The Su-35S prototype bort 904 was an early test platform used to refine the advanced systems of Russia's next-generation Flanker. Built as part of the pre-production batch, 904 evaluated the strengthened airframe, digital fly-by-wire system, redesigned cockpit, and the AL-41F1S engines with thrust-vectoring that gave the Su-35S its trademark supermaneuverability. It was heavily involved in trials of the Irbis-E radar, self-protection gear, and weapons integration. Frequently seen at Akhtubinsk during the late 2000s and early 2010s, 904 also appeared at early airshows to demonstrate the jet's agility. Data gathered from 904's flights shaped the final production configuration. Designed by the Soviet Union to challenge the superiority of fourth generation US fighters such as the F-15 Eagle, the Su-27 was first flown on May 20, 1977. This one seat Mach-2 fighter had the Soviet Union's first operational fly-by-wire system. The aircraft is very large compared to the MiG-29, its closest Soviet counterpart, but it is built with a high percentage of titanium, which helps minimize its weight. It is exceptionally agile and is perhaps most famous for its "Cobra" maneuver, which is a short, sustained level flight at a 120 degree angle of attack, often performed at air shows. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
