Berkut Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Great pictures indeed! Thanks for sharing. I have seen hundred of MAKS pictures this year, but you have some very interesting angles that i haven't seen before. My favorite one must be the second or first pic of Su-35S in the loop. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flankerman Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 A few of mine - taken from the Media Platform on Saturday. Not the best photos I have ever taken - a combination of bad weather and my crap photography. Saturday morning was heavy showers - but the sun came out mid-afternoon. Anyway, here goes..... MiG-29OVT landing after his display.... Sukhoi Superjet... Beriev Be-200ChS.... The Su-34 development machine now has a fence on top of the wing near the tips.... T50 being towed past in a bag. Another view of the Su-34 Bort 48... Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 A few more..... T50 Bort 52 displaying..... Cutting edge in its day - the Polokarpov I-16... ... and the MiG-3.... A few more photos here. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites

geedubelyer Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Stunning shots of the Super-Flanker The trio of Sukhoi products makes for a splendid photo opportunity. I bet that was a memorable sight to see live. It could be the perspective but the air intakes on the Su-37(?) and Su-34 appear to be spaced slightly differently at their entrance on my monitor. I always thought they were based on the same platform. Am I just seeing things? Thanks for posting these outstanding images. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I always thought they were based on the same platform. Am I just seeing things? The latter I think Guy Bort 901 is a Su-35S BTW..... The Su-34 has different intakes to all the other Flankers - the spacing is the same AFAIK, but the Su-34 has a rounded lower lip with a fixed slot in the bottom. It also does away with the complicated intake compression ramps I think - as its operating environment doesn't need them. Note also that Su-34 bort 48 (the Sukhoi development machine) now sports a small upper wing fence near the wingtip missile pylon. Dunno what its for - or whether it will be retrofitted to the production machines but it seems that aerodynamic testing is continuing. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
