MAKS 2019: Yuri Vaschuk and his mammoth Su-35s say "Fuck You" to the force of gravity

[Nzinga]

Pronounced "Soo-hoy" which means "Dry" in Russian, and it is in honour of the founding
engineer of the design bureau, Pavel Sukhoi (Paul Sukhoi) (2 July 18885-15 September 1975);

Sukhoi was a student of another famed aeronautics engineer, who head of his own design
bureua, Oleg Antonov, who is more famous for designing transport aircraft for the Soviet
military

Sweet maneuver

Sweet maneuver

At 2:33, the bugger went and parked 39 000lb, 71 foot plane in the middle of the sky
and stood still. The Russians have figured out a way to keep supersonic engines
going at high power even when the compressor is not get air input from forward
motion of the engine

An engineer looking at this plane sees eequations; specificall the brilliant exploitation of the
Bernoulli's equation"

; the body of the fucking plane
is nothing more than a huge aerofoil (ie a huge wing) and between that, and the ability to traject
the engine exhause in anywhere in a a 360 degree arc, the plane is able to perform miracles in
the sky

He did again last year

Yeah. They’ve come a long way since the Wrightski Brothers
