SU-47 Berkut
Air-Attack.com > Military Systems > SU-47 Berkut
For high manoeuvrability and high angles of attack, the SU-47 Berkut (Golden Eagle), initially known as the S-37, uses a forward-swept wing configuration. The Su-47 completed the first stage of flight trials in December 2001.
Although the Russian aircraft was build as a testbed for developing fifth-generation technologies, in May 2002 Sukhoi was selected as prime contractor for the next-generation Russian PAK FA fighter programme. Although the SU-47 will be used for the PAK AF program, the design of it will probably be very different.
