The aircraft aerodynamic configuration and flight and power plant controls performance make it possible to operate the aircraft essentially at all flight conditions, typical of modern and advanced combat aircraft. The aircraft leading edge extensions and air intakes layout enable a steady controllable flight at angles of attack up to 40 deg. High thrust/weight ratio provides high sustained maneuvering load factors, takeoff performance and rate of climb. The air intakes and landing gear design with high take-off/landing performance make it possible to operate the aircraft from unpaved runways small unprepared airfields. The aircraft is equipped with complex fly-by-wire control system that functions as automatic flight control system, active flight safety system and provides in training stability and controllability characteristics change depending on the aircraft being simulated.
The aircraft combat training system provides simulation of:
Simplicity of the structure, high reliability of the airframe, power plant and aircraft systems, long service life and full self-sufficiency of the aircraft as well as high maintainability together with a low cost of the life cycle and high flight performance provide high-quality training of the pilots in the shortest possible time and meet efficiently different military challenge.
