Somehow I like it. Looks definetly better than this F-35...

I can't swing that. It looks like a damn duck haha ;)

What are you talking about dude?

Great video and a most impressive display.

 

The canards spend a whole lot of time Leading edge down though. This is surprising imo as thats a lot of trim drag being created. I also cant quite figure out why in a Positive G pitching manoeuvre you would want the Canards Leading edge down ... surely that's got to be going against the desired pitch rate ??

[GGTharos]

They might not be elevators, but rather lift-generating devices like on the Su-33.

[IvanK]

... but that would be negative lift.

[Kuky]

^^^

My guess is the canards are there to direct more air towards the wing, or maybe smooth the airflow over the wing

[Luse]

Pitch-rate control maybe?

[mvsgas]

AFIIK, they are there to try to prevent airflow separation and increase lift at high AOA, assisting the leading edge extensions and leading edge flaps. So, they do not serve like typical canards, more like the canards on the Mirage IIIS.

Haven't seen this thing next to the EOS on the Su-35, what is it? A part of the missile warning system or what?

 

 

Edit: If I'm not mistaken several of these or similar sensors can be seen on the latest versions of Ka-52.

WOW, nice vid!

I know a lot of people will disagree, but I find Su-34 to be the most sexy aircraft of the Su-27 family. Nice video :thumbup:

Thanks for the info, still its position is kind of strange, it's looking up. How many of these are there on the Su-35?

A complete set of six pieces 4 in the bow and the two look back - up and back - down at an angle.

 

ОЛО - Subsystem detection of laser. IMHO is not successful, it is better positioned to have endings in the wings as the MiG-35

[GGTharos]

I don't know the exact physics of it - these canards basically angle for something like close to 0 AoA, just like in the Su-33.

 

... but that would be negative lift.

keep foreigners out of the aircraft!
