Russia’s Sukhoi T-50 fighter proves ‘no physical limits exist for pilots.'



Pilots flying the advanced Sukhoi T-50 PAK-FA fighter jet see no physical boundaries in its use, the Russian Air Force Commander says. Spectators at the MAKS 2017 Air Show saw the cutting-edge aircraft in action.



The Russian fifth-generation fighter PAK FA (T-50) gives the pilot almost unlimited opportunities in piloting and fighting, Colonel-General Viktor Bondarev, the commander-in-chief of the Air and Space Forces



"So far I would say that there is no physiological border for the pilot of the PAK FA, both for development and operation of this aircraft," he said



Bondarev stressed that the T-50 not only improved dozens of different parameters, such as engine power, range or bomb load. "The designers are working to make the car do the maximum for the pilot," he said.



PAK FA first took the air in 2010. Experimental design work, as previously reported, should be completed in 2019, then it is expected to begin deliveries of these aircraft to the troops. The installation lot, said the head of the United Aircraft Corporation Yuri Slyusar, will consist of 12 cars.



The PAK-FA (Perspective Air Complex of Frontline Aviation) T-50 is a fifth-generation fighter jet, equipped with advanced radar-evading stealth technology and “electronic pilot” function.



“Engineers are working to allow the aircraft do the most for the pilot,” Viktor Bondarev added, highlighting the aircraft’s characteristics, including improved engine, bomb load, and flight range.



Having performed its maiden flight in 2010, the PAK-FA was built to replace the Sukhoi Su-27 in frontline tactical aviation. The Russian Air Force is expected to receive the first batch of 12 T-50s by 2019.



While the defense ministry is still looking forward to the new aircraft, visitors to the MAKS 2017 Air Show got to see the jets up in the skies, performing breathtaking aerobatic maneuvers. The two T-50s flew alongside two other super-maneuverable jets – the Sukhoi Su-34 and Su-35, awing the audience at Zhukovsky Airfield.
