Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut fighter aircraft C017 / 7569
Sukhoi Su-47 experimental jet fighter. The Su-47 Berkut is an experimental fighter jet built by Russian company Sukhoi in 1997. It features a pair of fixed wings that sweep forwards. The high lift-to-drag ratio of the wing design provides the Su-47 with enhanced manoeuvrability at supersonic speeds (faster than sound). It is able to turn mid-air quickly and is much less likely to stall at high angles of attack. The main disadvantage of this design is the increased stress load on the wings

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut, an extraordinary experimental fighter aircraft developed by Russian company Sukhoi in 1997. With its unique forward-sweeping fixed wings, this technological marvel revolutionizes aerodynamic design. The Su-47's innovative wing configuration grants it exceptional maneuverability at supersonic speeds, surpassing the sound barrier with ease. Unlike conventional jets, this unconventional machine can execute mid-air turns swiftly and maintain stability even at high angles of attack, thanks to its remarkable lift-to-drag ratio. However, such a groundbreaking design comes with its challenges as the increased stress load on the wings poses a significant drawback. Capturing the essence of engineering excellence and pushing boundaries in aviation technology, this photograph encapsulates a pivotal moment in European aerospace history. The Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut stands as a testament to human ingenuity and determination to explore uncharted territories within flight dynamics. With its sleek lines and futuristic appearance, this novel jet fighter is undoubtedly an awe-inspiring sight to behold. Its presence evokes curiosity and admiration for those who appreciate cutting-edge advancements in avionics. This image serves as a reminder that progress often stems from venturing beyond traditional norms – showcasing how weirdness can breed innovation when it comes to pushing the limits of what is possible in flight technology.
