Su-27 man will fly through the power of his mind

knots in the strength of muscles

these words belong to a great russian scientists legalizing costly

said at the end of the nineteenth century theory forecast the future

evolution of mediation

first the farmlands mind lifted the aircraft off the ground

then a russian pilots dot on the issue of having performed this famous local

food bank anywhere in the air

there is a support for aircraft

man continued to fight the force of gravity fighter aircraft were flagship

synar's battles

these particular aircraft were often the first to reach never before seen

boundaries

the designers and engineers

always had to tackle new

more complicated tasks

facing the challenges they often had to compromise

and give away one thing in favor of

speed in favor of maneuverability flight arrange in favor of operational

but in the seventies early twentieth century the new aircraft that combine

the first night

the incompatible features was created

this aircraft was six issue twenty seven

a representative of the new combat aircraft here

anexo milo each was one of the originators of this plane

it was the head of this accord is signed bureau concept department in the

seventies

ballclub makes a militia about his work at the same as designer was published in

nineteen ninety nine

one of the book parts is totally dedicated to the creation of the issue

twenty seven

despise called

the best fighter in the world

we decided to give the same name who are still

before proceeding with the story of the issue twenty seven creation

we would like to dwell on the technical competence of the scientists and

aircraft engineers

and this global problems that we're facing when they started to develop a

new generation fighters

by that time the military aircraft had more than fifty year it's parents of

combat flying

military aircraft were assigned a specific mission during world war one

originally airplanes were used for a reconnaissance

bird's eye view of the enemy lines made them clearly visible

the next point logical step was using the aircraft for mum driving

bombers became a real threat

district could be partly fought with the aircraft engine

looks small biting make mosquitoes aircraft for more troy efficient against

bombers

this is how a special aircraft known as a fighter

to catch up with an enemy of fighter aircraft has to fly faster

speed

is a major critical characteristic of a fighter

customers for its right aircraft emergency room

combats became

under such conditions another important characteristic and in the fourth

speaking of fighters it's an aircraft ability to place itself

attentively admin pages position by means of fierce maneuvering in the air

st

maneuverability have only been principal characteristics of any fire

compromise between nine speed and good maneuverability will be the main

objective for aircraft designers

so what is the problem let's find out

the history of an aircraft is in many ways the history of this week

as we know going provides a list for sr in aircraft

for illustration purposes let study to aerodynamic layouts

one as a model plane on your part one week

and the others in my planner grant was doing

for the same size and weight the lingering engineer determining

resolutegames

is that the same time with your wing creates higher threatening to an

incoming air flows us reduce influence these

it means that higher speed can be gained

at the expense of of maneuverability

encourages the choice of an aircraft layout

is effected by many factors

one of them as an aircraft structural strength but we cannot think of the

issue twenty seven as a biplane aircraft now bill during world war one

widely leo was used to provide aircraft structural strength

another important aspect is engines

the first aircraft engines could accelerate in aircraft in the speed of

only two hundred kilometers per hour maximum

in the thirties the three hundred kilometers per hour marriage broke up

than four hundred and fighting

powerful engines

canopy cockpits

retractable landing gear and finally model plane layout

where the attributes of high-speed fighters at the end of the thirty

another critical test for military aviation was world war two

much time them on a plane fighters reigned in the air

designers were looking for a compromise between speed

within mama plainly out only

aircraft outlines became more refined

the flight speed increased and exceeded seven hundred kilometers per hour

there was a maximum distant

engine fighters conviction

their arrows coming to an end

the future it was for jackson john

with a young boy scouts of study menu aerodynamics basics by watching this jet

aircraft model

hiding it so i got a small jet plane held my to steal cars is flying in

circles with high speed

the new engines dave anonymous opportunities for further developments

but as in the case with this model flying in circles the to steal cords

were preventing it from free flight

the new bear was holding fighters speed back

the problem

was an aircraft wing again

where the speed going out their drag increases

it can be compared to an invisible spring compressing in front of an

aircraft

have speed close to the speed of sound the air becomes a solid as a wall

together with his ground

a simple increase of engine thrust is not enough

is necessary to significantly improve aircraft aerodynamics

we airfoil section which changed

one the teamster

swept

this speed issue was under intense of consideration again

