Sunday Aircraft Cheesecake (Su-47/S37 Berkut)
I love airplanes. I especially love military aircraft, and even moreso unique-looking military aircraft. For the next couple of weeks, I will try to highlight an aircraft that strikes my fancy. It may or may not become a regular feature.
This week's entry is the Sukhoi Su-47/S37 Berkut:
What I like about this fighter is the forward-swept wing, something I find quite visually appealing in an aircraft. Whether the wing shape confers any performance benefits is open to debate.
Enjoy the pic, and let me know if you have a favorite aircraft you would like to see featured.
Corsair...you know...the old one.
I've always loved the way that plane looks.
Pappy rides again!

This is a very cool feature. I can't wait for the next installment!

I really like watching "the airplane channel"... there is ALWAYS something facinating to watch.

Posted by: Air at November 26, 2004 09:35 AMI love that plane and know much about it. You should look up its modified version the S-32. Take a closer look at its vectors (it is a bit unique). Also on the topic of Russian aircraft look up the SU-32, this modified longer-range version of the SU-27 has a kitchen, and toilet behind the pilot. Be expecting to see more of me on your site often.
