Ha! I find the aesthetics the least pleasing. FSW has some interesting flight characteristics, but the disadvantages are such that they cant outweight any gains.
Completely agree. It's stunningly beautiful. I believe the SU-47 was a one of test bed for super-manoeuvrability and drag reduction. I'm not sure if they ever tested any combat payload or configuration options, as ultimately the Pak F/A came along instead, which I always felt was a shame. I guess that was an inevitable consequence of the general move away from ultra-manoeuvrable ultra-fast fighters to slower and less agile but stealthier designs. A part of me feels that was a step backwards. (basically a cleverly painted flying washing machine)
Well it was canceled and most Russian fighters AND main bomber are still bases on Su-27 platform which was also provided to China. So in case of a global conflict they can be mass produced and serviced almost anywhere on the continent.
@@stack0413 What? It was just a test bed for newer designs. It's like saying that the American f-14 was 30 years behind Nazi Germany because they almost finished the Messerschmitt P.1101 with variable wings.
This is most beautiful aircraft i ever seen. So sad, it was built only 1 for experiment. I want to see they continue developing the full functional Su-47. It would be super cool !
Supreme Dev I agree. Whatever happened to it in development, this is without a doubt the most beautiful - and deadly-looking - fighter ever developed. Only the Fw-190 is as beautiful as this fighter, in my opinion.
Supreme Dev Its total badass, I would love it if they evolved the concept and made it 5th gen with the same wing design but using the thrust vectoring and materials of the PAK-FA, then Russia would officially have 2 planes of 5th generation stealth!
+Supreme Dev look closely starting at 3:10 ... and all the pictures. the slim (not high) fuselage and the upper concept is already close to the pak FA. why decide not for this concept? this concept can create mroe lift. but it is too heavy because it is unreliable so u need mroe weight. in addition the lift/area quota is very high. but the trapezoid aerofoil has bigger area and therefore the pak fa is much better in high speed cornering. only in displaying airshows, what u see the 47 is in advantage - but not ready to fight. so result is very easy: the fa 50 is better, has less drag and better lift at high speeds! in addition it is stealth, fully. and the close combat fighting abilities for such a flat, slim palne are putstanding. there is no need ever for this plane. it looks good. if you own 700mio euro, you can buy one, without all the technology inside, but surely with the material compounds to have the same performance. surely it amy only cost 200mio, but u need some spare money for the concept and in addition u wanna keep some money. so honestyly this is a plane i LOVE. but miliatary use is not very high, only a concept
I'll admit it. Those wings will break at high speed and make the jet unstable. But we also need to admit that the Sukhoi Berkut is a freakin awesome looking jet. It's just beautiful.
That's why it's engines can reach a maximum of only 1.6 mach my friend :) It's not that much of an attack aircraft. It can be a bomber as well. Aerodynamically, it can reach bombing speed(around 300-400 km) with barely engine activity, and right after the bombs are away, just activate the afterburner and enjoy it's manoeuverability, good luck to any machine gun AA system trying to take you down, or even line up the crosshair to the aircraft. Of course the only way out is heat seeking measures.
one of these is parked outside a hanger in Zhukovskiy LII air field in Russia,I always have a look at the airports on Google earth and looking closely at the Zhukovskiy LII air field you can clearly see a black shape with forward swept wings. Its right there standing on it own apart from all the planes at the air field
i love how the plane looks, it just looks so original. the f 22 is pretty cool too, but honestly, what would be the coolest is to see them both flying together .
It may not be the plain itself, is the final product, but priceless experience and knowledge, that engineers and production specialists are getting in a process.
To bad they stopped making the su 47 i think its fantastic and badass......... i think they only made a handful as well!!! i wish the Russians would start making them again!!
The reverse sweep of the wing gives an incredible super-maneuverability, but there is no technology to make the appropriate metal alloy for the wing itself, which would overcome problems with aerodynamics, and therefore there are difficulties with speed, but scientists have long calculated that if you can find the right alloy, then such aircraft will not only be incredibly super-maneuverable, but also fast. Nevertheless, despite the many difficulties with finding the right metal alloy to build aircraft with a reverse sweep of the wing, this is the only aircraft that is put on the wing. Su-47 "Berkut" the world's only aircraft with a reverse sweep of the wing! Not only Russia tried to create an aircraft with forward-swept wings, but the test was a failure, including the US, who tried first to lift into the air, this plane, and only the Sukhoi design Bureau managed to create an aircraft that took off and is still on the go, the Sukhoi design Bureau, the aircraft was considered as experimental media at the time called him a aircraft of the 5th generation, it certainly was not so, because he didn't even have engines with thrust vectoring, although the media were right according to its characteristics, this aircraft was ahead of its time for decades to come. "Berkut" became a flying laboratory for testing new technologies related to the armament of promising aircraft. It is also worth noting that the creation of the su-47 had in the 90s, when the financing of any projects was completely suspended, and engineers collected "Berkut" literally at their own expense from scrap materials!
