The Al-41F program was launched in 1985, and the first protoype engine flew in a Tu-16 Badger testbed in 1990. Prototype engines delivered 39,600 lbf (176 kN) of wet thrust, with 45,000 lbf (200 kN) a design target for the engine. Originally developed for the Mikoyan Project 1.44, the engine was built around the geometry of the AL-31F, making it compatible with existing airframes, including the Sukhoi Su-27 series. The engine is reported to have recently entered low rate initial production for use in the Su-34 Fullback.
leonard ::Mig 1.44 je mozda i mogao uci u naoruzanje da su imali pare tokom '90 kojim sada raspolazu. Kao neka zamena za Mig-31.
Ne bilo lose uopste ali sam vec davno spominjao da bi avion koji bi bio seriski radjen bio znatno manji od demonstratora, a mislim da avion koji bude menjao MiG-31 treba da ima solidne gabarite.
Citat:I 1.44 i 47 su ostali samo tehnoloski demonstratori.
Znas sta mi nije najasnije, to je spomenuo mladen225 da nigde nije primenjena kombinacija kanard+delta+dva vertikalca osim kod MiG 1.42/1.44. Pitanje je kako su to resili i da li je resenje bilo dobro.
