic configuration as the basic Su-27, but with larger wings and engine intakes......."

Really? They don't look bigger.
 
intakes are larger too - because of new 117S with its greater airflow
watch for a zink chromate inserts, in one sentence
 
Wingspan looks the same as usual Su-27 for me. 0.6 m is a lot. When it comes to intakes, i am not sure.
 
From what I've seen, I have to agree with Jackonicko that the wings look exactly the same to me. My guess is that the 15.3m wing span includes ECM pods - 2 x 0.3m of additional span sounds about right. As for the intakes, I seem to recall seeing what flateric says on an image of Su-35 #710 when it was reported to be testing the 117S engine. Keep in mind that the fan diameter has not increased dramatically over the basic AL-31F (low single digit centimeters, IIRC) so the intake area would not need to be enlarged greatly either. An analogous example would be a GE vs. PW powered F-16, the difference between big and small mouth inlets is not immediately obvious unless you see the aircraft from directly ahead.
 
Agreed with Trident, the intakes are a little bit larger also to allow for greater airflow. The wingspan is the same as for the Su-27, the 15.3 m figure includes the ECM pods.

Which ECM pods? No way L005S/Sorbtsiya-S is 0.6 meters wide. I think that the quoted 15.3 m number is simply wrong.
 
Correct observation on inlets. Ten per cent mass flow increase is quite a lot in thrust terms but is only five per cent difference in linear dimensions - almost impossible to detect without a tape measure.

And Scorp - the pods would only have to be 0.3 m wide since there are two of them.