one thousand

one thousand one hundred

one thousand two hundred kilometers per hour the sound barrier was broken

engine thrust was increasing

after burgers were developed

the flight speed was getting higher

the winds were continuously sweeping back

at the same time

when loading was increasing

fighters with the wings sweep angle of sixty degrees where the highlight of

these developments

they were able to achieve double the speed of sound

again and again the critical speed issue it is under consideration

but what about such an important for the parameters maneuverability

remover ability seemed to have been forgotten

inouye it was true

to be more precise it was not for government but conscientiously sacrifice

in the mid fifties he began to clear the air craft was there to hear missile

according to a newsyrian rapid launch the missiles to attack each other from a

long distance

without engaging in close maneuver air combat

fighters were treated as a specific platform to deliver and launch missiles

in america one of the missiles called genie was equipped with a nuclear charge

the designers intent of this missile do explode in the air

and bridges

ashes every aircraft

within a radius of several hundred meters

dismissal was in using real combat action

moreover theory of area long-distance missile engagement

deuteron to be very successful

the war in vietnam put it all into place

hearing the warren was realize that should be done in aircraft from

long-distance

was not only is a success in the aircraft got engaged in close combat

conducted subsonic speed

quite often the elevated meet seventeen was a winner gets the latest supersonic

but let's move on from them

you don't have been an aircraft could dodge attacking missiles using the

so-called

know someone who would even know her

an aircraft could suddenly change is flight path

which in the some of those days could you do

both the u_s_ disarm the u_s_ researchers came to a similar

convolution

and you find it was made in front of the confined high supersonic speed if

required

mentors dudley conduct kazakhstan mike aerial combat

which we don't know

what aircraft type to chew

concept is implemented in the aircraft buildings those were very urgent issues

to consider

we started the conceptual research

on one aircraft yet to be built

that's everybody was convinced bedingfield maneuver was extremely

important

since

it is an aircraft maneuverability

there please if you're alone

in aerial combat

so the problem was to develop highly maneuverable aircraft

was a problem with the above

cells that was all day and let you know it

there was another problem

a highly swept wing was low efficient at takeoff and landing

as a result the takeoff and landing run

along runways

we're going to our kids from enemies

also an aircraft make crashes its landing speed is too high

in the sixties a new wing was implemented

it was a very move sweat morning

sumi started building combat aircraft with such a way in

both in the states and the soviet union

without a sweat wingman aircraft was able to perform a supersonic flights

within minutes and women aircraft could conduct in a row compaq

street wing significantly improved aircraft take off

and landing perform

variables swept wing was believed to be able to solve the problem

but the swing was somehow a link between past and future a step toward new

developments

of arable sweet wean was a good idea but its designers had to pay a high price

through the implementation of the variables left-wing an aircraft weight

was significantly increased

to make the next step forward another solution sample in shape an elegant and

concept

had to be found

this very solution was implemented on the stand point twenty seven r

regional conception of the force generation jet fighter was expected to

use of medium swept wing with a low when loading

this was a way to improve maneuvering

and takeoff and landing performance

so did the compromise aircraft high speed to its high maneuverability

of course not

new generation agents allowed to achieve double the speed of sound even was such

a week

this was a completely new approach to aerodynamics research

significant

progress contingent building

venue fighter control system

almost every field alleviation hattiesburg

however we are a bit of time

tactical specification requirements not bans front-line fighter was issued in

nineteen seventy one

the tender to develop a new fighter was shared between three design goes

these where yakovlev meet leon

comes to hallways design bureau

tomorrow we were considering a fighter primarily as a flying vehicle

a fighter must definitely have a good flight performance

but this is obviously not enough

in order to become a superior combat system fighter needs up to date on board

equipment

commons

and many other things

did was a finer updating where problems of course awesome problem

the general designer noted that the silicon which industry

could provide up-to-date equipment for a new fighter

at that time so that electronica equipment was quite have the ending

the heavier electronic equipment because they have their and their questions

in such a situation to achieve required cyprus for months

was far more difficult

it was also known that the american new generations like there was already on

the moon

this early june was behind the stage in this race

it was necessary to design a fighter with the characteristic different

from an american rival

so that it would be superior to enemy aircraft

