| Su-37 extreme manuevrability demo |
 |
The Su-37 is a super-maneuverable thrust
vectoring russian fighter derived from an
Su-35 prototype. This demo shows the pilot
literally throwing 20 tons of military metal
in the sky. Two Lyulka AL-37FU
vectored-thrust afterburning turbofans
(30,855 lb thrust each) give this aircraft
it's extreme flight caracteristics that are
above the flight envelope of almost any
fighters curently in service in the world.
The AL-37FU engines are configured for thrust
vector control, with the axisymmetric
steerable thrust vector control nozzle is
fixed on a circular turning unit. The steel
nozzle in the experimental engines is
replaced in production engines by titanium
units to reduce the weight of the nozzle. The
nozzle only moves in the pitch axis, and the
nozzles on the two engines can deflect
together or differentially to achieve the
desired thrust vector for a particular
maneuver.
The Su-37 has a variety of other innovative
equipment such as a radar configured for
simultaneous surveillance of airspace and the
ground and a high-precision
laser-inertial/satellite navigation system.
The all-weather digital multi-mode phased
array radar operates in either air and ground
surveillance modes or in both modes
simultaneously. Ground surveillance modes
include mapping (with Doppler beam
sharpening), search-and-track of moving
targets, synthetic aperature radar and
terrain avoidance. The Su-37 is also equipped
with a rearward facing radar in the tail
stinger area of the fuselage. The Su-37
features fly-by-wire and relaxed static
instability, which along with 3D thrust
vectoring give the aircraft tremendous
agility. It incorporates state of the art ECM
in wing-tip pods, allowing improved
survivability in electronic warfare
environments. The Su-37 can carry air-to-air
and air-to-surface weapons on 12 stations.
The number of missiles and bombs carried can
be increased to 14 with the use of
multi-payload racks.
Sukhoi used payments earned in the sale of an
Su-27 license to China to finance the Su-37
development. Russia's Air Force has not
ordered any Su-37s. Sukhoi is studying the
possibility of developing a two-seat version
of the Su-37 with enhanced strike
capabilities.

 |
The Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut (Russian: Су-47
"Беркут" - golden eagle), also
designated S-32 and S-37 during initial
development, is an experimental supersonic
jet fighter developed by Sukhoi Aviation
Corporation. The NATO reporting name for this
aircraft is "Firkin". A distinguishing
feature of the aircraft is its forward-swept
wing, similar to that of the Grumman X-29.
Although the Berkut has been referred to as
the Su-47 since 2002, suggesting that it is a
ready-for-production warplane, it will more
likely be heavily redesigned (as part of the
Prospective Air Complex for Tactical Air
Forces program) before any series production
begins. The Su-47 designation may or may not
be reused for the PAK FA design.

Sukhoi Su-37 presentation video.The Sukhoi
Su-37 (NATO designation: Flanker-F) is a
Russian multi-role jet fighter aircraft.
The Su-37 is a single-seat, all-weather,
fighter and ground attack prototype aircraft,
derived from the Sukhoi Su-27. The Su-27 is a
successful Soviet fourth generation jet
aircraft that has been exported to several
nations, including China. The Su-37 test
aircraft made its maiden flight in April 1996
from the Zhukovsky flight testing center near
Moscow.
The Su-37 included several updates over the
Su-27, including all-weather multi-mode
phased array radar with synthetic aperture,
terrain avoidance, terrain mapping and a rear
facing radar. The airframe includes a
percentage of parts made from composites,
unlike the all-metal Su-27. Additionally, the
Su-37 incorporates the AL-37FU engines
equipped with thrust vectoring. Thrust
vectoring allows the Su-37 to direct the
exhaust gases in 3 dimensions, substantially
improving maneuverability, especially at low
speeds. The Terminator, as it is sometimes
called, is also the first Russian aircraft
with Hands On Throttle and Stick, or HOTAS,
system. The first ever aircraft with HOTAS
was the Avro CF-105 Arrow (also known as the
Avro Arrow). The first production fighter
aircraft with this system was the McDonnell
Douglas F-15C Eagle. The Su-37 also stores a
radar in the tailcone of the plane that
allows it to fire missiles behind the plane.
The engine not only incorporates TVC but also
is tough and very resistant to surge even
during classic, inverted and flat spins,
giving great reliability and maneuverability,
even when AOA is as high as 180 degrees.
The Su-37 can carry air-to-air and
air-to-surface weapons on 12 stations. The
number of missiles and bombs carried can be
increased to 14 with the use of multi-payload
racks.
Russia has not ordered Su-37s, but it might
find customers abroad, a market that now
constitutes a sizable share of Sukhoi's
income. Several prototypes have been built,
but the aircraft is not in production.
The most recent rumors regarding the
development of the Su-37 is that the project
was cancelled due to lack of funding. The two
Su-37 prototypes were converted into Su-35
Flankers, another Sukhoi prototype fighter.
