OK ,no definitivno su u toj firmi 2 UB .E sad mene interesuje sta je bilo sa ona 2 aviona koja su navodno 1995g dopremljena opet navodno iz Ukrajine u USAF kao `agresori` u Nelis ili mozda nekoj drugoj bazi .
Po onom spisku sa prosle stranice bilo ih je cak 6 aviona .Mi o tome nemamo mnogo ,bolje reci nemamo nikakvih podataka ni slika bas nista ...
Evo jedan interesantan komentar jednog od pilota koji leti na ovim privatnim UB u SAD .
Citat:The Flanker has a very similar look and feel to the F-15, according to Steve. The wings and fuselage are integrated to increase lift and maneuverability and has full span leading edge slats or “live wing” and trailing edge flaperons. Steve says the “live wing,” which is also featured on the F-16 and F/A-18 (but not on the F-15), moves with changes in angle of attack (AOA). The aircraft is light for its size due to the use of lightweight aluminum and titanium throughout its airframe. It also features a fly-by-wire control system, rails for air-to-air missiles, and limited air-to-ground munitions.
Unlike the F-15, there are no fuel drop tanks, but the aircraft does have a large internal storage capacity of nearly 21,000 pounds. This gives the aircraft a range of approximately 1,600 miles at high altitude. Steve says, as part of the demilitarization, the radar, targeting computer, weapons hard points, and portions of the gun were removed, thus lowering the weight by 3,000 pounds. The lower weight, along with the cleaner configuration, makes it a “hot rod airplane,” according to Steve.
To je sto se tice pilota a ovo je komentar jednog tehnicara
Citat:A hallmark of Soviet aircraft design was to build a robust aircraft that could be fixed easily in the field, far from parts supply chains. John T. Greenwood wrote in his book, The Designers: Their Design Bureaux and Their Aircraft, that the “Sukhoi’s Su-27 [and] variants demonstrates the wisdom of evolutionary design and design heredity, and component commonality - no great technological leaps are risked, production is not seriously interrupted for retooling and retraining, and service requirements are met.” Lead Pride technician Bruce would agree that the aircraft are built to be repaired easily by technicians with less extensive training. “Their systems are a little simpler,” Bruce Carlson says. “They do have some complicated systems, but overall their jets are basic. To me the systems are three times as easy to understand. They do have their double and triple redundancies [though].”