that was that done research specific term has air superiority fighter

aircraft

said binge for two fighter aerial combat was built for that purpose currency

bench compromise with whom moving carpets

was all three degrees of freedom

though it was kind of conventions

however the arrives in withdrawing and turning depending on all request

maneuvers

an emergency

have an enemy aircraft

according to the specification requirement issued by the military's

he stood for their characteristics have to be ten fifteen percent higher than

those of the new american fighter

it was also pointed out

tax increase combat survivability of the new soviet fighter

it had to be tied to engine aircraft

and the time the soviet air force commander in chief

was marshall click of watch and his deputy and weaponry was colonel general

mishal

used to make sure it was a very experienced aircraft engineer

he served in the army during world war two inch and wasn't educated incompetent

officers

marshall clark who was a combat pocket or your share of the soviet union

he was always interested in technical aspects like

he regularly attended meetings at the ministry of the aviation industry

exercise he also visited the instead barry often bishop to meet with her

general designers russian circles

there is to console once a month now setup spaces

well size man you've got any news

within the military people treated us very well

they had a mistake in the fourth generation fighter concept art

somewhat which

in those times a lot of money was spent on deviation project

the country's leaders headed by lenny brezhnev spared no expense on aircraft

and other military projects

the communist party leader was looking at displayed combat equipment was

evident pleasure

and gentleman interest

it was common practice for leading aviation designers and military command

authorities

to participate in such display

carlson court wearing his famous hat is on the left from lynn impression

we'll see how it started as a nation to her and the central hydrodynamic

houston where he worked under direction of and ready to put it since nineteen

twenty five

quizzes direct involvement

timesheets for design time for there for soviet home uncle fucker

and my fourteen the world's first high-speed model planes fighter was

retractable landing gear

basically design bureau became independent in nineteen thirty nine

this year mass production of the bb one short range bomber is unless the court

was stuck

in nineteen forty this woman was named issue too

when it became the first aircraft

which would save the famous

since that time on comedy troupe is inconceivable without soco aircraft

in the sixties fighter aircraft design

thing was a real success

for the sick or designer

these were the aircraft

oftentimes

fighter interceptor

and fighter bomber

it was the issue seventeen fighter bomber became the first of a desirable

sweep wing aircraft either

clubbing

another interesting subject matter in the design bureau from the early sixties

was creation of thirty-four softech aircraft

suspect creation of this aircraft allowed moving to quite a new level of

only simply decide your activity

despite the fact that the aircraft

was not put into a mass production and the project was dropped in the

mid-seventies however this project laid the scientific and technical groundwork

set was successfully used later on in creation of the new generation aircraft

including the issue twenty seven

in march nineteen seventy one of the meeting armenia ministry scientific and

technical terms into place

well this meaningful

what's redesigned it was presented to them

monday noon eastern time

all we have to live coming to the unconditional renewal click the previous

atlanta all

support president something new

that was a project of the future as you pointed out

research work on this aircraft was started in nineteen sixty nine

the originator of the project was an extra mileage who worked in the design

bureau concept department

by that time he took part in such projects as the t four long range

missile carrier

and the issue twenty-four frontline bomber

and the issue twenty-five attacker although it was a new aircraft

designers at the place and mrs

almost into the layout of the future father

but since the issue twenty seven also started with spending index of my

luggage

morning

one winter sunday

senior in nineteen seventy

a

the aircraft landing was was created with his

was this morning

wallow unless something

that no one can

similar anyone working in the office

baby for understanding

women corsa and all of us want to consolidate achievements all mainland

routine at that time

mainly on camels drawing board

war there's a profession dealing with the aircraft prednisone

this is a work on an aircraft had when it is not yet available

or someone who would like to say board is designing visitors signs are not

it is both a science and art

the success of an aircraft design

is in fact the status of its design in school

four

i was lucky to be depression this drawing board

and derek reveron opponents for

disapproving went on the other hand own personal were behind the backs of the

sent you a little

many people from the staff contributed their thoughts this aircraft

and its elements

it's

ho

donors and

it was an exciting time hearing denounced by class than we were in the

mean pressed on the face and

interchangeable lenses

to work on such

overwhelming conscious

it

