Su-47 Berkut
Sukhoi · Russia
Originally designated S-37, the Berkut used forward-swept wings to achieve incredible lift-to-drag ratios and extreme maneuverability at low speeds. Because the wings naturally want to "twist off" at high speeds, they were built with advanced composite layers to resist structural failure.
Technical Specifications
| First Flight | 1997 |
|---|---|
| Max Speed | 2,200 km/h (Mach 2.09) |
| Range | 3,300 km |
| Ceiling | 18,000 m |
| Engines | 2x Soloviev D-30F6 afterburning turbofans |
Armament & Payload
1x 30mm GSh-30-1 cannon; 14 hardpoints (experimental).
