For the first time the new Su-37 fighter, whose reversible thrust engine makes it highly maneuverable, was shown in public display on 1 August, ITAR-TASS report. According to the engineers at the Sukhoi Design Bureau, the plane has no equivalent in other airforces and is "the first plane of the 21st century."
Speaking at the demonstration, Sukhoi test pilot Yevgeny Frolov said that unlike aircraft with conventional thrust, this vectored-thrust model could be recovered from spins or from stall attitudes at almost any altitude. Frolov has made 30 flights on the Su-37 in the past four months. Air Force Commander Petr Deynekin was also at the presentation. He announced that the Russian Air Force will definitely be a purchaser of the Su-37.