resume their where all their friends too

who treated us as their equals

or it might have seemed to us so

on the other hand uses the best time for everyone

why has the best recollections

part-time

after the wind tunnel test of these models upon receiving positive results

an exam i'm really sad

won't let you let's go to south korea

the software rose from the safety of the table

shook my hand

and gave me a pic there what was written

that's what you meant to move

designer engineer on the second category

was awarded the first category

with a salary one hundred and eighty five rubles

the most interesting with the words that's of course

you've done a lot of work

but you have to understand that this is a part of the work is being done in the

country

to conquer this peak

through developing the fourth generation fighter

so what's the seizure of all they open designers offered

let's have a go of this problem

to fly into the air in aircraft needs a lift force

elwin plays a key role in this process

there are some specific ways to create a list for some the week

these are use of special airfoil section

an increase of an angle of attack

the angle of attack is the angle at which you know we meet senator flock

in these air flow conditions

air pressure on her way is higher than about it

this pressure difference creates a list for spa a week

but what about other parts of an aircraft duly crater left for us

what about issues a lot

on most aircraft his large creates a minimalist force

is it possible to change the situation

it appeared so

the s_ u_ twenty-seven designer used airfoil sections

to build other structural parts of an aircraft not only a week

it would be no exaggeration to say that the whole aircraft became catalysts

services

so we moved glove played a large role in creating the floors

but initially the designers could not see all the advantages of such technical

innovation

police officer we would love a semester controls aircraft stability

at supersonic speed

only after enormous amount of wind tunnel tests

designers realized

mu advantages of the wing group block

we had a wonderful guy

cornish hen

you know those departments

undiscovered one very interesting effect

this is

it's the way you root canals

his main pointed

which means

religious

looked at them

was very sorrowful four drinks which induced

with a sharp object

this effect self-rule made it possible g to increase lift force

altman please fifty percent dcr are upset

candidly with glove transforms an air flow into a powerful air force

cortex creates a stable macuser member of the week

differential pressure grows causing a significant increase of lift force

was an angle of attack increase the vortex intensity grows this allows an

aircraft to fly at high rangel's imageshack without losing its stability

are stalling into a spin this directly leads to higher maneuverability

for example the turnaround turn can be performed more aggressive

during such maneuvers vortex intention is so big

performance can be seen within the n_r_a_

whole gold

designed to have a look at what was happening with the new american finder

in july nineteen seventy two of the aircraft called asked fifteen eagle

performed its first flagg

the f_-fifteen had a traditional him

therefore if the issue twenty seven air dynamically out at advantages and was

expected to be superior to the u_s_ funded

budget issue twenty seven had to meet a competition in the u_s_ is our first

the choice had to be made between

the yac forty-five

mig twenty nine and issue twenty seven

is worth mentioning that the support design bureau

presented another project of a fighter with traditional it out

this accord designers prefer their new layout

two divisional walking

but they couldn't predict the opinion of the military authorities on the issue

but the future the new layout was so promising

then the next stage of the gender the maybe twenty nine

took a new shape

it's worth stressing

that was planned to choose only one project

but later shiny sensual correction and she's remained

into the plan

this situation somehow look similar to the one they had in the u_s_

designing their f_-fifteen aircraft the americans realize that sometimes it was

not reasonable to use such an expensive aircraft

therefore in addition to the f_-fifteen was decided to develop an aircraft which

would be cheaper and later infusions aircraft will be known as they have

sixty

initially to the concept of an advanced fighter was also revised eventually the

nikkei on design bureau

and to develop a lightweight fighter

heavy fighter development was the task for this accord bureau as for the

outcome of design bureau they didn't participate in this tender any law

the decision to designed to difference letters was quite logical it wasn't

copying of the american conception of tone

in the u_s_s_r_ they conducted certain research on this issue the results were

nearly the same

lightweight fighter such as the mig-twenty nine were required to provide

air defense of over a battlefield

the fighters like the issue twenty seven

to another security operating over enemy territory

that would ensure

successful combat mission

on the front line

attack aircraft

situation mentioning that in the process of the aircraft building the question

whether we were right in our decision

for the two aircraft types

was continuously emerging

show when the time when d'amico she became minister of defense

he raise this issue

at the moment when we're on the stately tests slipped anyway we stood the strong

