Is that a UFO? ...NO, IT'S A SU-35!! ✈️ MAKS 2013 [Remastered]

Показать описание

I know you like it when I post Su-35 videos... :)
The monster, the beauty, the legend is back!
It was high time for a new one!

Well it is an new-old one rather. I filmed this one in 2013 but back then I didn't have the production means I do today so I have remastered the footage to make it much more visually appealing! ^^

This is an interesting display for the Su-35 too, as you can see it flying not-so-usual maneuvers such as knife edge, 4 point rolls and inverted flight, among others. But don't worry, it's a Su-35 after all, the crazy post-stall shenanigans are in there too... ^^

At the controls of the Su-35 is Sukhoi test pilot Юрий Ващук (Yuriy Vaschuk), as usual in the MAKS flight displays of the past decade and just like Sergey Bogdan and the Averyanov family, he never fails to amaze and entertain! ;)

ABOUT THE SU-35S:

The Sukhoi Su-35 (Сухой Су-35; NATO reporting name: Flanker-E) is the designation for two separate, heavily-upgraded derivatives of the Su-27 air-defence fighter. They are twin-engine, single-seater, highly-maneuverable fighter aircraft, designed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau and built by the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Association.

The first variant was designed during the 1980s as an upgrade of the Su-27, and was initially known as the Su-27M. This derivative made use of canards and had a multi-function radar that transformed the aircraft into a multi-role fighter jet. It was also structurally reinforced to support its heavier weight. The first prototype made its maiden flight in June 1988. The aircraft did not enter mass production at the time due to the collapse of the Soviet Union and therefore Sukhoi re-designated the aircraft later on as Su-35 to attract export orders. At the same time, the fourteen aircraft initially produced were used for tests and exhibitions; one example had thrust-vectoring engines installed, and the resultant Su-37 was used as a technology demonstrator. A sole two-seat trainer was also built in the late 1990s under the designation SU-35UB that strongly resembled the Su-30MK family.

In 2003, Sukhoi embarked on a second modernization of the Su-35 to serve as an interim aircraft awaiting the development of the Sukhoi PAK-FA (Su-57, previously T-50) program. Also known as Su-35, this derivative had a redesigned and highly modernized cockpit as well as an improved weapons-control system, it also featured thrust-vectoring engines (AL-41F1S, formerly AL-117S) in place of the omitted canards. The airbrake was gone and it used aerodynamic rudder brakes. The type made its first flight in February 2008. Although the aircraft was designed for export, the Russian Air Force in 2009 became the launch customer of the aircraft, the production version of which is the currently designated Su-35S. China's People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) is the sole foreign customer of the aircraft so far but other countries are reportedly in discussions with Russia about the possible purchase of the Su-35, among which is Indonesia, whose government is expected to sign a contract in the near future.
