Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 1)

A few? You mean 3 years ago, right?

Su-37 got passed to the devs, how good is it?

Is it not just a Su-27 with TVC and canards

It gets pesa radar if i’m not mistaken

Wasnt it also lighter?

Was it designed for export potential or to as a tech demonstrator for the Su-35 programme

is not?. Its close to a Su-30SM2 if they install the Al-41 on it at some point in the future.

It’s a single cockpit design. based on the Su-27M with canards

I don’t think so. Only Su-35 should be lighter. It don’t have canards and use composite materials.

while it look the same. Its not. New engine. New fly by wire. Better radar. TVC …etc etc. It should fly way better than a Su-27 or Su-27m

probably the best or 2nd best flanker in terms of maneuverability. (its probably better or worse than su35)

What Turkey tree would that be?

One of the least likely trees to be added to WT.

Sorry for late reply
So I’ve quickly taken a look at the study: and from what i understood in the first they are basically doing in the first part is trying to get a better estimation of the Oswald coefficient to increase the range at which Lifting Line theory (which is the Cl = (something Cd)^2 still works, and they also like i’ve said previously that, by trying to do that, Oswald can’t be a simple number but is something that decreases with the increase if the drag coefficient:

Then the study shows a bunch of different methods for calculating oswald based on shapes, conditions etc. (otherwise it would need to be determined experimentally).

The values in the table below are probably computed for small angles of attacks using those methods they described.

(Sorry for the late reply and if someone already responded but)

That’s a prototype Su-30MKM, hence the DAMOCLES

Thanks for the informative replies, hopefully the Su-30SM comes with the best possible capability on release.

The Su-30 is my favorite looking Flanker variant, I can only hope that it builds on what we currently have and more.

Su-27M with TVC, uprated engines, digital FBW, and PESA radar

Bug Report: Su-33 and F-16A OCU are not identified on RWR and their launches do not trigger a warning.

Huh, I was wondering that is “Н/О” (Unknown) on RWR display inside 29SMT

Probably. I would guess “Н/О” would be “Не Опознаный” or “Не Определённый” (“Not Identified” or “Not Specified”).
