Friday Fly-By - Sukhoi SU-35 Extreme Maneuvers

The SU-35 is the prototype for the SU-37, a super-maneuverable thrust vectoring Russian fighter. Two Lyulka AL-37FU vectored-thrust afterburning turbofans (30,855 lb thrust each) give the aircraft it’s extreme flight characteristics. Amazing!


Thanks Michael!

I'm not a big airplane follower, but even I know that jets aren't supposed to be able to do that kind of stuff. Pretty amazing all right.

Hey Doug, I'm going flying next weekend if it doesn't rain. Have to go over to San Jose and back. Give me a call if you want to catch a ride.
