The Su-27 is a highly integrated twin-finned aircraft. The airframe is constructed of titanium and high-strength aluminium alloys. The engine nacelles are fitted with trouser fairings to provide a continuous streamlined profile between the nacelles and the tail beams. The fins and horizontal tail consoles are attached to tail beams. The central beam section between the engine nacelles consists of the equipment compartment, fuel tank and the brake parachute container. The fuselage head is of semi-monocoque construction and includes the cockpit, radar compartments and the avionics bay. An optional metal display stand, WT-WTW72027S, is available separately if you wish to display this model "in-flight".
Designed as a fly-by-wire long range fighter capable of taking on the United States’ F-15 Eagle, the Su-27 was first flown on May 20th, 1977. Despite its large size, it impressed military observers with its awesome agility when first unveiled to the West at the 1989 Paris Air Show. The swept-wing style blends into the fuselage at the leading edge extensions, with the wingtips cropped for missile placement. With a heads-up display, helmet-mounted sight, 30mm cannon and up to 10 hardpoint missiles, the Flanker is one of the world’s best modern dogfighter aircraft. © Copyright 2003-2010 The Flying Mule, Inc.