@@_flyingcat_7527 The reason Russia and America have such different design philosophies is that super stealth vs. super maneuverabilty is a trade off...for example canards enhance maneuverability but compromise stealth so you usually have to emphasize one over the other at least to some degree...
For instance F35 optimizes for stealth by sacrificing kinetic performance (it is dead slow for instance)...Typhoon and Rafale choose speed and maneuver and sacrifice stealth
+Sapraphost Ali Oh wow. This is an old idea the Germans and the Americans tried decades ago. Come on, read up just a LITTLE first. The SU47 failed years ago, as did the 1.22.... aka: the Eurofighter knock-off. Stop reading and fueling soviet propaganda. Both of the 5th generation russian fighters 100% failed and deserve no admiration, they failed! The 1.22 and the SU47 failed even before the year 2000. The entire PAK FA program was not even started until after 2001.
Sapraphost Ali Cooler? lol.... does that make it more effective at doing its job????? Lethal? Deadly? Useful? Faster? LOL... keep talking about "cooler" and the Americans will easily take full control of the air dominance fight. Moscow knows this, which is why the 1.22 and SU47 were scrapped for the F22 rip off. Cooler? Whatever helps you sleep at night. The entire 1.22 project failed, along with the laughable SU47. PAK FA wasn't even started until the early 2000's. Research before you Regurgitate.
Sapraphost Ali Not at all. But we are not at a car show judging aesthetics and personal opinion. We are talking about failed experimental aircraft used in propaganda. Your blind regurgitation of soviet propaganda would bother most rational human beings. Not to mention a fighter jet fan with facts. On another note, aesthetics and unquantifiable opinions have no place with fighter jets, or any war machine. - Does it do the job its supposed to ??? - How well does it do its job ??? End of story. It is not pathetic you admire a complete failure, it is pathetic you fail to understand or even know that it failed in the first place. And even worse, you are blind to soviet propaganda. Your ignorance would be forgivable if it was not such a crucial component to the soviet propaganda machine working. For mother russia???? lol... right. Get the hell out of here with that bullshit. The entire SU47 project was a failure, as was the 1.22. If you don't know that, you don't know jack.
Damn! That thing is AWESOME looking! It definitely looks the part of a bird of prey. I'm American but you really have to give the Russian's their due credit, they not only build excellent aircraft..they put a lot of thought into the style of it as well. Looks like a Klingon bird of prey with the forward swept wings..I love it! lol. Respect to Russia :-)
proof of the genius of Russian phenomenal aeronautical engineers this is the sexiest most beautiful supersonic jet fight the land f Russian ever produced....

You're right. The Horten Brothers developed a flying wing with stealth characteristics. It did fly but it was too late in the war to make a difference. Lockheed replicated one and put it in their radar test facility a few years back and proved that if it would have become operational, it would have given the Nazis a significant advantage due to high speed, very low radar AND heat signature. Discovery Channel (or was it History Channel somewhere between two Pawn Stars episodes?) had a documentary
Look at the air over the wings compared to other jets and you'll truly appreciate how agile this plane would've been. With modern materials, a feel that the stress issues of forward swept wings could be overcome.
@@Jusuffthe SU47 was planned for trust vectoring, but the engines were not installed because the program ended. It was made for supermaneuverability. The top speed was only Mach 1.6 because of the wing shape, it could have gone faster as it shares the engines with the MiG31
Maybe but forward swept wings designs aren't stealthy because of several issues, like featuring canards - which are basically huge radar reflectors. So it's very unlikely we see such an aircraft in service
@@timbermicka uh, who told you that canards are radar reflectors? You should avoid strange RUclips channels. Not going into the long of it, but just to show how the argument they make is silly, stealth aircraft tend to have all movable elevators.
Based on my limited understanding: Pros: * Hyper-manoeuvrable * Mechanically simple - manoeuvrability doesn't need thrust vectoring. * 15-20% reduction in drag over the comparable design in conventional wing layout. * Hard to stall * Wing roots being a long way back leaves more space for internal weapons or sensor bays. Cons: * Inherently *extremely* unstable, to the extent the plane can *only* be a fly-by-wire. * Computer complexity is the trade of for mechanical simplicity. Generally FSW designs use triple or even quadruple redundant fly-by-wire systems, as without them the plane will instantly become completely uncontrollable by a human pilot. * Weight. The forward swept wing is subject to very strong twisting forces. To counter this, the wing spars have to be much more heavily built than in a regular plane, imposing a big weight and payload penalty, cancelling out much of the low-drag advantage. * Poor stealth. It's much harder to give FSW designs low radar reflectivity. This was ultimately what killed them, as stealth is the current holy grail.
