Sukhoi today confirms a 90min flight by test pilot Sergey Bogdan in the first series-production version of the Su-35S, which has 48 orders from the Russian air force. As the latest improvement of the Su-27/30MKI Flanker series, the Su-35S integrates the higher-thrust and -trust vector control authority of the NPO Saturn 117S engine, full fly-by-wire control system and increased service-life titanium structure. Gone are the canards and air brake of the Su-30MKI.
