Sukhoi Su-35 Russia's Supplementary Fighter

摘要

Externally, the differences between the two fighters are small: the Su-35's tailfins are shorter than the Su-27's (while the rudders are wider) and the 'sting' protruding between the engine nozzles is smaller. The large aerodynamic brake on the Su-27 is absent on the new aircraft, which uses differential deflection of the rudders to lose speed. And the Su-35's nose landing gear has two wheels instead of one.
