With these flights I finished my smoke cartridge supplies... I need to buy more, but these are expensive so it may be a while before I upload more smokey-Gripen videos... we'll see. :)
The jet is powered with an upgraded 8S 80mm Jetfan EDF with a 1865kv HET motor. I had to cover the cheater hole with a mosquito net to protect my expensive investment from an otherwise inevitable FOD considering the conditions of my gravel-dirt runway so the jet isn't even displaying it's full thrust potential. This obviously has an effect on performance and current draw. Sadly this setup is too amp hungry and can only get two and a half to three minute flights with throttle management and 3Ah packs. The batteries also struggle to deliver the amps, despite being Panther packs that are pretty heavy/capable. Overall the Jetfan is indeed an improvement in performance over stock setup, but the short resulting flight time kinda defeats the purpose, need to go to higher capacity batteries, and using lower-C packs to keep the weight in check.
These were flights 93rd and 96th to 98th on 'Jana'.

![SHE IS STEALTH AND STEALS YOUR HEART! ✈️ SU-57, MAKS 2015 [Remastered]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cHnppel-R64/mqdefault.jpg "SHE IS STEALTH AND STEALS YOUR HEART! ✈️ SU-57, MAKS 2015 [Remastered]
The gorgeous, stealthy Su-57 steals the hearts of everyone present at the airshow at the hands of Sergey Bogdan with such an astounding display of post-stall maneuvers and pulling clouds out of thin air that leaves everyone marvelled! :D
This is an old Su-57 video from MAKS 2015 with very cool shots that I decided to remaster now that I have better tools to make it look as good as possible. :)
Sergey Bogdan (Сергей Богдан) is the chief test pilot of the Sukhoi Company, so he is the best suited to perform these sort of mind-boggling flight performances with the Sukhoi Su-57, a russian 5th generation fighter aircraft.
The Sukhoi Su-57, previously designated T-50 (Сухой Су-57 / T-50) is a single-seat, twin-engine, stealth fighter aircraft with multirole capability but designed for air superiority and attack operations. This jet aircraft is the product of the PAK-FA (ПАК-ФА, Перспективный авиационный комплекс фронтовой авиации, literally Prospective Aviation Complex of Frontline Aviation), a fifth-generation fighter programme of the Russian Air Force. The first prototype performed the maiden flight on January 29, 2010. Deliveries of production aircraft to the Russian Air Force are expected to begin in 2018.
The fighter is intended to succeed the MiG-29 and Su-27 in the Russian Air Force and to serve as the basis for the Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) while complementing the recently built fleets of SU-35S and SU-30SM. The initial production batch are to be delivered with a highly upgraded variant of the AL-31F engine, extensively used by the Su-27 family while a totally new turbofan jet powerplant is being designed from scratch. In fact the first prototype of this engine has already been fitted into a SU-57 airframe and has already begun testing.
The Su-57 has a blended wing body fuselage and incorporates all-moving horizontal and vertical stabilizers. The aircraft incorporates thrust vectoring nozzles and has adjustable leading edge vortex controllers (LEVCONs) that improve high angle of attack behaviour. The advanced flight control system and thrust vectoring nozzles make the aircraft highly maneuverable in both pitch and yaw, enabling it to perform post-stall maneuvers such as the Pugachevs Cobra and the Bell maneuver, along with doing flat rotations with little altitude loss. The aircrafts high cruising speed and normal operating altitude is also expected to give it a significant kinematic advantage over older fighter jet generations.
GENERAL FEATURES
Length: 19.8 m
Wingspan: 13.95 m
Height: 4.74 m
Wing area: 78.8 m²
Empty weight: 18,000 kg
Loaded weight: 25,000 kg
Typical mission weight, 29,270 kg
Max. takeoff weight: 35,000 kg
Fuel capacity: 10,300 kg
Powerplant: 2 × Saturn AL-41F1 for initial production, izdeliye 30 for later production turbofans
Dry thrust: 93.1 kN / over 108 kN each
Thrust with afterburner: 147 kN / 178 kN each
PERFORMANCE
Maximum speed: Mach 2 (2,140 km/h)
Supercruise: Mach 1.6 (1,700 km/h)
Range: 3,500 km subsonic / 1,500 km supersonic
Service ceiling: 20,000 m
Wing loading: 317–444 kg/m²
Thrust/weight: AL-41F1: 1.02 (1.19 at typical mission weight)
izdeliye 30: 1.16 (1.36 at typical mission weight)
Maximum g-load: +9G

![Su-57 Top Gun Maneuver Flown in Real Life by Sergey Bogdan!! ✈️ MAKS 2017 [Remastered]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cmQoXZ9NIiM/mqdefault.jpg "Su-57 Top Gun Maneuver Flown in Real Life by Sergey Bogdan!! ✈️ MAKS 2017 [Remastered]
If youre a fan of the movie Top Gun: Maverick, youve likely seen the iconic scene where the Su-57 performs a cobra maneuver followed by a yaw spin to evade Tom Cruises F-14 Tomcat and quickly get on its tail... but did you know that this maneuver is not just a Hollywood fantasy? In this video, watch as Sukhois Chief Test Pilot, Sergey Bogdan (Сергей Богдан), demonstrates this incredible capability of the Su-57 with precision and finesse!!
Bu that isnt all... get ready to enjoy the thrilling beauty of the SU-57 fighter jet as it showcases other jaw-dropping aerobatic maneuvers during MAKS 2017 as well as two-ship tight formation flight in this stunning remastered footage! From physics-defying aerobatics to mind-blowing stunts, witness the sheer power and agility of this formidable fighter aircraft!
Captured at the prestigious MAKS 2017 airshow, this remastered video brings you up close to the action, allowing you to experience the adrenaline-pumping thrill of the SU-57 like never before. With its advanced technology and unparalleled performance, the SU-57 proves why its in a league of its own!
