The Advanced Tactical Frontline Fighter (PAK FA) flight testing programme recently reached an important milestone – completion of 100 flights. At present, two fighters are involved in the flight test trials.
PAK FA performed its maiden flight on January 29, 2010, in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. In the beginning of March 2011, the second fighter took to the skies. Today, both aircraft participate in ground and flight test trials. The aircraft was presented to the public for the first time on August 17, 2011 at MAKS-2011, International Aviation and Space Salon, in Zhukovsky.
The PAK FA programme includes creation of the fighter, setting up its serial production and introduction into service by the Russian Air Force. This will enable to enhance the combat capabilities of the Russian Air Force. This programme is of top priority for Sukhoi and UAC, as it provides for development and introduction of materials, element base and technologies of high innovative potential for the aviation industry and the economy of the country, as well as for development of new generation projects.
