Remarks: Sukhoi "Fifth Generation" fighter. Vectored thrust. FBW control system. Proposed multirole fighter. Production version could have internal bays and external HP, but Signature increased to Small if any weapons are carried externally. Tail fairings could be fitted with ECM equipment and a tail warning radar. Has folding wings to allow storage in a standard aircraft shelter, but could also facilitate carrier use. Sukhoi's claim of 1350 knots is probably too high. A more reasonable figure is 1080 kts Supercruise capable. Payload will be at least 8000 kg. WEAPONS LOADS: Max. Payload: 8000 kg Internal Cannon: 1 GSh-301 30mm w/150 rds
Aircraft Hardpoints: Aircraft hardpoints are provided in symmetrical pairs except for internal (INT) and centerline positions (CL), which are single. Ordnance are mounted in pairs (but may be fired singly) on UW and FUS hardpoints, with the associated double payload weight.