What a great vid ! I am just about to start a 1:72 model of Berkut . Wales UK. ( 2022 finished "what if?" Berkut , in service jet , on my channel .) such a lovely aircraft .
this jet is an icon... it changed paradigms in an attempt to increase maneuverability and evade missiles, which generated a new paradigm shift, the directional turbines... with them there was no longer a need for inverted wings, and the SU-57 was born, now perfect
Instead of arguing the merits of the design, I think I will visualize it is a star wars movie or something. Too bad beautiful things are meant to kill. No, im not a passifist. I worked on A-7 corsairs in southeast asia. I just look at this plane as flying Art!
К сожалению этот самолёт не потянул на звание истребителя 5 поколения (как и Миг-1.14). Ни каких преимуществ обратная стреловидность крыла не дала. Но до чего красивый истребитель, как буд то попал к нам из параллельного мира!)
+piloteer the Sukhoi Su-47 was an entirely new aircraft, whereas the X-29 was on a Testbed based on the F-20 Tigershark airframe, which they just put new wings and intakes on as well as an electronics suite. Su-47 has technology from prior Sukhoi aircraft but has an entirely new airframe.
oh my god why there are haters ??? people this is su 47 the best Maneuverable fighter in the world ...... and Russian fighters will stay the best fighters in the world ....... man Russia will kick as any air forse in the planet
They sure know how to build some big beautiful aircraft. I love the style and grace theses big birds have... something only Russia does very well. Thanks for sharing

I would _love_ a breakdown of the pros and cons of a swept forward wing design as pertaining to a military application.
Based on my limited understanding:
Pros:
* Hyper-manoeuvrable
* Mechanically simple - manoeuvrability doesn't need thrust vectoring.
* 15-20% reduction in drag over the comparable design in conventional wing layout.
* Hard to stall
* Wing roots being a long way back leaves more space for internal weapons or sensor bays.
Cons:
* Inherently *extremely* unstable, to the extent the plane can *only* be a fly-by-wire.
* Computer complexity is the trade of for mechanical simplicity. Generally FSW designs use triple or even quadruple redundant fly-by-wire systems, as without them the plane will instantly become completely uncontrollable by a human pilot.

It is amazing stealth plane !!!!!
The only thing I don't like in Russia, is that they canceled this project!
Such a gorgeous plane.
Instead of arguing the merits of the design, I think I will visualize it is a star wars movie or something. Too bad beautiful things are meant to kill. No, im not a passifist. I worked on A-7 corsairs in southeast asia. I just look at this plane as flying Art!
True....but sadly it never went production
Прекрасная технология, добротный видеоролик и шикарная музыкальная склейка от Jabbawockeez Music - In The Mind
frumoasa realizare,felicitari!!!
Haters are gona HATE !
I Love it!
К сожалению этот самолёт не потянул на звание истребителя 5 поколения (как и Миг-1.14). Ни каких преимуществ обратная стреловидность крыла не дала. Но до чего красивый истребитель, как буд то попал к нам из параллельного мира!)
I can see the huge air pressure on the main wing
thank you engineer world to you best
Wow cooler Jet.
que lastima que no se produjo en masa :(
I recognized the beginning theme as being arrival to earth from the transformers movies
Those canards and that forward swept wing for better handling. The best culmination of airplane research out there.
Reminds me soooo much about the G-9 Eclipse from Just Cause 2!
красивый самолет красиво и летает-звездАлёт
Amazing, typical Russian asymmetric thinking. :)
+Wouter d.B. US did the same thing with the X-29 in 1984 :)
+piloteer it is not the same.
+piloteer yes, been there done that
+piloteer the Sukhoi Su-47 was an entirely new aircraft, whereas the X-29 was on a Testbed based on the F-20 Tigershark airframe, which they just put new wings and intakes on as well as an electronics suite. Su-47 has technology from prior Sukhoi aircraft but has an entirely new airframe.
@@CrazyTechLab But Ju-287 was the first!
Yay 50 second intro
au care, svaka cast na videu.
Amazing 👏👏👏
Anyone who underestimates these amazing machines is a fool.. I hope the US and Russia join to fight our common enemy.. radical Islam.
Unfortunately, radical Islam exist thanks to mine and your taxes. Both parties democrats and Republicans are to be blamed for this modern mostruosity.
it look's like a plane from the future :)
i pilote it on HAWX :D
oh my god why there are haters ??? people this is su 47 the best Maneuverable fighter in the world ...... and Russian fighters will stay the best fighters in the world ....... man Russia will kick as any air forse in the planet
if air battle is made into a movie, this would be the utterly charming ultimate villain.
Why the vilain ? Usually in the World, the US aircrafts are the vilains.
They sure know how to build some big beautiful aircraft. I love the style and grace theses big birds have... something only Russia does very well. Thanks for sharing
50 seconds intro. Seriously...?
