It’s okay, Anon, Russia built a new forward-swept jet that’s an uglier, smaller, worse-performing, two-seater version. Naturally, it’s also rotting in a field somewhere.
Notice how the terminator has been scavenged for parts, probably for some other slightly different prototype that was flaunted as the next best thing and then never built.
>aerodynamic
pretty sure the idea behind forward swept wings is that it's NOT aero dynamic and quite unstable. the idea was to control the instability and turn it into maneuverability. mebbe I'm mistaken.
So aerodynamic that it's rotting in a field
She was too beautiful for this world. Those fricking Russian bastards didn't deserve her.
Preach brother. I can shit talk soviet vehicles all day but SU-47 is fricking cool and they should be ashamed for giving up on this pretty lady.
Unfortunately, forward-swept wings are firmly on the wrong side of the coolness/practicality curve.
They just didn't have the technology necessary to control it and make it stable
I bet it would possible to make one today
The X29 was a forward swept wing Frankenstein made with F5 and F16 parts and it went nowhere
Still, that's like 80's tech, even your fridge probably has a controller that's more powerful than the supercomputers f rom the period

stop samegayging
it would be a shitplane but if russia starts mass producing her i'm going to fight the ukronazis to protect her
if forward swept wings are so fricking good how come no one else gives a shit about them
>prominently asymmetric tails
That's one ugly motherfricker.
You shut your prostitute mouth.
U...uhuhuhu...
AHAHAHA
UUOOOH
SORRY KID
THREE COMPUTERS
AIRFOIL ADJUSTMENTS ONLY PERFORMED IF AT LEAST 2/3 COMPYOOTERS AGREE.
I don't need to be reminded of Soviet warcrimes.
The tallest blade of grass gets cut first...
wow you can actually see the SU-47 degrading, look at how much paint has come off already.
and to think in 2019 when they towed it out for that airshow it looked to still be in good condition
Such a shitty country.

Does it fly backwards?
No, it means the wings have already seen and experienced the future.

>berkut has been staring at the boneyard since her first flight
grim
If Ukraine can capture her they'll be unstoppable.
berkut is mega gay

They look cool and do allow extremely high AoA.
