Following promising results from the Su-35 and Su-37 Super Flanker aircraft, the S-37 Berkut (Su-47 Royal Eagle) was developed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau to further explore post-stall manoeuvrability and super-manoeuvrability. This radical new aircraft features a forward swept wing, canards and wing LERXes in combination with extensive use of composite materials to enhance strength and reduce radar cross section. Although designed purely as a demonstrator aircraft, the Berkut may very well provide the basis for a fifth generation Russian fighter.
Designed as an advanced demonstrator to expore post-stall flight manoeuvrability, Su-47 (Sukhoi designation S-37) Berkut or "Royal Eagle" was first flown on September 25th, 1997. © Copyright 2003-2010 The Flying Mule, Inc.
