Sukhoi creates modernized fighter Su-37 Moscow. On November, 24. The INTERFAX
Sukhoi has started creation of modernized fighter Su-37 director on public relations of The sukhoi company yury Chervakov informed "Interfax - on
Monday.
" This fighter should replace fighters such as su-30mk, and also to modernized fighters su-27sk and su-27SM ",
On Su-37 it is planned to approve some ideas in the field of the onboard equipment and the arms developed for a fighter of the fifth generation. su-37
is intended for drawing anticipatory impacts on any air opponent, including on the undistinguished plane such as Stealth aircraft
Fighter aircraft Su-37 must become "transitional" model to the fighter of the fifth generation.It will preserve structural/design succession with
the Su-30MK fighter with the introduction in its construction/design of some solutions, depleted on the experimental aircraft Su-47 (su -37 "golden
eagle") with the forwardsweept wings", said director..
For the first time in Su-37 is used electrical remote/distance engine control.The axisymmetrical rotary nozzles (to the angle plus- minus of 15
degrees), which create the controlled thrust vector, ensure super-maneuverability at the low speeds to aircraft.As the working medium/propellant of
control system of the rotation of nozzles serves hydro-oil from the hydraulic system of aircraft. The new system of the flight control, based on
digital computer technology with the elements of artificial intelligence, is used on the aircraft. this system takes to itself the essential part of
the work of the pilot (automated are still stages of flight, including low-altitude flight, combat employment on air and ground targets, the
opposition to radio- and optical-electronic means REB), leaving to man only making of fundamental decisions. The information-control field of cockpit
is executed with the use of 4 colored JK- displays ('kh' of inches) of French production.The composition of armament is analogous Su-35.
