The first prototype aircraft flew in 2010, but the program would experience a protracted development due to various structural and technical issues that emerged during trials, including the destruction of the first production aircraft in a crash before its delivery.
The aircraft is expected to succeed the MiG-29 and Su-27 in the Russian military service and has also been marketed for export, the fighter is expected to have a service life of up to 35 years. The Su-57 is the first aircraft in Russian military service designed with stealth technology and is intended to be the basis for a family of stealth combat aircraft.Ī multirole fighter capable of aerial combat as well as ground and maritime strike, the Su-57 incorporates stealth, supermaneuverability, supercruise, integrated avionics, and substantial internal payload capacity. Sukhoi's internal designation for the aircraft is T-50.
It is the product of the PAK FA ( Russian: ПАК ФА, short for: Перспективный авиационный комплекс фронтовой авиации, romanized: Perspektivnyy Aviatsionnyy Kompleks Frontovoy Aviatsii, lit.''prospective aeronautical complex of front-line air forces'') programme, which was initiated in 1999 as a more modern and affordable alternative to the MFI ( Mikoyan Project 1.44/1.42).
The Sukhoi Su-57 ( Russian: Сухой Су-57 NATO reporting name: Felon) is a twin-engine stealth multirole fighter aircraft developed by Sukhoi.