administrator pressure and prove that it was necessary to build two aircraft

exactly where they made twenty nine dollars

and the cecile twenty seven so that's it

in nineteen seventy for my own journey of course

was opening the aircraft she designer

at a time the name issue twenty seven was classified

and the aircraft was developed under g tender submission

from nearly seven days a lot of testing experiments were conducted on this

these include a wind tunnel simulation

some full-scale flying models

test bed for the aircraft systems development and many others

recently the mediation students were also involved in this project

when the development of soviet union

more companies and enterprises

became involved in the new aircraft creation process

among those were different design the ropes

and research organisations

was a restriction

reason speaking about that time it was normal

and very intensive work

i can say that it wasn't easy as it was very intense quite normally work to do

rendering when we first saw the g_-ten one aircraft marcom

we were very much impressed with this unusual names

aerodynamic configuration and and with the hollywood sharing

the aircraft which was a bird

without an exaggeration i would say in those years i was looking forward

to anywhere

nato because it was interesting to work

donors and our cameras stagnation this timing in ways and means somewhere

but in the defense industry

we were in the state of war

we worked on during war time schedule

dot there was anything wrong when employees for the defense industries

where leaders

restoring

including financial support for us

there were some difficult situations however we're not going to meet new

level when given helped to set something like that

that was a great heroes

the objective was clear

there's so many other than to be better than the american water

some is better than american was sort of official slogan in the u_s_ aside

now let's go back to the seventies

the olympic games in munich in nineteen seventy two

the summit at least had a goal to win fifty gold medals central district the

americans in this competition

no sooner said than done the so that's one fifty gold medals

those victories were unforgettable

usa men's basketball team won their first olympic gold medals by beating the

u_s_ gene

in a challenging and dramatically

last week but any bustles

one one hundred meters and two hundred meter runs and cut short nomination of

americans but

piece of the power must be gets hot

in nineteen seventy five everything was ready to build proto type aircraft

in nineteen seventy six

the council of ministers in his association the corresponding decrease

in spring nineteen seventy seven the first teach and prototype was ready for

flight tests

p

unfortunately bundles of joint

didn't live to the moment to see the aircraft completely built

on september fifteen nineteen seventy five this outstanding designer

his close associates yevgeny vinyls took over

here's the video of tution or their parade in nineteen forty eight

i will support is in the middle

yevgeny even of is on the left

the issue twenty seven g desire was also replaced

in nineteen seventy six years it was interesting to remind the ceo seem

may twentieth nineteen seventy seven

slightly sheer tends to be a field and records

features by mid-nineteen usually is getting ready to take a new fighter out

into the sky

ledu tuition

his hero of the soviet union the souffle design bureau senior test five

panasonic famous on the aircraft designers

peterson many support your craft before that time

and he got a feeling that this aircraft will become one of the best fighters in

the

pay for this aircraft less than one hundred and forty-two modifications of

different aircraft happen and i was listening

there was a kind of smarter not pollution

table of doing more than that color

with things were quite different on that one hundred and forty third can prove to

be smarter than i was

as soon as the aircraft took off from the concrete facilitating the aircraft

into the air for the first time

estella realizes aircraft could do more than the pilots mechanics

to make full use of its wonderful capabilities it's necessary to improve

my skills

it was an air traffic on the air waited all lifelong together for the sake of

this aircraft it was worth becoming a cop

but it was very long way to make this aircraft the best world's fuck

by the time of the first test flight despite all the technical innovations it

was evident of this aircraft could not be superior to its american rifle

the f_-fifteen already showed its potential

in nineteen seventy five the specially arranged aircraft set several rate of

crime world records

during the issue twenty seven development became obvious that the

aircraft would be too heavy

its weight characteristics were exceeded because of henry electronica equipment

bible soho was right when he died of that

electronics industry could provide up-to-date equipment

missile armament designers also fell outside lands the engines were only in

development stage

but it was clear that he could consume more fuel than expected

and therefore more fuel will be required to more of the aircraft

there are some problems with the aircraft aerodynamics parameters

during the first flight tests it turned out that angles of attack higher than

ten

the aircraft started to shake

in such a situation

bed was useless to talk

about the soviet fighter superiority
