The revolutionary advantage of the Su-57 fighter is named

The American publication Military Watch wrote that the Su-57 fighter has two revolutionary and rarely mentioned

development. They improve his maneuverability and give him an advantage.

Authors of the American material that was translatedRossiyskaya Gazeta noted that the Su-57 remains an experimental platform, and its characteristics are constantly being improved. Experts also recalled that a signature feature of Soviet and Russian fighters is the ability to easily and quickly change course. As for the Su-57, new technologies can make it even more maneuverable. This can be achieved by using more powerful engines and a composite airframe.

In addition, it is necessary to bypass the human factor.The fact is that the pilot cannot withstand an overload of more than 9g. Su-57 wants to overcome this in two ways. First, engineers are working on an unmanned version of the fighter. And secondly, they intend to use liquid breathing.

American authors also explained whyRussian designers are chasing agility. Due to the methods of modern warfare, combat aircraft will not be able to determine from afar which target is the enemy. That is, the pilots will have to approach the target for identification. And in close combat, maneuverability is of great importance.
