Russian Federation Sukhoi Su-35
http://www.youtube.com/PowerRussia Российская Федерация -The experimental T10-24 was built in 1985. Flight tests took place in 1988. The first prototype was publicly displayed in 1992 at the Farnborough Air Show. Eleven prototypes were built through 1994, with service slated for 1995. Subsequently, the first test flights of an improved Su-35, the Su-37 "Flanker-F", in 1996 and the transfer of existing Su-35 prototypes to this program appeared to suggest the end of the Su-35 development. Instead, the Su-37 aircraft were eventually reconverted to Su-35s. The Su-35 is now in production for the Russian Air Force and was recently presented at the MAKS-2007 International Aviation and Space Salon in August 2007. The Su-35 shares larger wings and more powerful engines with the naval variant of the Su-27 and later the Su-30, the Su-33 "Flanker-D". Other changes from the Su-27 and Su-30 were canards, a larger nose, the greater use of carbon fibre and aluminium-lithium alloy in the airframe, along with larger, "square-off" tail fins. The new nose holds an improved passive electronically scanned array radar and the aircraft featured many other upgrades to its avionics and electronic systems, including digital fly-by-wire and a rear-looking radar for firing Semi-Active Radar missiles. A two-dimensional asymmetric thrust vectoring system was tested on the Su-35 and seems to be the basis for the development of the Su-37 "Flanker-F". A new type of 2D thrust vectoring engine, the 117S, has been developed and replaces the current AL-35 or AL-31F. The average output of the Su-35 Radar is 5 kW and a peak output of 20 kW.[3] Variants Su-35 Single-seat fighter. Su-35UB Two-seat fighter and trainer.[2] Features taller vertical stabilizers and a forward fuselage similar to an Su-30. Su-35BM Single-seat fighter with upgraded avionics and various modifications to the airframe.
