Su-47 Berkut (V2)

311 Bootlesspick  2.0 years ago

After a few days of tinkering I have managed to revise the design if the previous Su-47 I had made. This version includes a number of improvements such as a redesign in the fuselage, a new weapons bay with more missiles, built in gun, improved ability to recover the aircraft from an uncontrolled spin among other things.
Their are still some issues however these have been minimized, the main issue being the aircrafts tendency to turn to the left by 1 degree during takeoff, this issue should not hamper it ability to fly as the aircraft returns to the original heading upon takeoff if left to take off without using elevators or adjustment using rudders. Also the aircraft itself now has a greater tendency to now push the aircraft's nose upwards rather than downwards, the issue itself is equally as easy to counteract as the last version so I recommend not leaving the pitch of the aircraft unattended.

Activation groups
1 - Cockpit
2 - Drop tanks
3 - Drag chute
8 - Gyroscope stabilization

Once again feel free to modify this version as well, however I do not recommend adding back the drag scale to parts of the aircraft as well as making certain parts of the aircraft thinner on the fuselage than it already is, doing this will likely cause the turning during takeoff to worsen.

    @Bootlesspick That is so cool ! It makes me feel good when I hear stuff like that. Fyi, if I am going to modify somebody else's work, I ONLY modify planes that I think are awesome or I won't bother. You Sir, built an awesome aircraft ! ! !

    @Zaineman Yeah I tested it out and I must say I love how it flys now, I am happy with the end result as it’s able to perform various maneuvers with it.
